Trump's envy of Hitler revealed by his own ex-chief of staff

Raw Story  

Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly tells CNN that former President Donald Trump openly envied the late Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and the loyalty he supposedly inspired in subordinates. “I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.” Trump also said that Hitler enjoyed "loyalty" from his top generals that the former president himself did not enjoy. Kelly also said that Trump privately peddled Kremlin talking points about NATO and even blamed the Western alliance for supposedly forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to act aggressively militarily. ‘If we didn’t have NATO, then Putin wouldn’t be doing these things.’” Kelly also speculated that Trump liked dictators because they gave off the impression of being "tough," which was how he saw himself.
