It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

The dude bragged about how he had mein keimf on his bedstand.

Him and Desantis both studied hitler and wannabe him.

I am not fan of Desantis but never heard he said he was into “Mein Kampf”. Where did you learn if this?

Not of the book. But I heard he studied history in college, and basically he is basically using the same playbook pre-WW2 nazi germany was doing.

yeah.

though it was probably the picture version for the hitler youth kids.
