Oh. Btw, what would your reaction be if someone told you trump is not a fascist?

Oh, I saw you debating someone on that. I'm not too hung up over words. I mean, it's clear that Trump is a racist with authoritarian impulses (which he's too incompetent to effect). You can call it what you like: fascism, proto-fascism, authoritarianism.

To put a finer point on it, my argument was that you cannot state definitively as that writer did, that Trump is "not" a fascist.

Ivana said he kept a book of Hitler speeches by their bedside but maybe that's just her Sly humor.

I think that was in a fact checked article for Vanity Fair, so there's every reason to think it's true. Didn't Trump confirm it?

I don't think he did.

I suppose there's no evidence that he actually read the book or any other book for that matter.

Yeah, that's actually the part where I disagree with Ivana. I seriously doubt if he read too far in the book. And Trump's racism isn't really the Nazi biological type but standard and banal American bigotry.

He's talked a little too much about bloodlines for me to be totally convinced about that.

Yeah, he has some of that. But that's also pretty American! I mean eugenics was huge. Trump's dad was very likely in Klan, so that's where Trump got it, not from reading Hitler.

If the book was a gift from someone then that also takes some of the onus off of him.
