Yes.
Literally Hitler.
‘My New Order’, a collection of Hitler’s speeches up through 1939.
Trump kept it in his bedside table in the 80s and 90s, according to his then wife.
Did people not know about this or forget this?
Trump literally routinely read Hitler’s speeches before he went to bed for years, then got very defensive when asked about it.
Lefties who were politically active during Trump’s 2015 campaign were… fairly concerned about this, and basically everyone to the right of them just screamed ‘You’re just calling him a fascist because everything you don’t like is fascist’ at us.
Did this whole thing seriously get memory holed this hard that you genuinely didn’t know this?
Or are you just younger and/or weren’t so politically involved a decade ago?
thanks i didnt know this. i kinda got the cibes that this was the case, but had never heard of that until now. not something they taught us in school. im not necessarily “younger” but i was very disconnected for a long time between no phone, couch surfing punk houses, hobo life, then just living in rural New Mexico until like 7 years ago.
