http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-adolf-hitler-books-bedside-cabinet-ex-wife-ivana-trump-vanity-fair-1990-a7639041.htmlDonald Trump reportedly owned a copy of Adolf Hitlers speeches and kept them in his bedside cabinet.
A 1990 Vanity Fair article about billionaire businessman stated that Mr Trumps then wife Ivana, said her husband owned a copy of My New Order a printed collection of the Nazi leaders speeches.
Marie Brenner, the articles author, wrote: Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, 'My New Order', which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.

Mr Trump, however, denied he would ever read speeches given by Hitler, saying: If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
************
People like Bannon, Gorka,and Miller really do reflect Trump's thinkings. Trump has read some of the
most racist and anti-sematic crap out there. The picture he or his campaign posted of Hillary Clinton
with the Star of David and money behind her came from a web site that also had the famous picture
of a Jewish woman holding her child as a nazi soldier shoots both of them with vile comments
underneath it was part of Trump or his inner circles's readings.

(6,839 posts)1. I continue to wonder why this story has never received any traction. I recall reading
it during the primaries, but media completely ignored it.
This is a significant insight into trump's crazy world outlook.

But I'm sure Trump discovered the campaign slogan by himself

That if he in fact had those speeches, his own vocabulary only reaches todler level...

He was rather well spoken in the 80s/90s.

Just search it for "Hitler" to skip the other sturm und drang.
