Do you ever listen to yourself? I'm surprised you don't say you doubt he can actually read.....

They played a very funny clip of the President at his Hershey rally making fun of Fauxcahontas. When Bannon, a voracious reader, heard it he commented, “All of that has subtext. He’s Jungian in knowing archetypes and how to get to subtext. One of his favorite books is Memories, Dreams, Reflections by Carl Jung.” I was surprised.

Some of Trump’s favorite books:

The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
Essays and Lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
Ideas and Opinions by Albert Einstein
The Party: The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers by Richard McGregor
On China by Henry Kissinger
Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang
Tide Players: The Movers and Shakers of a Rising China by Jianying Zha
One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China by James McGregor

-----------

The first five have been on my reading list since college. But I tend to get distracted... Only got around to reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand last month.
Seriously? I don’t think Trump has read a single book straight through in his life.

Lol…..
He probably read the graphic novel versions.

Jung had a non-experimental-based perspective on psychology, so no surprise there. DJT doesn't appear to be a fan of evidence-based policies.

Trump's level of comprehension is about Playboy Magazine level...…….and if they didn't have pictures, he would not read that one.

I'm wondering, who made up that book list for him? A few years ago, when that magazine decided not to continue to show the kind of photos for which they're infamous, it must have been quite a personal blow for him.

Trump is actually very calculating and has been talking about what he's doing now for many years. Demwits never paid attention, only wanted his money. He knows how to play their game which scares them.

The fact that the Loonies think he's stupid shows their own stupidity. He easily catches them off guard and runs rings around them. They have no idea how he's outsmarted them when they've used every devious trick in their arsenal that normally sends Repubs cowering.

Late spring, early summer is what AG Barr said... Buy popcorn
This.

Carl Jung is a spiritual giant whose teachings lead to the spiritual awakening of several generations and counting. His counterpart, Sigmund Fraud said, Dream about your mother and snort cocaine.

Carl Jung and Donald J Trump don’t belong in the same sentence. Jung was a prolific figure in history. He had intelligence, empathy, and an acute zest for the truth. Trump is the exact opposite. Jung would be turning in his grave to hear that he had something to do with Trump and his mess.

It's amusing reading all these comments and smiling that the people writing them still don't get it. Please continue underestimating the President! See you in 2020...

While we all watch POTUS Trump create chaos, Pence goes on with the business of his group. And most of us have no clue what is happening unless Trump tweets about it. DO they even tell him what they are doing?

President Trump has always done an excellent job reading the teleprompter, and that is despite his preference for ad-lib.
He's a flawless reader, so no reason to doubt that he'd read those books.
