Uh huh.
The natural reaction if that were true would be to take a step back and re-evaluate your rhetoric and why you're being compared to one of the most evil people in history.
He's read it cover to cover and loves it. That's why the parallels are narrowing and becoming extremely clear. And why he's not phased at the comparison.
Believing Donald Trump has not read a book is easy, and this book is no exception. I have no problem believing he didn't read it.
Now Steven Miller on the other hand...
I believe Stephen Miller has it memorized and creeps into Trump's bedroom through the window while he's sleeping and whispers it into his ear, and has been doing this every night for 6 years. I can picture this clearly.
Yup, this line probably wasn't just stumbled upon randomly in his rotting brain, it was fed to him from one of his white nationalist speech goons. And it's possible they too didn't get it straight from Hitler but just read it on a neo-Nazi thought piece and found it compelling. Most white nationalists aren't studying the foundational texts, but they all seem to know the same words.
