Fun facts about Henry Ford (or as the Nazis called him, Heinrich Ford), who Trump just weirdly praised as having "good blood."

He popularized, worldwide, the anti-semetic conspiracy theory that inspired Nazis. They awarded him medals and Hitler had his portrait in his office.
Trump has believed, for his entire life, in talents flowing through bloodlines, a very, very Nazi-ish philosophy. Talking about bloodlines in reference to Ford is an...odd coincidence.

I'm not saying Trump knew what he was doing, but chances are he knew exactly what he was doing
Hitler told an American newspaper he believed Henry Ford would make an amazing fascist president and signaled his intention and desire to send Nazi stormtroops to make that a reality.

The conspiracy theory Hitler used for power was Ford's doing. A direct line between them.
