You might wanna change your description of him to "Dostoyevsky worshipping nutcake". So yeah, doesn't quite cut it.

Re: Trumped
He's explicit that reading Ayn Rand (all her books) was how he started to read Austrian School economics. Worshiping her? Probably not. Her being very influential on him? Most certainly.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: Trumped
Not sure I can buy that, considering that he is listing two of his favorite books (which he considers to be some of the best ever written) and neither one of those is by Ayn Rand.

Re: Trumped
Who cares what he reads, he's unfit because he's a walking stereotype of everything the international community (unjustly) dislike about Americans. It's like electing Gordon Gecko.
Re: Trumped
Trump or Paul?
Edit: Predicted answer: "yes."
Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

Re: Trumped
Trump has an actual personality, which is rare among modern politicians.
Instead of the usual political double talk, Trump immediately proposes a solution.
Average republican: "Yes, we have a problem with illegal immigrants from Mexico, we have to take actions. As a president, I will be looking to a wide range of possible actions that I could possibly take so that in end it appears that I said something while I really didn't say anything..."
Trump: "We will build a huge wall on our southern border and Mexico is gonna pay for it!"
It is a completely separate issue that all his solutions are borderline insane.
Re: Trumped
From what I've heard, Ayn Rand's books are a bit boring to read. More that you read them for the ideas, rather than the prose or story.
But seriously,he says "I've red all her books, I got my favorite author on her's recommendation and red a lot of free market Austrian school economists (that heavily influenced my policies) that were sort of fellow travelers to Ayn Rand."
Would you do that statement with an author you find mediocre or worse? That's heavy fanboy demonstration. I can't even make that statement with my favorite authors and be honest.
