Melania Trump said her husband from the latest onslaught of accusations that former President Donald Trump praised Adolf Hitler, USA Today reported. The former first lady said on Fox&Friends Tuesday that her husband "is not Hitler" while promoting her New York Times bestselling memoir.
The ridiculous narrative resurfaced after former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly told the media that the former president made positive remarks about Hitler and the Nazi regime while in office. Kelly revealed this only in the final days of the 2024 presidential election.
During an interview on the Fox News program, Melania Trump set the record straight as the Trump family is forced to split with the media narratives. "He’s not Hitler, and all of his supporters, [they’re] standing behind him because they want [to] see [the] country successful, and we see how — what kind of support he has," she said.
During the interview, Melania Trump countered the reports by the New York Times and The Atlantic. "He loves his country, and he wants to make it successful and to — for all of the people," the former first lady said.
"You know, he — he loves people, and he wants to make this country great again," she added. Earlier in the interview, Melania Trump said she believes her husband has a solid chance of winning on Election Day.
"I feel it's kind of the same like 2016, the support out there. It's incredible. It's just, people see what's going on in the country and what kind of leadership they want," Melania Trump said.
"They want prosperity. They want American dream coming back, so that's what we will decide on November 5th," the former first lady shared.
In the past, Melania Trump broke with the rest of the Trump family as only a background figure. However, that has changed as the 2024 presidential election draws nearer, including an appearance on behalf of her husband at his rally at Madison Square Garden this week.
The final push before Election Day has brought the left back to its trusty Trump-is-Hitler narrative. The impetus for revisiting it came from Kelly, who Donald Trump said he had fired due to incompetence, Newsweek reported.
The former president said Kelly was "the dumbest of my Military people" who was "incapable of doing a good job; it was too much for him, and I couldn't stand the guy, so I fired him like a 'dog,'" Trump said on his Truth Social last year. Perhaps this explains Kelly's sudden recollection of something Donald Trump supposedly uttered several years ago.
According to the leftist news outlets, Trump said, "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had. People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders."
The report named Kelly as one of "two people who heard him say this." Kelly was Trump's chief of staff between 2017 and 2019 and most certainly would have an ax to grind with this former boss.
This entire controversy seems fabricated from start to finish. Nevertheless, it demonstrates that Melania Trump is a class act in the face of cruel attacks from her family's enemies.
