Rump's Light Bedtime Reading


A chilling, but not terribly surprising, item in Mother Jones that surfaced from neo-fascist demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump's messy divorce from first wife Ivana, which was originally reported in a Vanity Fair story in 1990:
"Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed." (emphasis added)
Rump's narcissism, bigotry and dishonesty has been on public display for years. Politically, his authoritarian profile fits with the likes of Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other dictators past and present. In his run for the Presidency, he's woven all of those toxic ingredients into his political persona, and it should set off alarms to anyone with a brain or a pulse.
