Trump is saying he has never read Mein Kampf. This comes as no surprise, for we’ve learned that everybody’s favorite insurrectionist does not like to read and prefers pictures. Maybe he has often viewed Triumph of the Will.

But just because he hasn’t read Hitler’s work does not mean that he has not been influenced by it. I’m sure that Mein Kampf is the book of every month in the darker depths of Trump World. So if Donald hasn’t read this fascist bible, many of his advisers and supporters will have summarized it for him and urged its applicability to American democracy.

Or, maybe Trump did not have to get his Nazism from Mein Kampf, maybe he is a natural born Nazi, an anima naturaliter Naziana.
