Former President Donald Trump expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler's generals, stating he needed 'the kind of generals that Hitler had,' who were 'totally loyal' and followed orders without question. This statement was made during a private conversation in the White House and has been confirmed by multiple sources, including former Chief of Staff John Kelly. Additionally, Trump offered to pay for the funeral of Vanessa Guillén, a murdered U.S. Army private, but became enraged when presented with a $60,000 bill, exclaiming, 'It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f--king Mexican!' and ordered his Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, not to pay it.
