In a shocking revelation, former White House chief of staff John Kelly has come forward to claim that former President Donald Trump praised German dictator Adolf Hitler during his time in office. Speaking to CNN's Jim Sciutto, Kelly disclosed that Trump not only praised Hitler but also expressed admiration for other authoritarian leaders such as Chinese leader Xi Jinping, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Kelly, Trump lauded Hitler's economic policies, stating that he "rebuilt the economy." However, Kelly pointed out that Hitler's actions with that rebuilt economy, turning it against his own people and the world, made it impossible to say anything positive about him. Kelly even remarked that compared to Hitler, Mussolini seemed like a "great guy."

Kelly further revealed that Trump expressed a desire for the kind of loyalty Hitler held over his senior Nazi officers. Trump was apparently concerned about his own staff's loyalty, particularly after Kelly pointed out that German generals were not loyal to Hitler and even attempted to assassinate him.

Former national security adviser John Bolton added his perspective on Trump's admiration for dictators, noting that the former president saw himself as a "big guy" and enjoyed dealing with other influential leaders such as Erdogan in Turkey, who had the power to put people in jail without seeking permission.

These startling revelations have sparked controversy and divided opinions. A Trump spokeswoman denied the claims, dismissing Kelly and Bolton as suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and suggested they seek professional help to deal with their alleged hatred.

This disclosure brings to light yet another concerning aspect of Trump's presidency, with his apparent admiration for autocratic leaders raising questions about his values and judgment. The public's response to these revelations remains to be seen, but they undoubtedly add fuel to the ongoing discussions surrounding Trump's tenure in office.
