Trump Recreates 1939 American Nazi Rally
Trump's anti-immigrant hate, "poisoning the blood", "occupied country", and "American for Americans" statements all echo the hateful bigoted, racist, lies of American Nazis 85 years earlier.
Donald Trump understands the power of symbolism. Trump launching his presidential campaign at Waco Texas on the 30th anniversary of the siege was a clear message of support to right-wing, violent, anti-government extremists. And picking the site of the infamous 1939 American Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, Trump shows his support for the same hateful, racist, bigoted, anti-immigration beliefs.
