During a speech today, former President Donald Trump claimed that migrants in the U.S. who commit crimes like murder are genetically predisposed to violence, stating, “it’s in their genes.” He added, “there are a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
His comments sparked outrage, with many accusing him of promoting racist and pseudoscientific beliefs with echoes of Adolf Hitler.
But Trump wasn’t done.
He is now pushing a groundbreaking new initiative: a nationwide gene-testing program targeting newborns, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds, to preemptively arrest “ethnic babies” suspected of carrying – what he calls – “bad DNA.”
“We’re not just talking about any babies. We’re talking about the ones with bad DNA,” Trump grinned. “Everyone knows where the problems come from. It’s time to do something.”
Under the plan, hospitals will be required to conduct DNA tests on all newborns. Babies who fail the “patriotic gene test” will be taken away to Trump’s new detention centers, which he’s dubbed “Tiny Guantanamos,” where they will be put to work and kept until they can prove their loyalty to America.
“The ethnic babies tend to have more criminal genes—we know this. Why wait until they become criminals? We’re just saving future taxpayers the trouble,” Trump explained, adding that his campaign had already begun testing a pilot program in “certain neighborhoods” during his previous presidency.
Trump added that babies from Scandinavian countries would be automatically exempt from testing, claiming, “They have great genes—very clean, very hardworking. But we’ll be keeping a close eye on the others.”
Critics were quick to label the plan as a return to eugenics, but Trump’s supporters, unfazed, praised the move as “tough on crime.”
“Finally, someone is doing something about the ethnic problem,” said one supporter, adding, “I don’t want to wait around until these bad genes turn into bad people.”
“We’re making America great again, right down to the lowest level, the DNA level, where God picks winners and losers. The ethnic lefty babies are gonna hate it, but real Americans will love it,” Trump concluded.
