HERE IS THE ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY:

However, below are a few excerpts from the Article:
"They're poisoning the blood of our country. That's what they've done," Trump said Saturday in Durham, New Hampshire. "They're coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia, over the world. They're pouring into our country."
The former president, again, praised authoritarian leaders including Hungary's Viktor Orban, China's Xi Jinping and North Korea's Kim Jong Un --
During a Veterans Day rally in New Hampshire, Trump vowed to "root out" his political opponents, who he said "live like vermin" as he warned supporters that America's greatest threats come "from within" -- yet again startling experts and critics who said his words echoed those of past fascist dictators like Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A Trump campaign spokesman dismissed the backlash to that speech.
Trump's campaign rhetoric includes repeated recent comments that he won't be a dictator as president "except for day one..."

I'm sorry, but how does this surprise anyone? How many times does Trump have to say things like this before the realization sets in that Donald has never been anything but a Self-Centered Dictator Wannabe who would sell out his Country for the Power and Notoriety that he so desperately craves?
However, It is gratifying that President Biden and many Democrats are finally calling out Trump for his Fascist and Hate-Filled Rhetoric. So, as a reminder, let us take a look at Donald Trumps Verbal Gems from the past:
On 9/30/2022 Donald Trump wrote the following on Truth Social;
“Is McConnell approving all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills, without even the slightest bit of negotiation, because he hates Donald J. Trump, and he knows I am strongly opposed to them, or is he doing it because he believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal, and is willing to take the Country down with him?” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“In any event, either reason is unacceptable. He has a DEATH WISH. Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!” he added.
Anybody who has spent any time on this site knows what I think of Mitch McConnell, and since he has spent much of the past 5-6 Years promoting Fascism, and "DER FUEHRER" TRUMP, it is hard for me to have any sympathy for him. Yet, even at my level of disdain for him personally, it would never occur to me to imply a physical threat if he doesn't change, or use a juvenile racial slur about his wife.
Why would Trump do this? BECAUSE HE KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH IT, AND HE REALIZES THAT HIS HARD-CORE SUPPORTERS ARE LITTLE MORE THAN FASCIST THUGS, WHOSE SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT SEEMS TO LACK THE ABILITY TO EMPATHIZE AND UNDERSTAND THAT HUMANITY IS MORE THAN JUST A WORD DESCRIBING PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES, BUT A SPECIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO FORM AND CREATE ETHICAL GUIDELINES THAT ALLOW FOR PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE APPLICABLE TO ALL IT'S MEMBERS.
It would be different if this were an aberration, but the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP, NEWS MEDIA, ACADEMIA etc., seems to forget the recent past. Well, I don't.
TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE FOLLOWING;
CANDIDATE TRUMP TALKING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON,
HINTING AT WHAT GUN EXTREMISTS COULD DO if she is elected.
8/10/2016.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is,
I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”
EVEN MURDER WOULDN'T BOTHER HIS MOST FANATIC SUPPORTERS.
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."
Actually, it would have been more accurate for TRUMP to have said; ..."and I wouldn't lose votes." Why? We know now that the Rigging of Voter returns in Key States was supposed to Guarantee a TRUMP Victory, but just in case the plan was discovered, and thwarted, Donald concentrated on a campaign that would ensure that his Most Radical Supporters:
White Supremacists.
Religious Zealots.
Xenophobes.
Homophobes.
Ultra-Conservative Nationalists.
Not only would support him, but defend any Lie or Deception that Trump spread across the Media. Unfortunately, as has happened so many times over the past half dozen years or so, Trump says things like the examples above, and the opposition and the Media fail to point out previous transgressions.
As of now, we hear constant talk about TRUMP making False Claims about the 2020 Election, Yet for some bizarre reason there is a failure to MENTION THAT TRUMP MADE THE SAME ACCUSATIONS BEFORE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND AFTER THE 2018 MID-TERMS.
In 2016 it was a clever backup, in case Russia didn't deliver on the anticipated altering of Voter Returns in Key States. He had a ready-made collection of FASCIST SYCHOPHANTS ready to believe anything he said. (So the Insurrection had to wait 4 years) In 2018, it was a way to explain the GOP losses at the polls.
Remember the following? Do you really think they were calculated to appeal to the Majority of Americans, or a select segment:
TALKING ABOUT MEXICO.
6/15/2015
"They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Immigration.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries coming here?”
Violence In Charlottesville.
These are just a few examples, but you get the idea. As I have said in the past:
THE CONSTITUTION MANDATES THAT WE TOLERATE SPEECH WE CONSIDER OFFENSIVE. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO RESPECT IT. IF YOU BELIEVE I AM BEING UNFAIR TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS, I LEAVE IT TO YOU: PLEASE POINT OUT WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE "RESPECTFUL" NATURE OF THE THINGS TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES DO AND SAY. I AM ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, TUMBLER, DIGG AND LINKEDIN. I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO POINT OUT DONALD TRUMPS POSITIVE QUALITIES, AND HOW HIS SUPPORTERS JUST WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY.
