In a recent press conference that left many scratching their heads, Donald Trump made a claim so unbelievable it could land a starring role in a psychiatric ward sketch. While sharing a podium with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he suggested that Nazis might have had a soft spot for their Jewish prisoners. Yes, you heard that right! Yet, if you think that's crazy, just remember when Netanyahu stepped up to defend Elon Musk after the billionaire’s Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration. It seems that when confronting the horrors of history, all these two see is a sprinkle of “brotherly” love!
As Trump geared up to discuss the serious matter of 59 Israeli hostages captured by Hamas, he sidestepped the issue with his classic style, embarking on a surreal journey down memory lane.
Social media was quick to react, with one user quipping, “This isn’t just delusional; it’s history dressed in a Halloween costume!" Another added, “Equating hostage situations to victims of the Nazis isn’t just offensive; it’s a complete reimagining of history—like someone mistaking a serious documentary for a comedy sketch.” And let’s not forget: Trump was sharing the stage with Netanyahu, making this surreal moment that much more mind-boggling.
“I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.
“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.
“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.
“No, they didn’t do that, they’d slap us,” Trump said the hostages told him about Hamas, while sitting next to the man who is currently leading Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “Their hatred is unbelievable.”
Remember, Benny?
So you think Trump is the only one insane in this picture? Netanyahu himself had stepped up to defend Elon Musk after the billionaire’s recent, um, enthusiastic salute at Trump’s inauguration—something that, to some, may have looked a bit too much like a nod to neo-Nazis. Netanyahu came swinging with a statement declaring Musk a “great friend of Israel,” because nothing says “support for a nation” quite like a controversial salute, right?
“Hey, don’t blame him!” Netanyahu urged, suggesting Musk’s visits to Israel after the October 7 tragedy prove he’s not antisemitic. And the crowd went wild...with mixed reactions. Many critics were quick to eye-roll at the suggestion that keeping a buddy close was more important than tackling antisemitism head-on.
So, in a comedy of errors that could only happen in today’s world, we find ourselves on a rollercoaster of claims, misunderstandings, and a desperate need for a history lesson—preferably one with some actual facts and fewer “love” stories.
