I read somewhere that Trump was an Ayn Rand fan. So refreshing after 8 years of Wesley Mouch, James Taggart and crew.
That's pretty bad. Kind of like finding out he likes reading Ragnar Redbeard or anime porn comics.
Trump said of her novel The Fountainhead, “It relates to business (and) beauty (and) life and inner emotions. That book relates to ... everything.” He identified with Howard Roark, the novel’s idealistic protagonist who designs skyscrapers and rages against the establishment.
When I pointed out that The Fountainhead is in a way about the tyranny of groupthink, Trump sat up and said, “That’s what is happening here.” He then recounted a call he received from a liberal journalist: “How does it feel to have done what you have done? I said what have I done. He said nobody ever in the history of this country has done what you have done. And I said, well, if I lose, then no big deal. And he said no, no, if you lose, it doesn’t matter because this will be talked about forever.
“And I said it will be talked about more if I win.”
