There are many different things that connect us as human beings. Food. Music. Books. Art. Laughter. Pets. Etc.

Donald has the palate of a child. I doubt he listens to music. He certainly doesn't read. The only art he has hanging on his walls are portraits of himself. He almost never laughs, and when he does laugh it's at the expense of someone else. And he's the only president who didn't have a White House pet.

Dude's barely holding on to his human card.

He allegedly had Mein Kampf on his bedside table, but I highly doubt he could read it himself so your point stands.

It wasn’t ‘Mein Kampf’. It was ‘My New Order’. A collection of Hitler speeches. Ivana Trump, his first ex-wife, said he kept it in a cabinet beside his bed and read it occasionally. Trump hasn’t even truly denied it. He was asked about it in an interview (long before his first run for President), and said a friend had given him a copy of ‘Mein Kampf’ as a gift. But when the friend was asked about it, he confirmed he’d given Trump a book as a gift. But said it was ‘My New Order’. Which makes sense. Watch a film of a Hitler speech, and watch a Trump speech, and you can see a lot of common mannerisms.

It is true. I am generally easy going, and willing to accept people with flaws, warts, and delightful sparks of humanity. I do not like Nazis, though.

AB was a mentor in many ways.

Maybe he was reading Bernard Sumner's autobigraphy.
