'I'm not Hitler': Trump denies he's a Nazi in closing arguments for campaign

Former President Donald Trump insisted that he was "not Hitler" during closing arguments for his 2024 campaign.

At a Wednesday rally in North Carolina, Trump complained that he had been called names by Vice President Kamala Harris and her supporters.

"For the past nine years, Kamala and her party have called us racists, bigots, fascists, deplorables, irredeemables, Nazis, and they've called me Hitler," he said.

Harris has not called Trump a Nazi or compared him to Hitler, but has said he could be considered authoritarian, CNN fact-checkers report.

Trump claimed that his father told him to "never use the word Nazi, and never use the word Hitler."

"Now we're called Nazis, and I'm called Hitler," he complained. "I'm not Hitler."

Trump then suggested that his father might not have gone to heaven because he was "a little rough."

"I told him for years, literally, never use the term Nazi or Hitler," the former president said of his father. "Now they're using it on us, it's unbelievable."

"They've bullied you, they've demeaned us, they've demonized us and censored us and deplatformed us and weaponized the power of our own government against us," he told the crowd before calling journalists in the room "scum."

Melania Trump has also said that her husband is "not Hitler."
