    I’m sure he hadn’t read any part of it, maybe not even the title, but it is a good indicator of the people he associates with, which says something about him. Nobody just gifts you a copy of ‘Mein Kampf’ for shits and giggles, it’s not something you just read for fun. While I’m sure plenty of people have read it just to see it for themselves and they’re not actually racists (the same way somebody can read a religious text without being religious), BUT it’s not something you just gift to somebody without trying to suggest some ideas to them.

      Worth noting that, hilariously, no one gave him a copy of Mein Kampf. The person gave him a book on Hitler’s speeches, and Trump remembers this as his "Jewish friend giving him “Mein Kampf” because he’s a fucking idiot.
