    Claiming Trump as a racist Hitler, who admires Hitler, and admires Hitler's speeches is false and has been debunked:

    Did Donald Trump Say 'Mein Kampf' Had a 'Profound Effect' on Him? | Snopes.com

    Not only were we unable to locate an original source for this quote, or evidence that Time magazine even interviewed Trump in 2002, but we found no discernible record of its existence before the meme first surfaced in April 2019. Yet it's the kind of statement that would have been quoted ad nauseum in the press had Trump said it. No such references exist.

    Nor were we able to find isolated instances of Trump praising Mein Kampf or Adolf Hitler in public statements. The cadence and grammar of the passage are Trump-like ("... but I do respect him. As a leader. Tremendous respect."), but all indications point to its being fabricated.

    Describing Trump as a racist Hitler is so despicable that only leftist lunatics perpetuate the claim.

    Wow, you wanted people to know this passage?

    So his wife claims that he keeps a copy of Hitler's speeches by their bedside, he claims that a friend gave him a different book from Hitler (Mein Kampf), the friend corrects it to the book his wife says is next to his bed, and he wrongly states that his friend is "a Jew." A proud moment for a Trump supporter, for sure.

    Trump did quote from Mein Kamph. But claims ignorance when using the quote, "poisoning the blood" and Trump said he didn't know the origin. Trump also claims his use was different than Hitler's! Which is laughable, because how can a group "poisoning the blood" of a country have different meanings?

    The linked article also has Trump's first wife's claim that Trump had Hitler notes by his his bedside, and it was a gift from a Jewish friend.

    Not sure if Trump ever read Mein Kamph. But Trump absolutely said, multiple times, illegal immigrants were poisoning the blood of America. And regardless if it was on purpose or accident, you should question it when someone directly quotes Mein Kamph.

    Having proved Trump is NOT a racist Hitler is the wrong hill to die on is a bridge too far for even the wildest left-wing lunatics perpetuating such false claims.

    Every time Donald Trump has invoked Hitler and the Nazis

    Yes, it's crazy to intimate that a candidate that wants to establish "A Unified Reich" might have a Hitler connection.

    It's all proven to be a despicable falsehood. I didn't open the link to the CNN story, but even CNN stooped to the truth and apologized.

    Whatever this leftist Jewish site springs from, it is far from what Jewish people think about Trump. They are not happy with Biden which you are going to find out when Netanyahu speaks to congress.

    Logistical fallacy: Poster does not understand that some anonymous source falsely claiming Trump quoted Mein K. simply proves he hasn't quoted it, not that he is not as racist as Hitler. In fact his own VP pick has drawn the Trump/Hitler picture. His use of racist (Hitler) verbiage is not questioned. His racist quote (above) is on record. Poster can play ostrich at his choosing but most people adhere to the saying "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck".

    Vance wasn't a politician when he said that. Lots of water under the bridge since then. However, if I had known about it then, I would have condemned him for saying it.

    You don't know how far behind the times you are. This has been retracted by Vance too many times to count since 2015 and again in the 2024 RNC. Vance was won over by Trump 45.

    Yes, everything bad Trump has ever done is a falsehood.

    Now when Trump puts you and all the others in line for a kool-aid from a giant vat of the purple stuff, make sure you step away.

    You don't know many Jewish people, do you? Most of us do not like Donald Hitler ... sorry, Adolf Trumpler ... no, that's not it ... ah yes, Donald Trump.

    Fair enough, I don't personally know many Jewish people, but I have read the Jewish Times newspaper often, think that is the name of the newspaper, and they don't agree with you. The paper, the people, and Netanyahu support Trump.

    This brings up questions for you as a Jew. How can you support the democratic leadership that has allowed antisemitism to exist in the US like never before? How can you support an antisemitic president who thinks he has the right to conduct the Israeli war after being attacked by Hamas and then adds not supplying weapons needed to complete the job more quickly and with less loss of life? How can you, a Jew, vote for the democrats? Their mobs could come for you at any time.

    Trump is a despicable human being who has quoted from Mein Kampf and has said and done racist things. That doesn't make him a 'racist Hitler', but it does make him a racist who quotes Hitler. And I bet you love this Hitleresque quote from Trump: “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”. Hitler loved using terms like 'vermin' to describe Jews and others he deemed undesirable.
