Donald Trump says he asked Israeli hostages whom he met at the White House whether Hamas “winked at them” while they were held captive.

During a meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office, the US prime minister added that he questioned the hostages whether the militants showed them “any sign of love” or “a meal on the side... like what happened in Germany.”

Sick, depraved, deluded. I wonder what version of history plays out in his perverted head about "what happened in Germany."

1. WTF?????

No words…

[mercuryblues]

2. I have lots of words

The best words. None of those words are fit to print.

[niyad]

17. I have words, too. Most of them would net me a visit from the suits, or

maybe the unpatched camo thugs.

[mercuryblues]

29. Follow me. I know a shortcut.

25. He also couldn't get over the idea that the parents of dead children actually wanted the bodies back.

He went on and on and on about it. He was amazed. Did his stupid-as-dirt roleplay bullshit “Even though they’re dead you still want them back? Oh yes sir it’s just as important to us.” He went on an on about how the parents still wanted the body. I guess that’s why he looks SO BORED at funerals. He doesn’t get the point. Ever. So if Ivanka died overseas and they couldn’t get her back in time to still be warm and gropeable, just keep the body? Discount shipping?

As a side note, it’s just occurred to me that at some point, someone (or ones) may have tried to slip him a little therapy via roleplay. That only works when the patient has at least a primary-level understanding of basic mammalian emotions.

3. Terrifying that Trump is in charge of anything.

Soulless creep

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Yesterday, I was flabbergasted to hear Alan Dershowitz defend TSF on this point.

He insisted that TSF never said "Nazi". Not all Germans were Nazis. There were "righteous" Germans who were kind to the persecuted Jews. That's what he meant. How dare you suggest that TSF was defending Nazis?!

[johnnyfins]

13. Dershowitz will defend TSF to the bitter end

TSF has the Epstein goods on "tighty whitey massage man". Thats for sure.

[intrepidity]

5. Da fuque?

the US prime minister

Trump is an idiot, but where are the proofreaders?

[TheRickles]

11. The Independent is a British newspaper, but still....

[gordianot]

6. Well in one one form or another ALL the hostages were grabbed

Trump probably winks at those he grabs

[harumph]

7. WTF does that even mean?

[Irish_Dem]

8. Trump has a sick story in his head about bondage, captivity, giving "favors."

When he talks about winking and love in this context it is quite creepy.

[k_buddy762]

9. Winked at them?

wtf is he talking about?

[haele]

14. Porn movie Scenario.

Perhaps also a reference to sub-plots concerning beautiful girls needing rescue that is popular action movies to titillate the pervy producers and mildly frustrated middle aged males watching them.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Trump identifies with the kidnapper.

The kidnapper who will grant special treatment to victims who provide favors.
And are cooperative.

[niyad]

19. Welcome to our DU family.

[Trueblue Texan]

10. That's it, you sick F**k! Violate them again!

GRRRRRRRRR!!! No Words!

[marble falls]

12. What sane person would even think of this, let alone express it?

[58Sunliner]

15. That is perp talk. Only a an abuser/sadist would say shit like this.

[Irish_Dem]

27. You are 100% correct. This is sadistic abuser talk.

[Biophilic]

16. Somehow with all the things trump has said and done this is the bit I can't shake.

It tells me so much about the man as well as those around him as well as those reporting what they all are doing and saying. This is the sickest thing to say that I can imagine and I can't get it out of my mind. This is the man leading our country. We deserve to go down.

[tetedur]

20. He models himself after the Germans who lost two world wars, specifically Hitler, and perpetrated of the Holocaust.

He is a loser. He is a sadist. He is destroying the economy of the world. He is insane. This will end in disaster. Yes we deserve everything that happens.

[Irish_Dem]

28. Yes America has lost its way. And will pay the price for it.

[Solly Mack]

18. That's the insidious twin to Holocaust denialism. The idea that the Holocaust happened but was somehow mitigated

by all the good Germans who protected or helped the victims. Taking the rare - and they were rare - instances of human decency by the few and deciding those acts were widespread instead of the reality of widespread complicity. Meant to downplay the horrors of the Holocaust and what the victims experienced.

Like slavery apologists saying, "But they were good to their slaves" or "They didn't beat their slaves". As if that somehow changed the brutality of slavery. As if that made some slave owners good people.

[IronLionZion]

21. This is why they don't want students to learn history in school

when you learn history from statues, or in his case movies, you may get some wrong ideas about what happened.

22. The US does not have a prime minister. AI written story? nt

Trump: Well, I can’t really say that, but I think it will be different and maybe a lot stronger.

[The president returns to the issue of the hostages.] But they were so happy when we made that first deal because we did get a lot out. I had people right in this office, this beautiful Oval Office, they came in, ten people, hostages, you know that. And I said to them, so how was it? And the stories they told me, as an example: I said to them, was there any sign of love? You were there, ten people. It’s only ten, but it’s pretty representative. Did the Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they wink at you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like you think of doing — like what happened in Germany, happened elsewhere, people would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress.
They said no. I said all of them. I said, did they ever wink at you, like you’ll be okay. You’re going to be okay. No, they didn’t do that. They’d slap us. The hatred is unbelievable and the lives, you know they lived in a pipe, not really a tunnel, it was a pipe. And they always thought they were suffocating, they were going to suffocate. And then they’d open up the pipe and it was like three and a half feet high. This isn’t, you know, we hear tunnels, bad, but pipes are worse. And the stories I heard were incredible. But I just said, was there any sign of potential love or affection? And there were none whatsoever. It was amazing to me. There was nothing like, here take this, just a little extra meal or something. They lived like hell.

I don’t know. They seemed to be, they were amazing to me, because they seemed to be pretty normal. They weren’t scarred, but I guarantee underneath they have to be scarred. And one was there for three hundred fifty-six days, another was there for about one hundred and eighty days, a long time. And these are people that have been really, really horribly treated. I’ve never seen anything like it, actually. I was very surprised to hear the answer.

32. Perhaps he's getting his history from old B movies.

Scene: Nazi interrogation room. A man is tied to a chair, face bloodied. A small stove with a cookpot simmering in the corner. A Nazi stands before him with a spoonful of stew.

Nazi: You can have all the stew you want. Just answer my questions about where all your fellow Jews are hiding.

Nazi winks at the prisoner.

End scene.
