Did I read that right ?

He asked "was there any sign of love?"

And the answer was basically "no"

He didn't say that the Nazis did but he claimed it?

He didn't seem to say it outright, but that's enough for the liberal masses to skew his words

It was a bit of a rhetorical question I think. The quote was a bit difficult to read and it took me a couple tries to get it

“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

To detrumpify / reiterate, because reading what Trump says always feels like a stroke even if you're not experiencing one:

How "Germany" treated Jews, showing signs of love like:

Gave them 'help'
Liked them
Winking
Gave extra bread sometimes
Gave extra meals sometimes

How Hamas treated hostages:

Not as well as Nazis

Good lord. Apparently Auschwitz was a hot bed of *checks notes* undesired winking? /s

Yeah I thought I just have terrible reading comprehension skills because that quote took me a while to understand.

Yea, that's what I got from it too. I just couldn't believe what I was reading at first. I had to read it several times.
