2. Didn't he write Mein Kampf in prison,

Didn't his book lay out his plans to conquer the world? If he looked tame, looks can be deceiving.

3. Yes he did along with help from Rudolf Hess,

who was locked up in the same prison.

4. It did lay out his plans, but

...even though everyone had it on their coffee table, it was so long-winded and boring few people actually bothered to read it. William Shriver, who was living in Germany at that time, explains this in Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

5. They must have pulled that story out of their asses because Hitler was not tamed by his brief

prison stay.

He got special favors and dictated his genocidal plans.

10. Well, Trump would say so. I was just saying they were full of shit in their assessment.

6. "It is believed he will retire to private life"

- Worst prognostication ever.

"and return to Austria"
- actually quite accurate, could have even said annex

7. Like most present day media always looking for Donny's pivot.

The one that would finally cause him to start acting presidential.

8. Story written by Maggie Haberman's great-grandmother.

"Allegedly."
