Like Trump, he earned a modest salary as Chancellor, which he waived, but he amassed massive wealth from a variety of sources. He set up the "Adolf Hitler Fund of German Industry," a personal slush fund to rake in corporate "contributions." He earned huge sums through the mandatory sales of his book, 'Mein Kampf.' And he charged the German Post Office for the use of his portrait on postage stamps. Trump has a good role model.
