This smells like Elon and Kanye
Eww imagine the smell of them both.
Excuse me what the fuck
In other words, while Trump did not say the words, "Nazis treated Jewish prisoners with love," he did compare the way Hamas treated Israeli hostages with the way Germans treated Jewish people in the context of World War II and the Holocaust. In the latter, Nazi Germany systematically killed 6 million Jews, either by bullets or in concentration and extermination camps.
Trump appeared to suggest that the Germans treated their Jewish prisoners better than Hamas treated theirs. His argument was that people in Germany "and elsewhere" showed more sympathy and humanity to their prisoners with comforting gestures or food, while Hamas offered its hostages no "love or affection.
Bear with me:
Suppose there was a concentration camp that was basically an involuntary hotel/spa. Where the guards waited on the internees like servants. Even then, the existence of Auschwitz or Bergen-Belsen with their incredible threat of violence would hang over every internee who might get transferred. Therefore even our imaginary pleasant concentration camp enforces order with violence.
In the antebellum South, the phrase for this principal was being "sold down the river" where enslaved people who cause trouble were offloaded to worse conditions. So remember that if you ever hear about "kind" slavers.
It's not surprising that apologists for confederates and apologists for Nazis are working off the same script.

Hitler called Jim crow the model that Germany must follow, and the Nuremberg Laws were a direct ripoff .
Black GIs came back from liberating Europe to be lynched for being 'uppity'.
The southern strategy wins again.
Well, since he's obviously a sociopath, the way they treated Jews probably does fit his twisted idea of "love".
