Compared to what he did say:

Journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser said in their 2022 book The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 that Trump had asked Kelly "why can't you be like the German generals?" When Kelly replied that German generals "tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off" Trump reportedly replied: "No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him."

Thank God he still has the unswerving support of the states of the former confederacy.
