What books does Donald Trump read?

[Anonymous No.17312591]

My guesses include:
Joyce
Tindall
Ellmann
Sterne
Keats
Frost
Pessoa
Zen authors including Seungsahn
For philosophy, he's a clear Heideggerian

[Anonymous No.17312597]

Literally Hitler. It's just a shame he only saw it as good marketing tactics and not a real guide.

I recommend Domarus's selection of Hitler speeches; you can get them on libgen.

Books that Hitler read which Trump may have got second hand from him:
The Crowd by Gustave le Bon
Propaganda by Edward Bernays

Trump is also guaranteed to have read How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Trump is a transcendental idealist, bridging the Hegelian-kantian divide, the final note of their synthesis

[Anonymous No.17312712]

>>17312591
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

Trump doesn't read much and there is nothing wrong with that. A real estate tycoon or a politician don't have to read. I would take an illiterate over a pseud any day of the week.
That being said, he reads a bit, including >>17312629

That's Barron, who will complete the system of German idealism.

It's this. Trump literally pays people to tell him what texts say.

He doesn't read.

Nigger had to have everything broken down to two or three bullet points and even then it was debatable if he could concentrate on it.
He was, as Rex Tillerson proclaimed, a "Fucking Moron!"

Even George W was well read.

Art of the deal was written by Tony Schwartz, who donated his proceeds from it to I immigrant support organizations.

Did Donnie Dumbfuck give the medal of freedom to any authors during his presidency?

Reading is equivalent to listening. It's not good in and of itself; it depends on who you're listening to and if what they say is relevant to your interests.

There are next to no good books about how to do business, because good businessmen keep quiet about their tactics. Politicians are notorious for never uttering a word of truth, especially not about how to become a successful politician. Similarly, show business people aren't keen on training their replacements, except maybe in some mentoring capacity.

Trump learned most of what he knows from Roy Cohn. The real dirty secrets of life are rarely written down.

Someone who reads thousand page reports is what's called "middle management," anon. No wonder Democrats think it's an amazing talent.

lol, like Newsweek is a credible source. Trump has taken a chaotic and disturbed nation left to him by Obama and brought it into its strongest economic state in decades, all well managing a pandemic and sponsored rioters. I find it hard to imagine he could manage all that if we were illiterate.

Do you think Obama read them either? And try to find a source that isn't obviously politically biased and known for lying.

Rather than centralizing power, Trump allowed states as much autonomy as was practical. Can he be blamed if some states chose to squander that opportunity?

[Anonymous No.17312971]

I think Obama had the capability to. Whether you like him or not (I didn't) he was an intelligent man.

Agreed. Obama was intelligent but duplicitous. Trump has proven both intelligent and principled. I fear for the nation if he does actually leave office on the 20th.

Get a grip. Trump was an embarrassing blip and not any sort of savior or any of that shit.

Imagine being so burnt up that EVEN after you manage to contrive to get your candidate into office, you still throw a tantrum whenever people say something positive about the other candidate.

[Anonymous No.17313149]

You've gone beyond merely saying something positive. You've suggested the entire works will go to wrack and ruin when (when, not if) he leaves office.

Oh, I didn't realize you were precognitive. I seriously doubt that Trump has no plan for the next several days. In my opinion, it's possible that he wanted to wait until something like the antifa riot at the Capitol occurred (thereby demonstrating the ruthlessness of his opponents) before presenting the most damning legal evidence of election fraud in court.
