Of all the crazy revelations about Donald Trump, arguably the one that seems most alarming, is that he has a fondness for reading Hitler speeches. Now the charge was made by his first wife Ivana relating to his divorce proceedings, but when asked about it, Trump's denial was less than reassuring:
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, reveal 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." Now lots of ordinary people read Hitler for valid reasons, such as innocent historical fascination. But it seems particularly strange in light of Trump's bizarre refusal to denounce David Duke, even as he apparently lies about knowing about the former KKK grand wizard.

So, a knowledge of history is now grounds for excluding a candidate?
Yeah, so?
I have a copy of Mein Kampf. If you want to know about political manipulation, you read what a master manipulator has to say. If you want to learn about guerrilla war, you read Mao and General Giap.

Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, is Jewish.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanka_Trump#Religion_and_spirituality
In July 2009, after studying with Rabbi Elie Weinstock from the Modern Orthodox Ramaz School, Trump had an Orthodox conversion to Judaism and took the name Yael. She attests to keeping a kosher diet and observing the Jewish Sabbath, saying in 2015: “We’re pretty observant... It’s been such a great life decision for me... I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity. From Friday to Saturday we don’t do anything but hang out with one another. We don’t make phone calls.”
I’ve noticed a whole flock of people, Kristol, Kruthammer, Goldberg, Goldstein, etc., all trying out for the role of Joseph Goebbels, with their foaming and frothing big lie routines.
“All Depends on Me”
That’s right, anyone critical of Trump is Establishment!
Buy oh boy, the GOPe is not only ratifying the common liberal chant that it’s “the party of stupid” but it’s going for oak clusters and extra merit badges here.
Quite frankly; only a Machiavellian bunch of greedy pigs would abase themselves so blatantly to keep their positions at the trough. Hopefully we retreat from my full-on disgust threshold after S-Tuesday.
I think that's worse!
Trump? Knowledge of history? Surely you jest.
Actually, yes. You don't get out much, do you? Is there any aspect of what now passes for the establishment that you think is operating well, or even properly? I'm all ears.
Hillary reads “Eva Braun’s Beauty Secrets.”
Bonfire of the inanities.
Ivanka’s husband is Jewish and so Trump has Jewish grandkids too. He’s such a Hitler, ehehehhe. Heil! (’
CBS is reporting that Trump burns bibles......hits his children.
Are we really supposed to sit here and believe Trump is a Nazi, White Supremacist? This sort of nonsense is old and tired.
Look folks, unlike most politicians, who most americans have never heard of Trump has been in the public eye for 30+ years or so, he’s come into their living room weekly for the last 10.. while you can throw some stupid thing out against someone folks don’t know and repeated it enough to stick because they don’t know the person, you can’t do it to someone who the public already has an opinion of, and what’s more isn’t going to back down when you toss the grenade but fight back.
This gotcha nonsense has failed every time with Trump and will keep failing... if you don’t have an legitimate HEAD SHOT that is undeniably going to kill Trump, you have nothing.
I’m sure the MSM will be reporting Trump has been hiding Josef Menegele under his bed all this time too.
Created my tagline just for threads like this.
