Trump wants to encourage women to have more children (and seems to be inspired by Hitler)

As Trump prepares to sign a series of executive orders to promote marriage and the birth rate, he’s drawing on proposals from Project 2025, a plan he publicly distanced himself from on the campaign trail, but which now guides all his policies.

The Trump administration is assessing ways to persuade women in the U.S. to have more children, as a movement grows on the right to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values. Some pitched ideas include cash baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes. nyti.ms/4jh3UAR

Trump, following Project 2025, intends to make the fight against demographic decline a priority, valuing conservative family principles and asserting his desire to “restore the family as the heart of American life”.

But among the measures Trump plans to implement soon, one in particular stands out: it appears to be inspired by a program instituted by Hitler in the 1930s to stimulate the birth rate.

With the aim of provoking a “baby boom”, Donald Trump is reportedly considering a series of measures described as pro-natalist.

Among them: a $5,000 bonus for each married mother after giving birth, as a way of promoting both births and marriage, as well as scholarships and educational programs on the menstrual cycle.

Trump has also reportedly received a draft presidential decree submitted by pro-natalist activist Simone Collins, proposing the creation of a National Medal of Motherhood for women who have given birth to six or more children…

Several observers point out that this type of award is strongly reminiscent of a program set up by Hitler in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

It’s also quite The Handmaid’s Tale territory…
