Trump Goes FULL PANIC With Alarming Fascist Outburst On Stage
Donald Trump tries to ignite deep panic in his supporters with blatantly fascist attacks against migrants and calls to criminalize different vulnerable populations during alarming New Hampshire Trump rally. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.
- 5 minutes
We got a lot of work to do.
They're poisoning
the blood of our country.
That's what they've done.
They poisoned mental institutions and
prisons all over the world,
[00:00:16]
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.
They're pouring into our country.
Nobody's even looking at them.
They just come in.
[00:00:31]
The crime is gonna be tremendous.
The terrorism is gonna be,
terrorism is going to be.
And then we built a tremendous
piece of the wall.
>> Speaker 2: So, once again, Donald Trump
showing that my predictions that he would
never read a book in his life, not true.
[00:00:47]
He has read some.
They were written by fascists, and he's
using little notes that he took out of
there to sprinkle into his stump speeches.
So, once again, the blood of the nation
will be poisoned by these dirty
foreigners who are coming in,
to make you sick and probably kill you.
[00:01:06]
It's a message that we have
heard from Donald Trump before,
from other fascists before here and
outside of the United States as well.
It is designed to get the followers
of these wannabe dictators to not
see migrants as fully american,
certainly fully human, even.
[00:01:23]
That is the point.
And he knows that because
he's used this line before.
A couple of months ago,
at the time, it was pointed out,
this is just straight Nazi language.
And he chose to use it again.
He liked it so much, by the way, that
he put it up on truth social after that
[00:01:39]
speech, once again, specifically
poisoning the blood of our nation.
And then implying that every migrant comes
from prisons and mental institutions.
Not desperate people fleeing,
in some cases,
the inevitable outcome of American
foreign policy over the past few decades.
[00:01:57]
And so this is who he is.
He knows that it's Nazi language.
He knows that his fans like
that it's Nazi language.
Francesca, what do you make of it?
>> Speaker 3: Yeah,
he's got to one up himself.
I mean, yes, ultimately, he is a Nazi.
He is a white supremacist.
He believes in this language,
but he's Donald Trump, and
[00:02:16]
he knows he's got to compete for
headlines.
And he can't just build the wall, or
Muslim ban again, that stuff's old.
No, we gotta outdo ourselves.
We gotta outfash ourselves.
We gotta take the mask off even more or
put the hood on even tighter.
[00:02:33]
And so you have this kinda language.
And so
it is simultaneously a very real call to
effectively criminalize the mentally ill.
That's super nazi, right?
Criminalize of course, prisoners who
have already been criminalized, but
[00:02:51]
even more so say that these people
are discarded from society.
They don't belong among us, right?
They don't actually believe in,
they're fundamentally backwards, right?
That's part of all of that.
And so he believes all that stuff.
[00:03:06]
But he also knows that this is what, and
again, we should be talking about this,
but this is what mainstream
news is also gonna talk about.
And so he is sort of hitting two
birds with 1st in this case,
and it's terrifying.
We talked about project 2025 on my show,
the Bituation Room recently.
[00:03:24]
And it is, yeah, a heritage foundation,
a right wing think tank, foundation,
think tank that has laid out a plan to
create Trump as a new Caesar, right?
As a dictator.
And he is leaning into
that fully with this.
[00:03:39]
And I don't know, John,
[LAUGH] what else can we say, right?
Here's my question.
I think this is attractive to his
hardcore base, but I think to some,
[00:03:55]
maybe they liked the idea that
it wasn't fully out in the open.
Just like people have been voting for
republicans for many, many decades.
Those who paved the way for this.
>> Speaker 2: I think it
depends on who you talk about.
His base, if they wanted to demonstrate
that they don't like this sort of thing,
[00:04:14]
they've been provided with a few
opportunities over the years.
At this point,
if you're still on the Trump train,
it's cuz you like the stuff
the conductor's barking at you.
And this is what he has been saying, okay?
And it reminds me, I was watching
John Oliver from this weekend.
[00:04:31]
He was talking about Elon Musk, but he was
showing video of Nick Fuentes talking to
some other Nazi or whatever about how
normalized white supremacy has become.
That was focusing on Elon Musk's effect
on it with what he's done to Twitter.
But look at just, this is just Nazi white
supremacist stuff, that's all it is.
[00:04:51]
And we'll get annoyed by it.
Everyone in media,
understandably will get annoyed by it.
We'll talk about it and he'll just keep
doing it because there are no significant,
immediate consequences for it.
The republican party is not
gonna turn against him.
Chris Christie, as we'll show you,
might criticize him then.
[00:05:08]
That's pretty much it.
