Got any proof he said this?

In their book, The Divider: Trump in the White House, Peter Baker and Susan Glasser reported that Trump asked John Kelly, his chief of staff at the time, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” Trump, at various points, had grown frustrated with military officials he deemed disloyal and disobedient. (Throughout the course of his presidency, Trump referred to flag officers as “my generals.”) According to Baker and Glasser, Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” This correction did not move Trump to reconsider his view: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president responded.

This week, I asked Kelly about their exchange. He told me that when Trump raised the subject of “German generals,” Kelly responded by asking, “‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’” He went on: “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’sgenerals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.” Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel.

How’s that proof?

This could be the dirt that actually sticks with middle aged conservative men. He doesn’t know who Rommel is?!

How’s that proof?

Prove that it didn’t happen

 

[bourbons]

So you're fine with all the other stuff he's on video saying, poisoning the blood of our country etc but this one is a bridge too far, so you'll go with the 'proof it happened' angle?

Quite the needle you're threading here to avoid any criticism of dear leader and his nazi-adjacent rhetoric

Prove that it didn’t happen

Prove that Harris didn’t say she wanted to murder all children.

When did I say that? Someone claiming he said something is far from proof…

 

[Financialpanther]

Prove that Trump doesn't want to have the military set upon US citizens...oh wait

 

[Satan]

Prove that Trump doesn't want to have the military set upon US citizens...oh wait

He was joking

 

[QuietB]

Prove that Trump doesn't want to have the military set upon US citizens...oh wait

Prove that Trump doesn't want to **** his own daughter....oh wait

It is astonishing that Christians vote for this man - yes that is him groping his own daughter

 

[blackshadow]

He was joking

I thought it was a concept.

How’s that proof?

You’re right that, on its own, it doesn’t meet the level of criminal proof. But with corroboration from others it might. And on its own it might meet the standard of “on the balance of probabilities” if you assess the reliability of the witness to be strong and you take into account all the things Trump is on record of saying.

 

[awaremind]

Its almost like it wasn't a deepstate plot after all but rather just 2 mentally ill people with ridiculously easy access to guns

Diddy was just a guy who liked to party Nothing to see here folks.
