    Trump received significant criticism after the original poison the blood statement in October. For him to repeat the line means he knows the significance of those words and is intentionally evoking Hitler.

    Or:

    People clapped when he said the thing, so he kept saying it and they kept clapping, you love to hear it folks. Many Americans are saying it.

    I maintain that he’s fascist Inspector Gadget. Just bumbling from blood to soil to securing a future for our (???) children. While some child with a pocket computer does everything important.

      Right, whether or not he knows it’s a quote from Hitler is debatable, but I’d wager if he knows he doesn’t really care and he only says it because he thinks it makes him look tough. More importantly it gets people talking about him, which is his whole reason for existing.
