A renowned historian on Thursday accused President Donald Trump’sadministration of attempting to install a “Nazi worldview” in America.
Heather Cox Richardson, historian and author of the Substack “Letters from an American,” discussed how the Trump administration differs from previous presidential administrations in a new interview on Zeteo News with journalist John Harwood. The interview occurred at a time when Trump’s rhetoric had become increasingly dark around topics like immigration and citizenship.
“It is worth looking at two ways to look at human society,” Richardson said. “One is that some people are better than others and have the right to rule, and the other is that we are all created equal and have the right to be treated equally before the law.”
“Both of those strands have run through American history,” she continued. “So, if you are looking at the strand that Donald Trump is trying to put in place now, and in addition to Trump, I would say people like Stephen Miller … Russel Vought … the author of Project 2025. There’s a whole bunch of players in Trump’s inner circle: Kristi Noem … her advisor, Corey Lewandowski, who are trying to put in place what I would call a Nazi worldview.”
“They are taking that idea that some people are better than others … they are trying to turn that strand into something that really harks back to Nazi Germany,” she continued.
