Trump Said Hitler ‘Did a Lot of Good Things’

On a visit to Europe to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war, Donald Trump insisted to his then chief of staff, John Kelly: “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” the Guardian reports.

The comment is reported in a new book, Frankly, We Did Win This Election, which says Trump made it during an impromptu history lesson in which Kelly “reminded the president which countries were on which side during the conflict” and “connected the dots from the first world war to the second world war and all of Hitler’s atrocities.”
