Brown didn't proper name the reporter, but a 1990 piece in Vanity Fair by author Marie Brenner fits the bill. In the story, Brenner described the awkward moment of the Hitler speeches:

Kennedy now guards a re-create of My New Order in a closet at his office, equally if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary power every bit a master propagandist.

"Did your cousin John give y'all 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 Guild, Hitler's speeches, non Mein Kampf. I idea he would find information technology interesting. I am his friend, but I'yard not Jewish.")

Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not proverb that I exercise, I would never read them."
