You're participating in the old good tradition of sanewashing what Trump said. You don't need to interpret that jumble of sounds as charitably as possible, he doesn't deserve it, and he repeatedly showed that he actually means the worst most of the time. He said "nazis showed signs of love to holocaust victims" with his own stupid mouth. You don't need to excuse him by interpreting it as if he didn't say it.

Yeah but he kind of did anyway, reading from what you just posted there. That was an insane ramble

What do you mean hysterical headline? He said exactly what the headline said. In the full context he looks stupider but what he said is the same.

Why are you trying to defend a guy saying the Nazis were gooder than Hamas? Why would you ever take that fight unless you are a liar or stupid?

I'm reminded of the initial framework that Auschwitz used for Jews. Many of them came voluntarily, because the Germans were making vague promises of "We're planning a Jewish settlement where you will be safe, and kept separate from the German Aryan future." So I could be reaching, but maybe he's interpreting something around that - the idea of using "nice gestures" (lies) to lure people in and humanize themselves.

Of course, it's a reach in any regard to interpret something coherent from Donald Trump, especially when regarding history.
