Trump, "Hitler did some good things. Such as rebuilding the economy."

[Botany]

Yes, the economy under Hitler and the Fascists did get better in thanx in part to:

1). Slave labor. See the concentration camps and POW labor.

2). All the money, gold, jewelry, properties, and businesses that the Nazis stole from the
the Jews (and others) and in many cases they used Swiss Bank Accounts to keep their ill
gotten funds in.

3). Fascism with the German Businesses making millions and hiring all kinds of people
who in many cases were unemployed or under employed to make the weapons of war and
products such as Zyklon-B which was used to murder millions of people in the gas chambers.

********.
Why is he still in the race?

Some of “the good things” that Hitler did for Berlin.

[Lovie777]

1. What a lie..................................

but fact is, Hitler killed millions upon millions.

[eShirl]

2. pretty sure he'd consider "ethnic cleansing" a good thing

probably what he's souping up his base for right now

[yardwork]

4. He's said so, right from the beginning.

The day he came down that tacky gold escalator he was blabbing about illegals being criminals and rapists.

He's kept it up since. And it's not a coincidence that Melania wore that "don't care" jacket the day she visited the border.

These people have one script and they read it every day.

[Botany]

9. And don't forget Trump has been pushing antisemitism too.

He blamed “International Financial People” aka “The Rich Jews” for supporting a large
caravan of refugees from Central America after which a pro Trump conspiracy nut ball
- I refuse to post his name - went to the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill (Pittsburgh)
in early October of 2018 and murdered 11 people and wounded another 6. Trump less a
week to 10 days before the shooting went to Lebanon, OH and stoked the flames of anti-
semitism along with pro Confederate/Racism (Robert E Lee was a great general).

Btw the shooter’s life was saved by Jewish doctors and nurses after the shooting.

[yardwork]

10. Absolutely.

[Botany]

16. I was friends with a girl from Squirrel Hill and I had to wait as I was visiting Chicago ...

… to see if her family’s name was included with the victims. It was a brutal 24 hours because
I knew that her family were members of that Pittsburgh Synagogue and it really hurt. Her family
wasn’t hurt but it was strange to be happy that other people were shot.

Trump and his biker/meth head/mouth breathers are chaos agents who are part of Putin’s
war on America using racism, antisemitism, and ignorance to weaken our nation.

[yardwork]

3. The problem for the Republicans is that the economy isn't as bad as they'd hoped it would be.

I think the GOP and a lot of economists really believed in Reagan's trickle down economics. They didn't think Bidenomics would work. They figured we'd be in a recession now. That way, Trump could tell the voters that only he and only fascism would save us. The script was written years ago.

Fortunately for those alive now and very fortunately for the possibility of democracy surviving, Bidenomics is working! The economy is improving.

So now all Trump has are his lies.

5. Botany, it's good to see you posting again!

I missed your OPs.

7. Yep - republican history where hitler did good things, slavery was beneficial and diversity, equity and inclusion is bad

I hope people are not still buying that these people that support today's GOP are just misunderstood.

The people I know personally that defend this bullshit - people I have loved, and probably still have some love for - are not misunderstood. They are just as despicable and would probably do despicable things themselves. Not just say despicable things.

8. Tell us more uncle Donny, tell us more.....

[Wounded Bear]

11. Yep, and Mussolini made the trains run on time...

Always something you can cherry pick from history.

[Aristus]

13. Even though he didn't.

"Mussolini made the trains run on time" has as much veracity as "Trump secured the border."

[kwolf68]

12. LOL good lord Dotard

In what context, ANY context, could you say "Hitler did some good things"? So the economy was vibrant. Well that is good right? Except it was in many ways because of forced labor. So not so great. Hitler certainly didn't like "the different", immigrants, hated socialists, communists, gypsies and gays. He wanted to make Germany great again. On second thought I do see some reasoning why Dolt 45 would applaud Der Furher.

[Johonny]

14. The German economy was built on debt

Printing cash left and right, Aland promises never delivered while keeping wages low.

[BlueTsunami2018]

15. Is he on tape saying this?

I don’t doubt that he did but, let’s face it, even if he openly said this at a rally it wouldn’t matter to the cult, the media or anyone other than decent people. Someone alleging that he said it isn’t going to be a blip on the radar.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. It comes from a 2021 book that interviewed John Kelly

“Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” Trump reportedly told Kelly, who was explaining to the 45th President who the allies and adversaries were in both World Wars, according to Bender.

Bender also writes in the book, titled “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost,” that Trump was “undeterred” and persisted in his defense of the German dictator by claiming the country made economic gains under Hitler’s leadership.
...
“This is totally false. President Trump never said this. It is made up fake news, probably by a general who was incompetent and was fired,” Liz Harrington, chief spokeswoman for Trump, told CNN Wednesday.
...
“Even if it was true that he was solely responsible for rebuilding the economy, on balance you cannot ever say anything supportive of Adolf Hitler,” Kelly reportedly told Trump. “You just can’t.”

19. Right, from some "disloyal, loser".

It’ll be dismissed out of hand.

[Johnny2X2X]

17. Fascists like Hitler and Mussolini

They were so similar to Trump in that they bragged endlessly about things they didn't do when the facts were they were running their governments as kakistocracies. Same as Trump in the US, rule by the least competent. Germany was a mess, Hitler didn't do anything good. Mussolini didn't mke the trains run on time, nothing worked well in italy under his rule. But all 3 of them bragged endlessly.

It's popular among White Supremacists to tout Hitler as smart and as a great stategic military mind. Hitler was the worst military leader maybe in history, he made tactical error after tactical error. He was a moron who ignored experts and went with his gut in trying to be bold (remind you of anyone?).

The one thing they did that Trump models himself after is propaganize exceptionally well. The entire MAGA movement is modeled after the rise of Nazism, every last little detail is based on Hitler's rise to power. And it's very miticulously on purpose.

[TheRealNorth]

20. Hitler "built" the German economy off slave labor.....

And wealth stolen from Jewish people and other minority groups, and wealth he could steal from other nations (Austra, Czechoslovakia, and all the other nations the Germans invaded in WW2).

22. Hitler Killed himself.. That's ALL he WAS GGOD FOR.
