Trump Reads Hitler

By Leo Gura - September 2, 2024

“Back in 1990 — decades before he got into politics, Trump reportedly acknowledged owning a copy of Mein Kampf. The admission came in an interview with Vanity Fair shortly after his divorce from his first wife, Ivana. Here’s what the magazine reported:

‘Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade.’

Vanity Fair reporter Marie Brenner asked Trump if his cousin had given up a copy of the book to him. She wrote this is how Trump responded:

‘Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew,’ Trump told Brenner.

Brenner then asked Marty Davis whether he gave Trump a copy of the book.

‘I did give him a book about Hitler,’ Davis told her. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.'”
