It was recently touted by the openly white nationalist member of Congress (yes, there is one), Steve King of Iowa.
It's plot focuses on France and Europe being invaded by hordes of poor people from India.
The leader of the Indian hordes is depicted as a mystic who literally eats shit.
I'd say that Trump is a fan of this book but who are we kidding? We know he doesn't read.
However, I'm sure members of his staff certainly clued him in on it. (Back before their ugly divorce, I know Steve Bannon praised the book.)

The preferred demagoguery of the fascist right in this country is "The Turner Diaries".
