'Wannabe Nazi without the organizational skills': Trump leveled for controversial comment
Remarks made by Donald Trump on Thursday, where he attacked immigrants once more and smeared Jews who refuse to vote for him, drew condemnation on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" early Friday morning.
According to one MSNBC regular, Trump came off sounding like a "wannabe Nazi."
In clips that began the segment, the former president promised to bring back the travel ban which could keep out "people from infested countries" before later adding that Jews would bear the blame if he loses in November.

That led MSNBC host Willie Geist to prompt guest Anand Giridharadas with, "What are you hearing in the comments from Donald Trump?"
"I hear a wannabe Nazi without the organizational skills, you know?" Giridharadas shot back. "I hear someone who is literally reclaiming language from the 1930s and 1940s in Germany: 'Vermin infestation.' This is the language of someone who is not just trying to win an election, although they are trying to do that, this is the language of someone who is trying to build a pretext for what he might do if in office."
"He's talked about deporting millions and millions of people on the scale that would require 24/7 train cars and buses, camps, to use another mid-20th century word," he added.
"But also, I think — and the example of the Haitian community in Springfield illustrates this — someone who is using a modern media environment to spread information, put out lies, that will then possibly inspire other people, private actors, to do things in their own name, with deniability for Donald Trump," he predicted.
"Because once you're telling millions and millions of people that there's vermin around, there's infestation, they're taking over the country, there's a replacement scheme scam happening, violence will happen," he warned.
