The Trump âmigrant crimeâ smear tactic comes straight out of the Nazi playbook. Trump has been pushing this narrative since his 5th day in office. In January 2017, he ordered his new administration to publish weekly lists of crimes committed by migrants â which is exactly what the Nazis did to Jews.
