Excellent example how media twists words.



Can you explain what you think is being twisted?

> “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?”

That sure seems like he’s saying the Jews’ captors showed mercy in ways which we know did not happen on anything like a wide scale.


> “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?”

I dunno, this sounds about as tone-deaf as I was expecting. I was never taught that Nazi Germany showed signs of helping and liking the inhabitants of their concentration camps.
