Trump isn't always wrong. Article says Trump may have read Hitler book for inspiration. Fake News.

I am intensely skeptical that Trump has read anything not in a magazine or newspaper since college.

Hence "Fake". I've read partway into the "inspirational" book for historical perspective. There's NFW Trump could make it past the forward.

We all know Trump lies about everything. There's no reason to doubt the veracity of Ivanka or Davis, however.

There's no trust nor is it required. If Trump says it's a glorious sunny day he may be telling the truth. I'll look outside anyway.

And when two people you have no reason to suspect as unreliable tell you the opposite, then what?

It's not like we can look into the cabinet by Trump's bed to find out the truth, either.

Perhaps the best way I can answer is to say that I "trust" Trump, but not in terms of honesty or reliability. I trust him to follow his nature. I expect him to be dishonest and cruel. I expect that the rule of law is something which only matters in that at some point he might suffer irreversable personal damage. I trust Trump to view himself as the reason the world exists, that he has rights by birth and positions which are unique.

I have expectations of him, none of which are good, likewise with the people around him.

If it's not a tabloid article about himself, Trump won't read it. That factoid has more thorough sourcing than the old one in the OP.

Off topic kinda, I just watched Trump giving a posthumous medal to a WWII vet and listening to him read off the prompter is like watching an episode of Drunk History.

I don't know. The Drunk History people are usually professors, PhD students...actual scholars, right? The point is they actually know what they are talking about whenever they open their mouths...just temporarily cognitively impaired...unlike Trump who perpetually exists on the other side of those two states. [of knowing things and cognitive impairment]

Well, he was reading the history of the battle off the prompter...which is what reminded me of that show.

And yet you started this thread in an attempt to tell us that Trump is being unfairly maligned.
