From CNN, an excerpt from anchor Jim Sciutto's new book, "The Return of the Great Powers: Russia, China and the next World War" that recounts the Malignant Loser's admiration for Adolph Hitler, per Gen. John Kelly:
"To Donald Trump, Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán is 'fantastic,' Chinese leader Xi Jinping is 'brilliant,' North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is 'an OK guy,' and, most alarmingly, he allegedly said Adolf Hitler 'did some good things,' a worldview that would reverse decades-old US foreign policy in a second term should he win November’s presidential election, multiple former senior advisers told CNN.

Trump allegedly reserved some of his most unnerving praise for Hitler, who led Nazi Germany during World War II.
'He said, "Well, but Hitler did some good things." I said, "Well, what?" And he said, "Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy." But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, "Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing,” Kelly recounted. 'I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.'
'It’s pretty hard to believe he missed the Holocaust, though, and pretty hard to understand how he missed the 400,000 American GIs that were killed in the European theater,' Kelly told me. 'But I think it’s more, again, the tough guy thing.'
Trump’s admiration for Hitler went further than the German leader’s economic policies, according to Kelly. Trump also expressed admiration for Hitler’s hold on senior Nazi officers. Trump lamented that Hitler, as Kelly recounted, maintained his senior staff’s 'loyalty,' while Trump himself often did not.
'He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,' Kelly recalled. 'He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal — that we would do anything he wanted us to do,' Kelly told me." (our emphasis)
The profound depravity and ignorance of the Malignant Loser to have even one speck of praise for the greatest monster in modern times is revealed in interviews like this. If those who worked on his behalf, General Kelly, John Bolton, Mark Esper and so on, don't publicly and continually denounce their former boss in clear terms from here to the election they are his accessories.
