Donald Trump: The comeback huckster
Washington Post ^ | April 18, 2011 | Richard Cohen

Posted on 04/19/2011 6:23:39 AM PDT by libstripper

Back in 1990, Ivana Trump told her divorce lawyer Michael Kennedy that “from time to time, her husband [Donald Trump] reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, ‘My New Order,’ which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.” This information, which comes from a startling 1990 Vanity Fair profile of Trump, certainly does not prove that he is anti-Semitic (a daughter recently converted to Judaism) and is cited here just because, as with so much about Trump, it makes no sense at all. It is just another grenade that comes rolling out of the profile — yet another detail about Trump that is just plain weird, sordid, compellingly interesting and, upon reflection, terrifying. Nothing stops the man.

Nice to see that Cohen doesn't like the Donald; all the more reason to support the Donald.

And yet of course the Post could not do any of this sort of background sleuthing on the incompetent fraud Obama.

How dare these charlatans, picking and choosing who the public knows about...they are product of socialistic journalism professors and niave notions that they will enlighten the rest of us hopelessly stupid masses through their selective manipulation and filtering of what information we see.

These scum have far too much influence— they are the vilest of the vile.

Anyone who can scare the Obama loving MSM this much has a place in my heart.

Funny that Mr. Cohen brings up Adolf Hitler & Donald Trump. Methinks a better fit would be Adolf Hitler & Barack Hussein Obama, two birds of a feather, IMHO!!! I guess my opinion of birds of a feather is just as right on as Mr. Cohen believes his is!!!

The only thing I support about Trump is his pursuit on the BC issue and anything else that dogs 0bama personally. However, he doesn’t belong in the White House.

I agree - I wouldn’t vote for him unless the only other choice was Zero, but I am 100% behind his efforts to dig up the documents on Mystery Barry.

Trump is a good attack dog at this point of the campaign. I’m glad he’s out there hitting on Obama about his birth certificate among other things. At the end of the day, he is not conservative. For crying out loud, just a few months ago he was cutting a check for Rahm Emmanuel’s Chicago Mayor campaign. Wake up people!! He is no conservative. He’s the next Ross Perot. I remember years ago Rush used to call Perot a “Hand Grenade with a bad haircut”. Well that mantel certainly applies to Trump also.

Richard Cohen:

“He’s not so much an old liberal who grew conservative as he is a simplistic old hack who believes his common prejudices to be politically incorrect truths and his Beltway conventional wisdom to be bracing political insight.”

LOL! "Back in 1990, Ivana Trump told her divorce lawyer Michael Kennedy that “from time to time, her husband [Donald Trump] reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, ‘My New Order,’ which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.”

So, she was married to this man for 15 years, but it was only during the divorce that this "fact" bothered her???

Exactly, if Cohen doesn’t like The Donald, that’s good enough reason for me to support him.

It’s also quite feasible that an educated person would read things they don’t agree with, either for general knowledge, inspiration, or “just because.”

I’ve read parts of the Communist Manifesto, but I’m far from a Commie. In fact, understanding it has made me more anti-Communist.

How do you tell a Communist? It’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin.

Trump/Palin or Palin/West is good by me.

Trump will either be president or nothing. These is no 2nd fiddle for him.

IMHO Trump is preferable to all of the Rat candidates and a significant majority of the GOP’s.

I’ve watched a lot of Hitler speeches on You Tube and have seen Triumph of the Will, there is no denying that Hitler was a master orator, and that even if you find him a totally despicable human being, you can learn a lot about how to manipulate people by watching his speeches.
