    I highly recommend actually reading “Mein Kampf”. After the opening paragraph we should talk again about Hitlers intelligence.

    That man was an absolute buffoon, but he was highly intelligent in a social sense of the word. Not entirely unlike Trump.

      You make a good point.

      Trump is one of the dumbest men on the planet. However, he has clearly stumbled onto a disturbing social skill…Just like Hitler (who was also known to be an idiot).

      I actually read the full article on this one. There are a lot of good points and similarities. Did he study Hitler’s speeches? I doubt Mr. “Nuke the storm” or “inject bleach” is capable of studying. I think it’s much more likely that he either blindly stumbled into the same success or learned a few tidbits from what he heard.

      I differentiate ‘learn’ and ‘study’, the same way I might pick up a few words words from vacation abroad, vs cracking open a text book. “Fake news” probably comes up in a Hitler speech as much as bano and cerveza do on a vacation in Mexico.
