Donald Trump has said he never read Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and did not quote the Nazi dictator when he said illegal immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country.”

In a presidential rally in Iowa on Tuesday, the Republican presidential hopeful also said: “They don’t like it when I said that,” and he went on: “I never read Mein Kampf. They said, ‘Oh, Hitler said that’ — in a much different way.”

Last week, Trump told The National Pulse, a conservative webcast, that immigrants on the southern border “is a very sad thing for our country.”

He said: “It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have.”
