You expect Trump to actually know history? I guarantee you that motherfucker has never read a book, let alone his cast of socialites he’s put into positions of power in his administration with zero experience.
He can’t even remember the last thing he said to somebody a day before. Just ask Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
So is it any surprise that this war would be any different? No. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t dropped a fucking nuke yet.
Last April [Note: article published in 1990] perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”

He can read when he wants to. The problem is that Trump has only ever been seen to read one book:
