Donald Trump has now denied ever having read Adolf Hitler’s 1925 memoir-manifesto Mein Kampf as he faces a firestorm over his recent run of anti-immigrant comments, which have been likened to the Nazi leader’s infamous “blood and soil” rhetoric.

The former president returned to the campaign trail in Waterloo, Iowa, on Tuesday evening where he doubled down on his earlier inflammatory remarks.

“It’s crazy, what’s going on. They’re ruining our country. And it’s true. They are destroying the blood of our country. That’s what they’re doing. They are destroying our country,” he said.

“They don’t like it when I said that,” he added, before denying browsing Hitler’s book.

“And I never read Mein Kampf. They said, ‘Oh, Hitler said that’. In a much different way,” he said.

It's easy to believe he's never read Mein Kampf. It's easy to believe he's never read a book at all. He might have read his own book, maybe.

I would believe that he hired someone to read it and then give him the cliff notes and he just kept interrupting the guy when he was trying to explain it to him.

Is there an audiobook version?

I doubt he even wrote his own book, much less be able to read it

Actually it was ghost written.

Lmao, I should have known, because of course it was. Trump is just weapons grade stupid

I think the guy who wrote it did an interview saying he now regretted it.
