    A Vanity Fair interview with Donald Trump’s late first wife Ivana Trump has resurfaced in which she alleges that her former spouse used to keep a book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches in his bedside cabinet.
    The article from September 1990 has reappeared in the wake of the Republican presidential contender coming under fire for saying that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” in a speech at a New Hampshire rally on Saturday.
    The 1990 feature, written by Marie Brenner, recounts: “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.

    “Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi?” the article reads.
    “Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler’s speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler’s genius at propaganda.”
    Elsewhere in the piece, Ms Brenner quoted Ivana as saying that a friend of Mr Trump’s “clicks his heels and says, ‘Heil Hitler,’ possibly as a family joke” whenever he visits him in his office.

    A rather interesting article which shines a light on the mindset of Donald Trump.
    A man who has been fascinated with Hitler for several decades.
    This interview explains alot.
    At least the voting public now has some idea of where Trump get his "ad lib material" when he goes off-script while parroting one of those ridiculous Stephen "Goebbels" Miller Propaganda Speeches.
    Is Trump really a Crypto-Nazi?
    Or does he just play one at his rallies?

    I just always assumed those little nuggets were written by Stephen Miller.

    You have to give trump that. He is a master at propaganda.

    He has convinced his base that he was a great president despite adding 1/3rd of all debt to the United States, manipulating the financial markets to prop up a low GDP growth, massive wealth transfers to the wealthy, existing the agreements to prevent Iran from obtaining nukes, disastrous trade wars, massive inflation following the wake of his one term and removing healthcare from millions of women and children across the nation.

    But he hates all the same people so they love him.

    Steve Bannon and Steven Miller likely collaborated on the neo Nazi strategy. After all, it has worked for El Duce and Adolf.

    He is a master at copy-catting Hitler propaganda tactics in US.

    Oh here we go again. It's a book , one of many, that he kept in a cabinet by his nightstand like most old people do.

    Man the desperation of team Biden is getting pretty pathetic.

    One must admit.
    The comparisons between Trump and Hitler are obvious and easy to come by:

    How is a 33 year old article a current event? It might cause a left wing circle jerk, but it’s certainly not a current event.

    I don’t believe it. Sounds like a jaded woman badmouthing her ex.

    Anyway, who believes trump would read anything? At least anything cerebral?

    Peanuts comic strips maybe. But Hitler? Or any book that wasn’t primarily pictures? It stretches credibility.

    Just to add maybe some perspective....or not??!!

    There are many public reports that Agent Orange was and is obsessed with bloodlines and gene pools. His Dad may have been too, so, Adolf certainly was.

    When I look at these pictures it's incredible that anyone would follow either of these jadrools (Italian - loser, bum). One with wild eyes and a Charlie Chaplin mustache and the other with a cotton candy comb over that slurs his words and can't read a teleprompter; "furniture of our children". :roll:

    When I was a child in the 50's adults were still confounded that Germans, a people know as leaders of technology followed a maniac that started a World War. Hitler is still the most dangerous leader the world ever saw, causing more deaths than anyone before or since; and tRaitor tRump is chomping at the bit to overtake his place in history. Many of my countrymen see him as the savior of the Untied States even after he did his worst to destroy it. :shock:

    Huh. Trump is Hitler. What a novel campaign strategy.

    Afraid there's a chance Biden can't stand against Trump just on policy alone? Well, I guess those fears are justified. Continue on with Emmanuel Goldstein v "The Big Guy" I don't think it will work...

    Of course this comes out when Ivana is dead and can't confirm anything. Nevertheless, this is what JFK thought of Hitler in his diary:

    "Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived". "He had in him the stuff of which legends are made," he continued. Kennedy wrote the entry in the summer of 1945 after touring the German dictator's Bavarian mountain retreat.

    I've been going to gun shows for decades and always see Hitler paraphernalia at display booths like Mein Kamph.

    If you plan to be President of the United States and the book you keep close is one with Hitler's speeches AND you keep repeating Hitler's talking points in your own speeches.. .YES! Scary as HELL!

    Do you think President Biden is the only one that's taken an unflattering picture?

    These Hitler parrots, so confident that they are parroting for the side of good against evil. They are truly the ideal Komsomolets.

    Though, I'd like to comfort those concerned with the idea that perhaps history is repeating with in the knowledge that our population is still armed.

    Of course you doubt anything derogatory about tRaitor tRump and go a step further and try to rationalize it. :wtf:

    Let's get serious.

    Trump isn't campaigning on any policy.

    The border, getting back at liberals, elections are rigged, placing people of his own at the DOJ to shut down media.....

    Nothing else.

    No economic plan, nothing to replace Obamacare which he claims is disastrous, nothing on abortion, nothing in terms of international policy.... other than the fact that Xi, Kim and Putin are people he admires.

    Oh, and I forgot, he's finally going to get rid of the Deep State.... because he didn't have enough time last time.

    Hitler IS one of the most significant figures who ever lived. But that doesn't mean he admired him. Kennedy certainly did NOT. And he most assuredly NEVER used Hitler's talking points in his speeches.

    Trump will ALSO go down in American History as one of the most significan figures in this country. For all the bad reasons!

    Look... Trump is not Hitler. He may be every bit as much a psycho, but he would never do anything even close to what Hitler did. But it's obvious that Trump DID admire the dictator.
