Trump Speech Draws Hitler Comparisons

A recent speech from Donald Trump (R) is causing a stir for its alleged xenophobic rhetoric that's drawing comparisons to the infamous nazi, Adolf Hitler.

Trump has campaigned across the country over the last few months as he tries to get elected into office as the 47th president. Currently, the twice-impeached candidate is in New Hampshire, which is also where his speech took place.

"They're poisoning the blood of our country. That's what they've done. They poison 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...all over the world," said Trump in his speech.

"They're pouring into our country. Nobody's even looking at them. They just come in. The crime is going to be tremendous."

Trump continued to talk about terrorism and the border wall he so often went on about while he was in office. The speech drew much criticism from various political pundits and voters as they stated Trump's words were harmful and reminiscent of Hitler.

Trump's words come at an odd time as anti-semitism has been on the rise across the globe and in America. The indicted candidate is currently facing several lawsuits including a civil fraud trial.

The civil fraud trial has resulted in various reprimands of the disgruntled defendant. Having been previously warned to not violate the gag orders, Trump has been fined a total of $15,000 for disobeying the judge's orders.

After hearing his former attorney Michael Cohen's testimony, Trump made statements, both in-person and on social media, claiming that someone very "partisan" was sitting next to the judge. These accusations put the former president in trouble as he ran the risk of receiving a financial penalty for his words.

Judge Engoron found Trump's comments to be directed at his law clerk, which he deemed to be unacceptable. Trump, however, claimed that his comments were not targeted at the judge's law clerk, but at Cohen.

Engoron awarded him his second penalty of $10,000 and gave him a stern warning to not do it again.
