hitler actually wrote mein kampf

"Schwartz (the author) expressed regrets about his involvement and he and the book's publisher, Howard Kaminsky, asserted that Trump had played no role in the actual writing of the book. Trump has given conflicting accounts on the question of authorship.[1]"
"By 2016, Schwartz said he had received some $1.6 million in royalty payments.[26] In October of that year, Schwartz said the royalties he was still receiving for the book "suddenly became, for me, blood money. I didn't want to be anywhere near it. It just feels wrong."[27] As a result, Schwartz said he would be donating the prior 6-months of royalties worth $55,000 to the National Immigration Law Center which advocates for more undocumented immigrants to remain in the USA legally. Schwartz had earlier donated royalties he received in the second half of 2015, worth $25,000, to a number of charities including the National Immigration Forum. Schwartz said he wanted to help the people Trump was attacking.[27]"

>tfw you buy art of the deal and it funds illegal immigrants

In 1988, Trump set up the Donald J. Trump Foundation to give away royalties from the book's sales, promising four or five million dollars "To the homeless, to Vietnam veterans, for AIDS, multiple sclerosis" in Trump's words.[26][28] According to a Washington Post investigation those donations largely did not happen: the paper said "he gave less to those causes than he did to his older daughter's ballet school."[28] The Washington Post asked Trump's campaign if Trump had donated the $55,000 Trump earned in the first six months of 2016 to charity, as he promised in the 1980s, and it did not respond.[27]

Mein Kampf was a rambling of some faggot who wrote it because people told him to shut up. It's dumb but at least genuine.

This is a ghostwritten book that was probably not read by the guy it's about and just an attempt to earn some shekels. Just because both are rabble rouses doesn't mean they are similar.

You speak of democracy not being necessary for capitalism, but I claim that capitalism also undermines democracy
Also this thread is pointless if we don't define what Mein Kampf was. Is the comparison being made because a leader 'wrote' it? Is it implied as a kind of bible of capitalism? For the latter I think Ayn Rand and corrupted reading of Adam Smith are more apt. If the first why not crippled America?

The book he paid someone else to write is irrelevant to his presidency because it reflects a philosophy he doesn't hold.

Rands rambling are barely related to capitalism and more of attempt to present the oppresses as the good guys.
Though at the same time, Mein Kampf isn't much about nationalsocialism either.

>replacing a self-serving clown with a mental asylum patient would improve things
I mean, even if you have dreams of white America, it wouldn't work. Hitler was the guy who talked to the plebs, he had competent people taking care of anything else and when he butted in, things usually went to shit. Bannon is another PR type who's good at talking. The extreme right rarely had competent people and now it's full of brain dead guys who'd get gassed as retards back in the third reich, the country would instantly implode.

Britain? For giving Poland the guarantee to war when Germany was negotiating with them for Danzig? Thereby screwing Germany and making Poland refuse to negotiate.

>You mean ignoring your debt
The debt that practically every modern economy has? The USA, Ireland and Japan have a larger debt percentage than they did

>looting other countries
They didn't even have an army until 1936. Nobody was "looted" until the war started, and guess what, looting is what happens in war. What do you think the Soviets did in Berlin?
