Claim:
Former U.S. President Donald Trump said Adolf Hitler “did some good things.”
Reasoning:
The quote originated with an anecdote told by Gen. John Kelly, a Trump chief of staff, but its authenticity has more than once been denied by Trump’s spokespersons. Without further corroboration from witnesses or audio or video recordings, we are unable to confirm whether Trump actually made such a remark. Kelly and other former senior advisers told that Trump would praise despots in private and on the campaign trail. According to Kelly, Trump said, “Well, but Hitler did some good things.” However, we have no firsthand corroboration of this through other witnesses or audio or video footage. As such, we rate this claim as “Unproven.”
Fact or Fiction?
Unproven. The context and sources surrounding the claim do not provide enough evidence to support the claim that Donald Trump said Adolf Hitler “did some good things.”
