According to the new book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender titled ‘Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost’ former President Trump told his then-chief of staff John Kelly that ‘Hilter did a lot of good things.’
A ‘stunned’ John Kelly snapped back ”You cannot ever say anything supportive of Adolf Hitler. You just can’t’
This was during a 2018 trip to Europe to mark 100 years since World War I.
Backing up this claim is Ivana, Trump’s wife during this period told her lawyer — which was reported by Vanity Fair — that her then-husband kept a book of Hilter’s speeches by his bed.
During this same trip, Trump canceled a visit to a U.S. military graveyard and reportedly called the deceased American soldiers ‘losers.’
While Trump blamed the rain for ‘transportation problems’, it’s widely believed he was worried his hair would become ‘disheveled.’ Meanwhile, John Kelly, a retired General, attended with apparently no transportation issues.
Michael Bender’s book comes out on July 13.
