To say that former US President Donald Trump is a divisive leader would be an understatement of epic proportions. However, criticism of his previous policies and actions hasnโ€™t made him pivot from them.ย 

In fact, he has doubled down on his rhetoric and called specific groups of people an abominable word- โ€œvermin.โ€ This has shocked the whole world entirely. But who are these people Trump despises?

At a Veterans Day rally held in Claremont, New Hampshire, former US President Donald Trump referred to โ€œthe communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical leftโ€ as โ€œvermin.โ€ His comment has received criticism, as many have said that he is echoing the words of dictators. 

Who Did Trump Refer to as Vermin?

Donald Trump has a long history of referring to his political, legal, or otherwise opponents with eyebrow-raising words. Now, he has used another word from his repertoire- โ€œVermin.โ€ย 

At the 2023 Veterans Day speech held at a rally in Claremont, New Hampshire, he referred to โ€œthe communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical leftโ€ as vermin. The former President shockingly said:

โ€œWe 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 that lie and steal and cheat on elections. Theyโ€™ll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American Dream.โ€

Trump, the wannabe authoritarian, in his Hitleresque Veterans Day speech โ€” promised to root out 'vermin'.

He nailed this part though โ€” โ€œThe threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within.โ€

Basically, he denigrated anyone who didnโ€™t toe his or the GOPโ€™s political line. He also said that the threat from within America is higher than from outside. Trump said:

โ€œThe threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than from within. Our threat is from within. Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, theyโ€™re not going to want to play with us.โ€

Additionally, Trump once again denied the results of the elections that have seen the current US President, Joe Biden, in power at the White House.

Donald Trumpโ€™s shocking word used to classify his political opponents has made many professionals comment that he is using the language of dictators. 

The Washington Post quoted Timothy Naftali, a senior research scholar at Columbia Universityโ€™s School of International and Public Affairs, saying:

โ€œThe language is the language that dictators use to instill fear. When you dehumanize an opponent, you strip them of their constitutional rights to participate securely in a democracy because youโ€™re saying theyโ€™re not human.โ€

Donald Trump is working out of the authoritarian playbook: attacking the rule of law, denying his election losses, legitimizing political violence.

— Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin) November 13, 2023

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University, backed up Naftaliโ€™s words. She explained:

โ€œTrump is also using projection: note that he mentions all kinds of authoritarians โ€˜communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical leftโ€™ to set himself up as the deliverer of freedom. Mussolini promised freedom to his people too and then declared dictatorship.โ€

This is the Trump spokesman who said anyone objecting to Trump calling American citizens, โ€œvermin,โ€ are snowflakes who will be crushed when Trump returns to office. He considers himself a member of the master race, not a refugee from the Island of Broken Toys. pic.twitter.com/2vuzLbY1zk

However, the criticism has unphased the Trump campaign planning to regain the seat of power at next Novemberโ€™s elections. Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump, said:

โ€œThose who try to make that ridiculous assertion are snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.โ€

Trump currently faces 91 charges across four criminal cases. It remains to be seen if he can regain the White House in the next elections.ย 

What do you think of Donald Trumpโ€™s use of choice words to throw at his political opponents? Can he overthrow Joe Biden to become the next US President?
