Critics Blast Trump's 'Good Genes' Rally Call As A Chilling Echo Of Hitler's Eugenics

Critics continue to tear into US President Donald Trump s shocking praise for Minnesotas good genes as chillingly reminiscent of Adolf Hitlers murderous eugenics policy.

Holocaust historian Steve Silberman on Sunday called Trumps determination of who possesses worthy genes indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated.

A spokesperson for the progressive Jewish advocacy organisation J Street told HuffPost on Monday: Again and again, President Trump and his allies publicly, gleefully embrace incredibly dangerous white nationalist tropes and ideas.

Its clear the presidents far-right worldview poses an unprecedented threat to refugees, immigrants and vulnerable minorities in this country one of the many reasons why he faces vehement opposition from the large majority of American Jewish voters, said J Street communications director Logan Bayroff.

Trump last week pointedly praised Minnesotans genes at a campaign rally in a state thats 84% white and where German and Scandinavian ancestry dominates .

In the same speech, he mocked refugees and attacked three Democratic congresswomen of colour: New Yorks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Michigans Rashida Tlaib and Minnesotas Ilhan Omar .

You have good genes, you know that, right? Trump told the crowd of overwhelmingly white supporters Friday. A lot of it is about the genes, isnt it, dont you believe? he added. The racehorse theory. You think were so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.

The racehorse theory of genetics holds that some human beings are born genetically superior to others.

Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, characterised Trumps remarks as eugenics basing a human beings worth on genes. It was used by Nazis to justify genocide, she tweeted. Today, its used by white nationalists & apparently the @POTUS to justify hate.

Again, Trump speaks about having \"good genes.\" He mentioned the \"racehorse theory\" and coupled it with a racist rant against refugees.

This is eugenics. It was used by Nazis to justify genocide. Today, it's used by white nationalists - & apparently the @POTUS - to justify hate. https://t.co/UpLDnGUW3x

Silberman, whose book NeuroTribes includes an examination of the killing of disabled children by the Nazis , also linked Trumps speech to Nazi rhetoric. He added: This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us.

As a historian who has written about the Holocaust, I'll say bluntly: This is indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated. This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us. https://t.co/CHMLg804mp

As a historian who has written about the Holocaust, I'll say bluntly: This is indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated. This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us. https://t.co/CHMLg804mp

Trump believes in the racehorse theory for humans and is convinced that he was destined to be a leader because of his own superior genes, according to one of his biographers, Michael DAntonio. Trump doesnt believe he needs to study or read or consult with experts because he already has the knowledge he requires and has an innate ability to instinctively know what to do , he told The Washington Post in 2016.

Barack Obama is a different story, however, according to Trump. He told DAntonio that an understanding of human relationships is not in the former presidents DNA.

Trump complimented British business leaders in 2018 on their great bloodlines and amazing DNA, Business Insider reported.

Earlier this year, Trump sparked a major controversy when he praised notorious anti-Semite Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Co., as having good bloodlines .
