In 2018, Donald Trump would have said during a visit to France that Adolf Hitler "did a lot of good things".

This is what a

Wall Street Journal

reporter says

 in a book to be released on July 13.

These statements would have been made on the sidelines of a visit to Europe for the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War according to Michael Bender, author of the book “Frankly, We did win this election”.

The reporter says the remark took place during an "improvised history lesson" given to Trump by John Kelly, his chief of staff at the time.

"You can't speak well of Adolf Hitler"

John Kelly would have "reminded the president which countries were on which side during the conflict" and "connected the dots between WWI and WWII as well as all the atrocities [committed by] Hitler", to which Donald Trump would have replied that the German dictator had done "a lot of good things".

The former US president denies having uttered this sentence.

"Saw off" by the argument, the chief of staff is said to have "told the president he was wrong but Trump stuck with his positions", highlighting Germany's economic recovery under the leadership of the Nazi party in the 1930s "You can't speak well of Adolf Hitler.

Not at all ”, would have concluded John Kelly, appalled.

American soldiers, "losers" and "morons"

Donald Trump's visit to France had given rise to another controversy.

The president had canceled his visit to an American cemetery near Paris on the pretext that the weather conditions were too bad.

But according to

The Atlantic

, the executive just didn't see the point.

"Why should I go to this cemetery?"

", He would have declared, according to a revelation of the newspaper in September 2020." It is filled with losers.

Donald Trump would also have called the 1,541 American soldiers who died during the Battle of Belleau Wood as "morons", before asking "who were the good guys" during the war.

These allegations had been strongly denied by the White House.
