Trump’s admiration for Hitler went beyond the economic policies of the leader of the Third Reich,

Former US President Donald Trump praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

The corresponding admission was made by former White House chief of staff John Kelly in the book “The Return of the Great Powers” ​​by CNN journalist Jim Sciutto. According to him, in one conversation, Trump told him that Hitler “did some good things.”

“I said, So what? And I said, Well, Hitler restored the economy. But what did he do with that restored economy? He turned it against his people and against the whole world. And I said, Sir, you will never have anything good to say.” about this guy. Nothing,” Kelly said.

The former White House official also noted that Trump’s fascination with Hitler went beyond the Third Reich leader’s economic policies, and he also touted his power over top officers.

“Trump complained that Hitler maintained the loyalty of his senior leadership while Trump himself often did not. He asked about loyalty issues and how, when I pointed out to him that the German generals as a group were not loyal to him and even tried to time to kill him, but he didn’t know it. When he brought us, the generals, he sincerely believed that we would be loyal and do everything he wanted from us,” said the ex-chief of administration.

At the same time, Trump strongly refutes these statements. In particular, Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chung said that Kelly is “completely confused and suffering from a severe case of Donald Trump syndrome.”

  1. His indescence is as great as his narcissism. No limit. I will really have a thought for the USA in November first of all, then for us who will also have to put up with this bastard… My God save us!

  2. I also like Hitler, except for him embracing PruSSian scum, attacking England, Luxembourg, Denmark, and creating a holocaust…

    • I just don’t understand. He kills six million people but he’s ok because he had a good economy? There’s something not right about that kind of analysis and conclusion

  3. These statements could be viewed as slander. But, I tend to believe them more than not, simply because I know how stupidly the orange one can think and talk. He’s got a mind of a juvenile anyhow.

    • Sir OFP I saw CNN report back in 2018 where they cited similar comments. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. I don’t normally buy any media reports unless I can see it in multiple reports. The comment is also consistent with his love of dictators and autocrats.

      • Indeed, he NEVER has good things to say about normal leaders. He’s always doing his best to deep throat dick-tators.
