So what? I read parts in a World History. The “Trump as dictator” radical Progressive mantra is getting stale. To bring this chesnut back up is an illustration of how frustrated you are. Trump is wining in the polls and in the courts. Your “Stop Trump” campaign is failing.
^ That there are those still supporting a man who tried to overthrow his government, who has 91 criminal indictments relating to the same actions as well as taking government documents illegally, that professes admiration for authoritarian leaders and wants to emulate these practices in the U.S., that has treated women as if they were simply objects of his desires, who was rated one of the worst presidents ever shows how little he/she/it views the U.S.
I don’t know. This may be one of the few times I believe the orangster. From the man who led Infrastructure Week, I cannot see him having the discipline to read a book, listen to a book on tape, or teach is crappy kid to read.
Even Hitler himself admitted, privately, that he could not define what National Socialsm is. I tried to read Mein Kampf during the Seventies, but did not get very far. Very difficult to read, as it was never edited and smoothened out for easier comprehension. Many , MANY passages comprised sentences a whole page long! Poorly punctuated. Could not compose a proper paragraph. Rudolph Hess merely wrote down everything as he said it, and it went to the printers in that raw form. Get ready folks, he very well may be our next “Leader”!
I completely believe trump never read Mein Kampf. After all, when he was President, the National Security Briefing had to be done with Sock-Puppets so the orange idiot could follow along. An audio book is just about his speed.
My father (bless his soul), refused to let me read Mein Kampf. When I persisted (I was 10), he tossed it in the wood stove – and my father’s blood usually came to a rolling boil at the thought of destroying a book.
An adroit misdirection. Virtually no one has read Mein Kampf, since it is unreadable except to the most dedicated scholars or Nazis. However, that’s not what #45 was accused of. He had Hitler speeches he studied, according to his late ex-wife and current golf-course write-off Ivana.
Then his assertion that “my statement about blood was totally different” was simply a lie. It wasn’t, he knows it.
As a lifelong scholar on military history – with a particular interest in WWII – I >tried< to read it. Yet – in countless attempts over decades – I couldn’t get through it – it’s vile, ranting, incoherent rantings. I’ve instead focused on the many fine interpretations of it, by scholars far advance from me.I’d speculate that tRump HASN’T read it (he can’t even read a cereal box) – yet has rabidly embraced the numberless disgusting and destructive philosophies outlined in it (this seems to be a trait of most republiQans…).
He’s not real bright, but he’s not stupid either, but I’d be surprised if he has ever had the attention span or intellectual acuity to read or understand even a small portion of that book. There is a fair chance he would at least listen to the speeches though, if only for ideas.

I doubt he has the ability to listen for that long either. He wants (and then emits) sound bites.

It was the speeches he read, not Mein Kampf.

Trump’s claim is a variant of “I never even met [any person he wants his followers to forget].”

Vold… Trump’s belief in the superiority of pure-blood wizards stemmed from his deep-seated prejudices and desire for power.

Lindell made Trump a special pillow with a built-in tape player, so his subconscious can listen to the Führer’s speeches all night long.

So if he listened to the audio book it means he did not lie. Remember he told us he is a “GENIUS”.
