Donald Trump Steps Up Anti-Immigration Rhetoric With Baseless Claim Against Joe Biden
Ahead of today's Super Tuesday, Donald Trump is once again using the border issue to scare his conservative majority-white base and is using those fears to spread baseless claims against his Democratic rival, US President Joe Biden.
Without showing any evidence, the former president claimed that the man who defeated him in 2020 is waging a "conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America." This came after Biden cast Trump as a threat to democracy, citing his leading an insurrection so he could stay in power, as well as his openly espousing dictatorial policies such as going after political opponents even though they do not have much evidence to present.
Trump then called Biden "the real threat to democracy" and alleged that he is responsible for the indictments that the former president is facing right now. The former president also did not present any evidence that Biden was behind his legal battles, but he did baselessly accuse his rival again by claiming, "Every day Joe Biden is giving aid and comfort to foreign enemies of the United States."
"Biden's conduct on our border is by any definition a conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America," he added. "Biden and his accomplices want to collapse the American system, nullify the will of the actual American voters, and establish a new base of power that gives them control for generations."
As the Associated Press pointed out, Trump is once again promoting white supremacist narratives. On this one, he is promoting the "great replacement" theory, where white supremacists believe that the influx of non-whites to the US will replace Caucasians as the dominant race in the country. Trump and other far-right Republicans have long pushed this baseless theory to scare their base that liberals are trying "to systematically diminish the influence of white people."
Trump once again leaned on this theory during a rally in Virginia, telling the crowd, "They're trying to sign them up to get them to vote in the next election."
Donald Trump Continues Fearmongering and Anti-Immigration Rhetoric With More Wild Claims
With more and more nationalities coming into the border, Trump has also leaned in on his base's fear of people not speaking English. He is now claiming that immigrants are bringing in languages "nobody" has even heard of.

"We have languages coming into our country. We don't have one instructor in our entire nation that can speak that language," he claimed. "These are languages - it's the craziest thing - they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It's a very horrible thing."
These claims are once again baseless, with NBC News noting that "Trump's warnings about words add to a pattern of stoking fear around migrants coming into the US."
Fox News Hosts Get Mad After Being Reminded Donald Trump Had Dinner With Avowed Nazi
Since his rise in the political right, Donald Trump has become more and more popular with the neo-Nazi and White Supremacist crowd. During a discussion about "Saturday Night Live's" cold open that mocked Biden, shot back at the claims of Fox News host Tammy Bruce that Biden is losing support by pointing out Trump is not looking too well either.
"I would say this, I would rather have a president who maybe has a stutter once in a while than one who spews conspiracy theories, racist nonsense, and has dinner with Nazis," Democratic strategist Jonathan Kott said in the Fox News panel discussion, "If given the choice between one or the other, I'm happy Joe Biden might misspeak once in a while when he's trying to name a president of a foreign country."
This seems to have triggered the conservatives in the discussion, with Bruce shooting back, saying, "Well, we just heard him call a number of Republicans Nazis and racists. So I think we can put him in the category of willing to go there." However, Kott replied that he did not call Republicans Nazis but rather correctly stated that Trump "had dinner with a Nazi."
He is talking about that time Donald Trump had dinner with infamous neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.
