One thing I noticed in today's corona virus hearing

[left-of-center2012]

Seems like all the experts who testified had shelves full of books behind them in their homes.

How many books has Trump read?

[niyad]

1. Probably zero. Not even the ones he supposedly wrote.

[Brother Buzz]

20. That's not entirely true

I've heard he reads EVERYTHING that mentions him by name, including the book he supposedly wrote. Hell, I'll bet he even highlights his name.

[Hekate]

2. He used to keep Mein Kampf on his bedside table, so I think he read that at some point.

Likes Mein Kampf

[Haggis for Breakfast]

15. I don't believe that he's read it.

He's not that intelligent. "Mein Kampf" is written at a scholarly level. It is not some comic book or graphic novel with pictures for those who don't care to or are too lazy to read. Literary volumes are not trumpie's long suit and I think he just said that, like he says so many other (untrue) things just to rile people or appear edgy (which he certainly isn't). I'm not condoning anything the author did later in life, but this book is an intelligent, dense read. It is, at turns, dry, pedantic, and certainly too cerebral for a dim bulb like trumpie.

And I read it in German. At university.

16. The book wasn't Mein Kampf, it was a collection of Hitler's speeches.

His first wife said he kept it in his bedside cabinet and read it from time to time.

[Hekate]

19. Well, there ya go. Thank you for the correction. nt

6. I watched a Colbert interview with Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar

In Mayor Pete's book shelf was Fiasco I just learned the subtitle: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003 to 2005 However the word fiasco pretty much sums up what's happening now. It was one of my Dad's favorite words. I think he would call it a fucking fiasco!

21. One title I've seen a lot ...

One title I've seen a lot in interviews and reporters broadcasting from home is a thick book simply titled "Grant".
I'm assuming General Grant?

[RockRaven]

4. Like Sarah Palin and newspapers...

"All of them"

[stillcool]

5. Other than Fun with Dick and Jane?

[agingdem]

7. one

mein kämpf

[Marie Marie]

8. Make that two. I'm sure that he has read The Art of the Deal over and over again.

[Roland99]

9. Mein Kampf

[CatMor]

12. Somehow I can't imagine trump reading through Mein Kampf

unless there is a Mein Kampf for Dummies version.

[SCantiGOP]

10. Fake news

Trump has several books, some of which he hasn’t finished coloring yet.

[LuckyCharms]

11. 3 coloring books filled with Sharpie scribbles.

[underpants]

13. Didn't Lamar Alexander's house look like it was from a movie about a Senator?

14. I thought that I recollect

that he said that the only books he ever read were on economics books. If he read Hitler's book he did better than I could. I tried to read it when I was studying German history and found it way too off the wall and boring.

The man is an uneducated boor, with no redeeming social value.

[saidsimplesimon]

17. He probably watches reruns of his hero, Herr Hitler.

tRump is an illiterate monster. imo

18. Am I the only one who wants to see something like

somebody's cat jump up on their lap or on the table in front of them or a dog come up and start nuzzling them to get pet?
