"Trump, whose administration was staunchly pro-Israel, affirmed that he was “firmly in Israel’s camp,” as host Brian Kilmeade put it, and said he supports Israel’s ongoing offensive on Gaza, which has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians. “You have to finish the problem,” the former president said."
"Turning to domestic policy, Trump rehashed many of his long-standing claims on immigration, including that migrants are “poisoning” America. “People are coming from jails and prisons, and mental institutions and insane asylums, and there are terrorists,” he said of undocumented migrants crossing the southern border into the United States. “What they are doing to our country is incredible; they are poisoning our country. And we’re going to close the border and deport the people; we’re going to get them out.”"
"As previously reported by Rolling Stone, Trump has basked in criticism of his rhetoric on immigration and privately vowed to take things even further. “The [former] president said he’s going to keep doing it, he’s going to keep saying they’re poisoning the blood of the nation and destroying and killing the country … He says it’s a ‘great line,’” one source said in December."

"At a recent rally, former President Donald Trump used language in a speech that echoed Adolf Hitler, comparing his political opponents to "vermin."
"We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country," he told a New Hampshire crowd.
There were other nods to authoritarianism in the speech. Trump praised Hungary's strongman leader: "The head of Hungary – very tough, strong guy – Viktor Orban," Trump told the audience, adding approvingly, "He didn't allow millions of people to invade his country.""

"All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning," Hitler wrote.
"He poisons the blood of others but preserves his own blood unadulterated," Hitler wrote of Jewish males allowing Jewish females to marry white Christians.
"Whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race, the result has been the downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a higher culture," he wrote in another passage.

When Biden starts getting his speeches from Mein Kampf, then and only then will you have a point.
Biden is literally facilitating genocide. I'm not sure why you think Biden's words are so important when his actions are on display.
Sure is, it's awful. I don't disagree.
Biden is peddling some bullshit on this issue, but facilitation will always be better than outright encouragement for full elimination of Palestinians.
And under Biden's america. the U.S. isn't genociding anybody in the U.S., Trump seems keen on changing that.
No, actually. Providing the actual bombs to do the genocide is worse than mere words of encouragement.
Trump has no plans to kill people en mass in the U.S. Now you're just inventing things.

Hitler only started with deportations.

Fascism doesn't announce it is planning on genociding people until it's already in full swing, and even then they do the apologist routine.
Meanwhile Trump is promising mass deportation. He's not going to stop there.
