Trump Kept Hitlers Speeches by his Bed: Says Only Short Jews Can Count His Money, Not Blacks
Trumps ex-wife says that he used to keep a copy of Hitlers 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 Hitlers 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. Hitlers 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 dont remember, I said.
Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and hes a Jew. (I did give him a book about Hitler, Marty Davis said. But it was My New Order, Hitlers speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but Im 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.
Trumps fascination with Hitler is just one form of his racist actions. In 1991, John ODonnell, a former Trump associate, wrote an exposé entitled Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump. During ODonnells 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 didnt bother to deny it: The stuff ODonnell wrote about me is probably true.

Well...I'd put you on a watch list.
Hillary Clinton braids her armpit hair. And you would only know Joe Biden drinks if you could ever catch him sober.
Unless you simply wish to believe something.
My x wife will tell you I had a speech by Hitler and Satan next to the bed BFD. My X wife was the spoon of HELL so what!
Megyn Kelly just got her opening question for the next debate.
It’s ok, friend. If they are stooping this low in AUGUST of 2015, they have no chance. That’s like pulling the race card on the Fourth of July three years out.
My fellow travelers? I’m not a Trump supporter, but I’m not against him either. Time will tell. And if we wants to win, he and his supporters will have to deal with these things.
Lots of stuff they both share.
Oh my, so I guess I should just throw up my hands and vote for Bush? Oh wait, Bush doesn’t like Asians. Sigh.
I’ve read it and given it as a gift.
Millions of people study and read about Adolf Hitler. Are they all racists?
Yes, you would. Of course we don’t know where the “story” came from. Either way, I’m ok with people who read. Wish some of current elected officials paid more attention to the motivations of our enemies.
Caution: Don’t watch the video - it will boost it through YouTube and a lot of those people on there are suckers are unwilling to inform themselves and will take it at face value.
EXACTLY!!!
Though probably someone else. He needs to handle these things.
Meanwhile, the current president got excited over Saul Alinski at a well known seedy Chicago bathhouse.
OMG!
I read Mein Kampf, too!
Does that make me a Nazi?
I read the Koran.
Does that make me a murdering sandmaggot?
It must be "Loony Tunes" season...
This is the best they can come up with? Really?
I guess.
I can hardly wait to hear about Trump being from Mars.
Barking dogs, and all that fo sho!
I mean hell, if somebody listed every book I ever read it might look a little weird. But I’ll stand by my right to consume any media I think worth the time. And if that hairlips the Pope, the Pope need to grow a pair.
But if Trump has said he hates the Confederate flag, I’m curious which one. Reference please.
