On Trump and “Mein Kampf”

Trump insists he has never read “Mein Kampf.” For once, I believe him. “Mein Kampf” is a book, after all. Trump doesn’t do books. If you distilled it into a few bullet points–maybe.

The question then is, how did he come up with the “poisoning the blood” and “vermin” phrases? Did he make them up himself? Did he find them on his social media platform, Lying Psycho? Or was he just pick them up when he was hanging with some of his Nazi friends?

I don’t know the answer to that, although I would be leaning towards one of the final two possibilities. Either way, I don’t take any comfort from Trump’s failure to explore the actual source; the phrases speak for themselves.
