Trump Admired Hitler's Generals and 'Good Things,' John Kelly Confirms
Oct 22, 2024, 09:22 PM
Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, reportedly expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler's generals, stating in a private conversation in the White House, "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had—people who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders," according to an article by Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic. John Kelly, Trump's former Chief of Staff, confirmed these remarks and added that Trump "commented more than once that 'Hitler did some good things'." The article highlights Trump's growing interest in the advantages of dictatorship and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver. Former generals who worked for Trump have said that the sole military virtue he prizes is obedience.
