Hopefully you don't believe that everyone will get the same thing from some of those books as you did. Some on your list I haven't read. Others I have and I'll bet the message I got was considerably different than the message you believe you received.
The messages are clear. Which have you read and what are your takes?
What funny is if lefties read Trumps book, they’d have a better understanding of Trump.
And Learn something.

I've never actually said what books I suggest be read here.
I've selected 22 across a broad spectrum including history, politics and economics.
I've kept it to one suggestion per author, although some are controversial it is essential IMHO to know the thoughts of those shaping the thinking of the modern world even if we disagree with them, an=nd even if they were mad.
A good library for starters:
RULES FOR RADICALS - Saul Alinsky
A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES - Winston Churchill
DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA - Alexis de Tocqueville
CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM - Milton Friedman
THE ROAD TO SERFDOM - Friedrich Hayek
THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES - Ernesto "Che" Guevara
MEIN KAMPF - Adolf Hitler
POLITICAL PILGRIMS - Paul Hollander
WHAT IS TO BE DONE - Vladimir Lenin
A COMMUNIST MANIFESTO - Karl Marx
LIBERTY AND TYRANNY: A CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO - Mark Levin

I’d rather not listen to a proven liar, a con man, a draft dodging misogynist, a sexual harassing, p**sy grabbing fool. The are good Republican conservatives I would listen to but they’ve all gone to ground because of trump and his lemmings. The only thing I could learn from this poor excuse of a man is how to cheapen my morality as a human being.
In all sincerity, I cannot understand how some of you, those who might be reasonably intelligent, support this imposter. As bad as things might have been before, this guy has made things far far worse.

And there we have it ... my leftist friends have no interest in learning how our modern reality came to be.
Sad, so very sad.

What is sad is that you feel you could or have learned lessons from trump.
Wake up, this not a dem or repub issue; it is about being an honorable person. Why did you lower your standards for trump?
I refuse to accept trump’s lack of morality as the “modern reality” and so should you if you have any integrity.

I have learned from every book I’ve ever read ... that is the point of reading books.

What have you learned from trump?
Among many other topics, books I’ve read condemn the lack of integrity as presented by trump.
What have you learned reading trump’s books?

What have you learned and what books
Read the book and find out, it is a schematic on how he operates ... and everyone who has read it understands his business tactics and why they are working.
I will not explain it to you further because you have proven yourself unwilling to learn.

There are some who contribute to this forum are simply far too arrogant; and therein lies their resonance with Trump. Their morality and integrity becomes less important overshadowed by narcissistic needs.

Simply precious.
The left is now piling on against any and all who wish to learn ... apparently yearning for the good old days of book burning under Adolf, Joe and Mao.

You’re amusing. Your presumed superiority as evidenced by your mantra “read a book” is frankly quite lame. In a sense it’s similar to trump’s twice asserting of being “a stable genius”. Some truths should be self-evident and of you have to tell someone of your superiority, you “ain’t got it”!
You dodged the question and if you learned something from trump and his behavior, well, that’s nothing to brag about.
There are some who believe nobody on the site reads books, or for that matter value education. They are misguided.
Ironically, Trump doesn't read, anything, never has--and professes to be a stable genius

My mantra of read a book has nothing to do with presumed superiority ... it has everything to do with the left’s self imposed inferiority.
Plus, I dodged no question ... I gave a short answer and info on how you could obtain detailed answers.
I get it, you and some others refuse to learn anything about how the world we live in fame to be and how it functions ... preferring to have your beliefs spoon fed to you by the lines of Rachel and friends.
I get it, you will fight any and all who try to enlighten you.
That is your right.
I also notice that none of you has offered a single book to the list. Why is that?
Now, please, let those interested in learning do so.

The topic isn’t what Trump reads, your hate is consuming you.
The topic is political history.
I can only assume that the entire leftist lot cannot make a single contribution because they have none to make.
