Trump Claims Hitler Gave “Speech At The Eiffel Tower”

The New Jersey Advance reports:

He believed U.S. dominance of airports helped win the war for America’s independence. He said Frederick Douglass “has done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more” — 122 years after the former slave’s death. Trump referred to 9/11 as 7/11, and he theorized that the Spanish Flu of 1918 “probably ended” World War II. And on and on.

And now Trump has a new imaginary historical event: Adolf Hitler’s speech at the Eiffel Tower in Paris when the Germans occupied France during the Second World War. Trump conjured up the fantasy while talking to American troops in Qatar on Thursday, once again rubbing Europe’s nose in the fact that it needed the United States’ help to beat the Third Reich.

“We love France, right?” Trump said. “But I think we did a little more to win the war than France did. Do we agree? I don’t want to be a wise guy, but when Hitler made his speech at the Eiffel Tower, I would say that wasn’t exactly ideal.”
