So here's a thought Trump was going to pull a stunt where he pulled his shirt back and revealed a Superman t-shirt underneath.

Is it possible that Trump thinks himself as the man who Wills the Ubermensch? I don't believe he's an Avid Reader but could he have have pickedthat up from his father the Nazi sympathizer obviously the Nazis had a affinity for Nietzche.

Is Trump actually an nihilist does that explain some of the things that he does as the man who dares to build his house on Mount Vesuvius.
