Oh -I think he is intentionally and gleefully hoping history repeats itself.

From a 25 year old Vanity Fair article -

4. When pressed on awkward topics—such as whether or not he regularly read Adolf Hitler’s speeches—he turns skittish and, perhaps, inventive.

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”

“I don’t remember,” I said.

Seems to me that he is a fan.

I don't think that they teach history in school any longer, most young people can't tell anyone much about it. Remember this, "If history always repeats itself and the unexpected always happens. How incapable must man be from learning from past mistakes", just my thoughts, James

@James Perhaps they never did, after all most Americans (used to) think about Thanksgiving being a friendly gathering between Pilgrims and Native Americans which was hardly the truth.

History is the stories of the winners about their heroics and losers atrocities. To be taken with a grain of salt.
