Trump Kept Hitler’s Speeches by his Bed: Says Only Short Jews Can Count His Money, Not Blacks
Trump’s ex-wife says that he used to keep a copy of Hitler’s speeches by his bed. That information can go a long way to understand why Donald Trump has refused to address or even acknowledge the problem of racist sentiments within his followers.
From Vanity Fair:
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, 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. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveals his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew. (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”
Trump’s fascination with Hitler is just one form of his racist actions. In 1991, John O’Donnell, a former Trump associate, wrote an exposé entitled Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump. During O’Donnell’s tenure as president of the Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump told him that he hates “black guys counting my money!” He added that “the only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” To Trump, “laziness is a trait in blacks.” Several years later, Trump didn’t bother to deny it: “The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”

Which is why I mentioned it.
Frankly I am not that impressed with Hillary or Biden; their debating skills are lacking, she is completely flatfooted, staged, and manipulated and if she goes off-script - you will see a Hindenburg.
Ring of Fire? Oh you mean that communist would-be network that completely sucks ass?
TRUMP Quote on Hitler.........I’m going to come up with the best way of discriminating against a large group of people, believe you me, and this guy Hitler, he had some good ideas, but he didn’t go far enough, let’s make America great again,....... Trump said to a surprising number of applause from the crowd.
Trump said he had leafed through his old first edition copy of Mein Kampf and admitted it was a great read, with a wealth of great information and arguments.....
Further TRUMP states.....“I mean, the guy was a socialist let’s not forget that, but he had one, maybe two good ideas, he went on to tattoo large groups of troublesome people and rounded them up in prisons and camps, this is what we have to do,â€
Didn’t Patton read Rommel’s book before going to N. Africa ?
Why yes, he did.
No lawsuits yet. Draw your own conclusions.
Keep a low profile.
What does keep a low profile mean?
Are you talking about Facebook?
A silhouette?
A COBOL program?
