Trump described himself as an Ayn Rand fan

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 novel’s 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 don’t. Maybe if he’d read Grapes of Wrath … nah, Trump does not own a pair of empathy pants.

heh

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.
