The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”

“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.

Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

    If he’s found guilty in Georgia, even if he doesn’t do time, I think it’s very unlikely he will be on the Georgia ballot, which will cost him 16 electoral votes he would have otherwise been almost guaranteed to win.

      And then all we need is other states like Michigan, California, etc to not let him on and they will have to run someone else who isn’t a treasonous traitor who sold/gave away secrets to Russia, NK, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.

      There was a day not long ago when the entire republican party would be calling for trumps head and want him strung up in the middle of town. Now there are no crimes they won’t ignore if it means getting the dems and making as many people suffer as possible.

      Honest question from a foreigner: is it possible for the electoral college select a write-in candidate?

      If so, Trump not being on the ballot may not be enough to keep him out of power.
