Trump says he never read Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'
ABC ^ | 12/20/2023

Posted on 12/20/2023 6:59:52 AM PST by Lazamataz

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday night at a campaign stop in Iowa that he has not read "Mein Kampf," the manifesto written by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Trump made the statement following recent criticism comparing his words over undocumented immigrants to those used by Hitler in the lead-up to World War II.

While he distanced himself from the controversial book, Trump doubled down on his previous comments about undocumented immigrants.

"They're destroying the blood of our country," Trump said about the waves of migrants who have crossed the border. "They're ruining our country. And it's true they're destroying the blood of our country. That's what they're doing. They're destroying our country."

Mein Kompf is required reading in the Mooselimb Brotherhood and a best seller in the ME. Which Party is hunting Jews?

As small counterpoint to this, I have read:

-- Mein Kampf, to be informed of the insanity of it. Did not convince me to be a National Socialists.

-- The Communist Manifesto, to be informed of the lunacy of it. Did not convince me to be a Communist.

--The Koran (choosing the old transliteration just because), and learned about how radical Muslims read it through abrogated verses, and also many hadiths, all to better understand our enemy, an enemy to Western and Eastern civilizations alike. Did not convince me to be a Muslim.

-- Our "Founding Fathers," and this convinced and convinces me every day that liberty and our inalienable rights coming from God (not the State).

The media trying to paint Trump as Hitler are using the tactics directly from Goebbels, as from Marx, as from the "shaitan" which is at the center of Islam. That we would put America first is an anathema to such as read some of the above and "believe" in anything other than liberty.

Not all have the time or inclination to fully read such as the above. That is understandable. But such as the above should be regularly identified as daggers aimed at freedom.

God's ultimate gift is life and liberty. And peace to "men of goodwill."

Best wishes.

—-> Trump needs a team and discipline to catch things like this before he opens his mouth as surely good political operatives would have recognized this. An unforced error.

Exactly wrong take I think.

Trump has again pulled the football away as DeSanctus and Donor Barbie try to gain final traction in Iowa and NH.

The only messaging they will be allowed to put forth is what they think of Trump’s statement.

And he is correct.

Mein Kampf is full of hooey, except for its last page.

A friend of mine in grad school had a copy of ‘Mein Kampf’ I read maybe half of the book and figured I had the gist of what motivated the madman and his movement.

That said, I give not one rat’s ass if DJT Trump read the book or not. Their are legitimate reasons for understanding the way the lunatic mind works, and many academics and other well-read individuals do not have to defend what they choose to read.

I have been a big reader of WWII books, trying to understand how the world got to such an ugly war.

As for Trump the soon-to-be-tyrant they are warning us about, everything they describe that he might do, Biden has already done and is currently doing.

Trump the destroyer is who I wish to elect! Sorry Colorado, I will not be denied!

"....and I just literally found.....
Donald Trump Used to Get Nazi Greeting at Work: Ivana"

I was doing research in old Upstate NY newspapers and came across a photo of young children in a classroom saluting the American flag. Guess what gesture they used. It wasn't hand over heart.

Wish I had saved the photo or at least remembered the year.

If more people had read Mein Kampf in the 1930s, Hitler wouldn’t have gotten away with what he did.

He said in that book everything he was going to do.

I've read Mein Kampf. For college. I did not find it persuasive, nor was I expected to.

I've also read numerous works by Karl Marx. So?

The Trump == Hitler meme is ideological prep for assassination, not an attempt to turn Trump supporters.

How can you tell a Communist: He reads Marx and Lenin.
How can you tell an Anti-Communist: He understands Marx and Lenin.
