His comments are still idiotic but what he’s saying is that in Germany some people where helping Jews, not that nazis treated them with “love” (at least in the fragment I’ve seen).
“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.
Looks like a direct Nazi prison guard comparison to me
I mean… who knows what rattles in his empty skull. For me he’s just rambling. It could be about Nazi guards or about Germans in general. He’s basically trying to say “Hamas is just hate while in Germany there was also some basic human kindness”. It’s obviously bullshit but translating it to “nazis treated Jews with love” is taking it too far.
“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.
Sounds like he’s talking about Germans in general to me, while the article immediately says that he must mean Nazis.
There’s a lot of dumb shit Trump says. I don’t think this is one of those things (his comparison between the holocaust and the hostages is still weird, but that’s typical “par for the course”).
he’s specifically asking about the treatment from Hamas and his examples don’t make sense in the context of just Germans… winking? giving an extra piece of bread?
His language is always tough to interpret but I’ve read the full quote several times now and I don’t see how it makes sense unless he’s comparing the hostage treatment from Hamas to the Nazis’ treatment of the Jewish people.
I don’t think he’s saying that the Nazis loved the Jewish people but I also don’t think that’s what the headline says either.
I think his odd choice of word is a result of both his limited vocabulary and his narcissism. He has no idea what feeling or expressing love for another person is.

The Lemmy hivemind cares not for nuance.
That’s why I have downvotes disabled :)
Oh, yes, the nuance of noted deep thinker Donald Trump.
How about the nuance of not letting this place turn into a reddit-like echo chamber and hub of disinformation spurred by clickbait headlines?
“I want this place that is designed exactly like reddit to be nothing like reddit.”
Let me know how that works out for you.
Well then why are you even here if Reddit already exists?
Because it’s decentralized and part of the fediverse. Why are you here?

Yep, exactly that. Really no need to make up stupid shit he says. There’s enough of real stupid shit he actually says.

If the ‘Hamas’ word was ‘Palestinians’, maybe. Now it is clear he is talking about the Nazi officers and soldiers.
Dude, nothing Trump says is ever clear.
