According to reports, Trump made the above comments during Kelly’s visit to Europe in 2018 to commemorate the end of the First World War and gave the president an impromptu history lesson.
According to the book, Kelly “reminded the president of which countries were on which side during the conflict” and “connected the bits and pieces of World War I and World War II and all the atrocities committed by Hitler.”
According to reports, Trump said:
Well, Hitler did a lot of good things.
According to reports, Kelly “told the president that he was wrong, but Trump was not deterred”, emphasizing the German economic recovery under Hitler’s leadership in the 1930s.
“Kelly fought back again,” the Guardian quoted Bender as saying, “and believes that the German people are poorer than the Nazi genocide.”
Kelly told Trump that even if his claims about the German economy under Nazi rule are true, “you can’t say anything to support Adolf Hitler. You just can’t.”
