anyone surprised??????
Trump described himself as an Ayn Rand fan. He said of her novel The Fountainhead, It relates to business (and) beauty (and) life and inner emotions. That book relates to
everything. He identified with Howard Roark, the novels idealistic protagonist who designs skyscrapers and rages against the establishment.
Yeah, that worked really well for Rand Paul.
He says it relates to business and beauty and life and inner emotions. Like other books dont. Maybe if hed read Grapes of Wrath nah, Trump does not own a pair of empathy pants.

Not surprised that the guy who kept a book of Hitler's speeches next to his bed is also enthralled with the sophomoric rantings of Ayn Rand.
