Former President Donald Trump reportedly praised Adolf Hitler to his then-chief of staff John Kelly, according to a report in The Guardian.
“Well, Hitler did a lot of good things," Trump allegedly saidduring a 2018 trip to Europe to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, the Wall Street Journal's Michael Bender writes in his book "Frankly, We Did Win This Election" and reported in The Guardian.
Bender interviewed Trump after he left office and writes that Trump denied the comments.
Trump's comments on Hitler came as Kelly briefed Trump on World War I history and “reminded the president which countries were on which side during the conflict.”
Citing unnamed sources, Bender wrote that Kelly “told the president that he was wrong, but Trump was undeterred.” The former president cited Germany's economic recovery in the 1930s under Hitler, to which Kelly "argued that the German people would have been better off poor than subjected to the Nazi genocide.”
