Since President Donald Trump’s election victory, the left has cranked up its overheated rhetoric that the president is a “Nazi” – but statistics recently released by the Justice Department show that he’s actually been one of the most successful presidents in prosecuting racist criminals.
And to no surprise for conservatives, he’s been better at it than former President Barack Obama!
Even though he’s been a prosecutorial powerhouse, left-wingers have cranked up comparisons between Trump and Adolf Hitler over the new policy of border enforcement.
MSNBC talk show host Joe Scarborough said that ICE separated families by saying they were taking children for a shower – “just like the Nazis said that they were taking people to the showers, and then they never came back.”
Former CIA chief Michael Hayden compared ICE detention facilities to Auschwitz:

This anti-Trump name-calling has going on for years, from the country’s most elite publications.
Foreign Policy, one of the Establishment’s favorite journals, ran a headline saying, “Donald Trump is a Nazi Sympathizer.”
Even the inventor of Godwin’s Law – that eventually every online argument will end with one side calling the other Hitler – said to “go ahead and refer to Hitler or Nazis when you talk about Trump.”
They might be shocked to know that the Trump administration has been prosecuting neo-Nazis, racists, and other bigots to the full extent of the law – more successfully than Obama did!
One of the hatemongers the Trump administration put the collar on is James Fields Jr., the 21-year-old man who ran over and killed a protester at the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville last August. The Trump administration slapped 30 criminal charges against him and could send him away for a very long time.
Then there are the two neo-Nazis in Ohio who got locked up on Trump’s watch for viciously beating a black man on the street. When they saw an African-American unpacking items from his truck, they tracked him down and beat him with a broom until they broke his eye socket.
“The victim in this case was minding his own business when he was jumped by two racists,” said David Sierleja, a U.S. Attorney in the Trump administration.
It turned out the beating was part of an initiation ritual for a neo-Nazi hate group, so one of the men could “earn” his swastika tattoo. Last April, the two men were sentenced to several years in prison.
“They deserve the prison sentences they received,” Sierleja said.
On the other side of the country, Trump’s legal team prosecuted three men who burned a cross on the lawn of an interracial couple in Port Richey, Florida. The three men got between 21 and 37 months in prison – thanks to the Trump administration.
“Acts of intimidation and violence perpetrated against people because of their race, ethnicity, color, or creed are reprehensible,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Stephen Muldrow. “Individuals and families should have the right to live wherever they choose, without fear.”
The Trump administration even stopped a miniature race war in an East Los Angeles housing project. It charged 8 members of a street gang and sent them to prison for fire-bombing four African-American apartments, because the Big Hazard street gang (a Hispanic gang) considered the building “their territory.”
It’s not just anti-black racists Trump has prosecuted. The Justice Department has won cases for people who beat up or threatened gays and lesbians, Indians – even the weird case of an 18-year-old Israeli kid who phoned in threats to synagogues and Jewish centers.
And Trump prosecuted several people who threatened to blow up mosques or kill Muslims.
While the Hollywood and liberal elite call Trump a Nazi, he’s protecting all Americans – and being more successful at it than his predecessor.
During 2016, the Justice Department charged 27 defendants with hate-motivated crimes, and won 16 convictions. Since Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, the Justice Department has indicted 32 defendants – and convicted every single one.
The president’s critics need to understand that falsely slurring the president as a Nazi lets the real Nazis off the hook – something Trump’s Department of Justice hasn’t done.
“It is hard to think of anything more historically illiterate, and more dangerously cynical, than the casual branding of Trump as Hitler and the widespread hints over the past year — the predictions, even — that his rule would end the same way Hitler’s did: with death camps, presumably, and millions dead, and global war,” wrote Brendan O’Neill in the New York Post.
Trump is prosecuting fascists, MS-13 members, and illegal aliens… and anyone else who deserves to go to a penitentiary except, maybe, the Clintons and the Obamas.
Upholding the law against all lawbreakers protects our country, and we’re stronger because of it.
