Former President Trump's use of the word 'vermin' to describe his political opponents has drawn strong reactions from critics and comparisons to the language used by Nazi Germany. President Biden and his aides condemned Trump's use of the term, likening it to Nazi terminology and stating that it echoes language heard in Nazi Germany in the '30s. Historians and scholars have also compared Trump's language to that of fascist dictators like Hitler and Mussolini. The White House and Biden campaign have both criticized Trump's use of dehumanizing language, emphasizing its unrecognizability to the country's founders but its horrifying recognizability to American veterans who fought against similar ideas in the 1940s.
