2. Trump is selling hate to his uneducated base.

Apr 2019

According to wife # 1, Ivana, Trump kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches by his bed. When asked about it Trump said
something like, “I don’t remember that but if I did then I’m sure I didn’t read them.”

Trump is pushing his racism to the limit to whip up his base in order to distract from Russia putting him into office.
