You're participating in the old good tradition of sanewashing what Trump said. You don't need to interpret that jumble of sounds as charitably as possible, he doesn't deserve it, and he repeatedly showed that he actually means the worst most of the time. He said "nazis showed signs of love to holocaust victims" with his own stupid mouth. You don't need to excuse him by interpreting it as if he didn't say it.
I knew this thread would be FILLED with Trump apologist. He literally said "was there any love?... Like there was in Germany"
It's not taking it too far. It's what he said. We don't need to figure out if he meant a prison guard or Germans in general. We don't need to excuse what he meant by adding precision he didn't add. According to Trump there was love for Jews in Nazi Germany.
I'm so glad to see at least a few people resisting the sanewashing.
Jesus fucking Christ. It is a sad day when a person that actually read the article and provided context and quotes to rebuke an obvious clickbait title is accused of sanewashing Trump.
Sometimes Lemmy can be a worse disinformation-spreading echo chamber than Reddit ever was. Be better.
I read the article, I saw the interview. He literally said "was there any love?... Like there was in Germany"
What I skipped is only a description of what Trump thinks love is (extra piece of bread and a wink) and that hamas didn't do it. The two clauses are literally directly connected.
I know it's hard to believe that's what he said. Unfortunately you'll have to accept it to deal with the modern reality.
