Donald Trump has written numerous books in his career, most famously his The Art of The Deal that came out back in 1987. Other titles of his include We Want You to be Rich, How to Get Rich, Think like a Billionaire, The Art of the Comeback, The Way to the Top, Never Give Up, Think Big and Kick Ass, Crippled America, Think Like a Champion, The America we Deserve, The Best Golf Advice I Ever Received, The Best Real Estate Advice I Ever Received and there's a few more in there too.

The overall message in the title of his books is empowerment and getting rich. You can see that his message does not exclude any specific group or race but he does emphasize that America is not as good as it once was. One thing you do not see are any accusations or any victim mentality within his book titles.

According to Goodreads.com, here are some of the more notable quotes from his books.

“The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? . . . Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they’ll be more industrious; they’ll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all—and more revenue for government.4”
― Donald J. Trump, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again

“When people are in a focused state, the words “I can’t,” “I’ll try,” “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and “maybe” get forced out of their vocabularies.”
― Donald J. Trump, Midas Touch
“Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the ability to act effectively, in spite of fear.”
― Donald J. Trump, Midas Touch

“Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.”
― Donald J. Trump, Midas Touch

“I like to think of the word FOCUS as Follow One Course Until Successful.”
― Donald J. Trump, Midas Touch

“No one can match America. We have big hearts—and the courage to do what’s right. But we’re not the world’s policemen. And if we have to take on that role, we need to send a clear message that protection comes at a price. If other countries benefit from our armed forces protecting them, those countries should cover the costs. Period.”
― Donald J. Trump, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again

“One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people—I categorize them as life’s losers—who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.”
― Donald J. Trump, Trump: The Art of the Deal

“living your words, walking your talk, and talking your walk.”
― Donald J. Trump, Midas Touch

“The worst things in history have happened when people stop thinking for themselves and listen to other people and, even worse, start following other people. That’s what gives rise to dictators.”
― Donald J. Trump, Think Like a Champion: An Informal Education In Business and Life

Those are just a few of the quotes listed from his books. Again, his writings are dominated by his strong sense of self, advice, empowerment and the only victimology you will find in those quotes comes from big government, not Jews or any other religion, race or a segment of the population. There is a strong advocation of the individual, for one to make their own rules in life and how to succeed in being the best individual you want to be.

Leftist often accuse Trump of being a fascist or a Nazi because he thinks that immigrants should be in this country legally but let's compare Hitler's Mein Kampf (My Struggle) quotes and those of Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto, both quotes can be found at Goodreads.com and have been linked to in their titles.

Off the bat, Mien Kampf portrays victimhood and suffering in the title which are not traits of an empowered person who perseveres. Here goes some of the notable quotes from Mien Kampf.

“Industry, technology, and commerce can thrive only as long as an idealistic national community offers the necessary preconditions. And these do not lie in material egoism, but in a spirit of sacrifice and joyful renunciation.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

“Only the Jew knew that by an able and persistent use of propaganda heaven itself can be presented to the people as if it were hell and, vice versa, the most miserable kind of life can be presented as if it were paradise. The Jew knew this and acted accordingly. But the German, or rather his Government, did not have the slightest suspicion of it. During the War the heaviest of penalties had to be paid for that ignorance.

-- Mein Kampf, Chapter 10”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

“It is more difficult to undermine faith than knowledge, love succumbs to change less than to respect, hatred is more durable than aversion, and at all times the driving force of the most important changes in this world has been found less in a scientific knowledge animating the masses, but rather in a fanaticism dominating them and in a hysteria which drove them forward.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

“As opposed to this, we National Socialists must hold unflinchingly to our aim in foreign policy, namely, to secure for the German people the land and soil to which they are entitled on this earth. And this action is the only one which, before God and our German posterity, would make any sacrifice of blood seem justified.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

“German youth, do not forget that you are a German," and "Remember, little girl, that one day you must be a German mother.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf - My Struggle: Unabridged edition of Hitlers original book - Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice

“Art and science were in German hands. Apart from the new artistic trash, which might easily have been produced by a negro tribe, all genuine artistic inspiration came from the German section of the population.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf - My Struggle: Unabridged edition of Hitlers original book - Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice

“Everything was disparaged - the nation, because it was held to be an invention of the 'capitalist' class (how often I had to listen to that phrase!); the Fatherland, because it was held to be an instrument in the hands of the bourgeoisie for the exploitation of' the working masses; the authority of the law, because that was a means of holding down the proletariat; religion, as a means of doping the people, so as to exploit them afterwards; morality, as a badge of stupid and sheepish docility. There was nothing that they did not drag in the mud.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf - My Struggle: Unabridged edition of Hitlers original book - Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice

The only crossover from the Trump Philosophy to Hitler's is nationalism but Trump's and Hitler's definition if 'nationalism' have some key differences. Trump thinks that whoever is legally within America's borders should dominate their own self determined destiny, no matter their religion or background whereas Hitler thinks only of race when it comes to those within German borders, and even then, they must live to uphold that race.

Hitler determines that there is a "Struggle" that the German (Aryan) people must overcome from the Jewish conspiracy. When it comes to the differences between the Marxist philosophy and Hitler's, there isn't much at all. You can interchange 'Jew' and 'bourgeoisie' and get the same ideology.

Let's examine some quotes from The Communist Manifesto.

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, that each time ended, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“the theory of Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“The bourgeois sees in his wife a mere instrument of production.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“The bourgeoisie . . . has created enormous cities, has greatly increased the urban population as compared with the rural, and has thus rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life. Just as it has made the country dependent on the towns, so it has made barbarian and semi-barbarian countries dependent on the civilized ones, nations of peasants on nations of bourgeois, the East on the West.”
― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

“The immediate aim of the Communist is the same as that of all the other proletarian parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat.”
― Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto

Marx is very good at pointing out problems but his only solution is for the collective to make more problems for those who caused them in the first place in turn becoming what their enemies were. Hitler, too, was of the same stupidity. The desire to dominate an enemy who had not openly declared war and then expanding on what the previewed enemy is. In the case of the Marxist Soviet Russia, millions of people were put to death for being considered enemies of the state even though they may not have been. The collectivist ideologies of Stalin and Hitler (which both stemmed from Marx) tills futile soil to torture, kill and imprison precieved enemies of the state for personal vendettas or paranoias.

We're now going to take out attention to something modern. The book The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas give her account of an unarmed black kid getting shot by police. The title of the book does not hide the justice demanding, eye for an eye attitude and the self righteousness of the author. The book is a national bestseller. Here are some of the quotes of the book that too are on Goodreads.com.

“It's dope to be black until it's hard to be black.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“You can destroy wood and brick, but you can't destroy a movement.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“I’ve seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I’ve Tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down.Now I am that person, and I’m too afraid to speak.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“People like us in situations like this become hashtags, but they rarely get justice. I think we all wait for that one time though, that one time when it ends right.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“Daddy once told me there's a rage passed down to every black man from his ancestors, born the moment they couldn't stop the slave masters from hurting their families. Daddy also said there's nothing more dangerous than when that rage is activated.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“Funny. Slave masters thought they were making a difference in black people’s lives too. Saving them from their “wild African ways.” Same shit, different century. I wish people like them would stop thinking that people like me need saving.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“People say misery loves company, but I think it’s like that with anger too.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“I’ve taught myself to speak with two different voices and only say certain things around certain people. I’ve mastered it.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“That's the hate they're giving us, baby, a system designed against us. That's Thug Life.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

In many ways, the racial collectivism for destruction is much worse that Hitler's. There is an air of pride in being angry and black. But even more so is the hammering of the collective victim mentality that turns people away from their self and into the group. When people are in a organized group of united victims critical thinking goes out the window and barbarism ensues. Thomas hold a very dangerous psychology for everybody, even other black people because as we have seen with Hitler and Stalin, they define on a whim who their protected class is. Undoubtedly if Thomas had her way, she would define (if she doesn't already) what a black person is.

Hitler, Marx and Thomas have a lot more in common that Trump. Trump does not see class or race in his books. He illustrates how he got successful and passes it on to the reader. The other three authors have no solution to success. All they have is agitation and vengeance.
