tbf, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never has actually read an entire book. You don’t necessarily need to have read an original source to parrot some of its contents, there’s plenty of other ways.
As fun as it is to dunk on how stupid and demented Trump is, it also serves to downplay the threat he poses and is thus unhelpful at best or disinformation at worst.
I also feel obligated to point out that he wasn’t always as addled and incoherent as he is now – if you go back and watch old interviews from the '80s or whatever, he was, in fact, capable of stringing thoughts together at least.
Now please stop making me appear to defend traitorous assholes!
I don’t know if I’m just easily triggered because of personal experiences, but I don’t understand how anyone can look at him speak and not recognized his unhealthy grandiosity. That guy is not mentally okay and should not be in charge of anything.
Didn’t he supposedly keep a copy of it by his bed at some point? Seems like a weird book to just keep around for decor. Whether he ever finished it is a separate issue, but I think it’s fair to assume he’s at least read parts of it.
It was My New Order (a book of Hitler’s collected speeches) that he supposedly kept by his bed. That’s a separate story from his admission that a friend gave him a copy of Mein Kampf.
In other words, Trump is apparently such a fanboi that he owned multiple books by Hitler!
Yeah it says that thing about the speeches in the article.
But gee, I mean he isn’t waving a Nazi flag and he doesn’t have a toothbrush stache and saying “I totally love Hitler and I am a diehard Nazi” so I, I just don’t know if we have enough evidence to draw a conclusion yet.

Not even his intelligence, that’s the personality of someone who cheated their way through anything that might’ve involved assigned reading.
I think we all know there’s a lot of ways to get out of assigned reading, and it is not a rare phenomenon.
A lot of this probably comes from his advisors. But i imagine those advisors would follow him back into the whitehouse
He’s got some new ones lined up too apparently. I’m sure they’re all “wonderful people”.
“I only hire the best people!”

Yeah, Stephen Miller is still one of his most trusted advisors and sometimes speech writer and you KNOW that creep loves himself some Hitler!
Personally I think the Hitler influence is coming from Trump himself AND Stephen Miller. Probably other advisors too.

/S if it wasn’t obvious.
Replace Mein Kampf with the bible and it still stands! Drink Bleach and his cult have read neither!
Stephen Miller probably read the picture book version to him at beddy-beddy-bed time.
