Wall Street Journal White House reporter Michael C. Bender reveals that former President Trump allegedly praised Adolf Hitler's role in Germany's economic recovery in the 1930s as evidence that the Führer "did a lot of good things."

It is easy to get bogged down in the shock value of a sitting president giving Hitler's economy an approving nod. But in the case of Hitler's economy, Trump is not exceptional.

although White House chief of staff John Kelly was reportedly appalled by Trump's statement, he acknowledged the possibility that Hitler "was solely responsible for rebuilding the economy" with the caveat that those economic accomplishments didn't balance out subsequent Nazi atrocities.

The implication that Hitler's economic accomplishments could potentially offset the Holocaust is unsettling on its face. It's also ignores the inconvenient fact that Hitler's economy wasn't detached from Nazi atrocities.

The breaking news about Trump's nescient comment to John Kelly, although hardly surprising, sheds further light on the former president's priorities. But ultimately, it is less important in evaluating Trump as a person than in drawing attention to one of the most pressing questions of our time: How long will we continue to justify inhumane means in the pursuit of good economic ends

Who cheers for that. What does that look like? Do they have huge gatherings where this is done?
Mein Kampf has been in publication since it was written. It is a crappy book.

Bad people occasionally do good things.
Acknowledgement of same isn't equivalent to approval and validation of the bad person.

Also, desired goals are at times accomplished by morally unacceptable means.
That also figures into the assessment.

It doesn't mean that the goal wasn't a good one.
It merely means than an acceptable means to get there had not yet been manifested in thought and execution,
so an unacceptable means was prematurely deployed.

What good comes from the evil is still good, but the perpetrators of the means are still not exculpated by that fact.
 
Actually, Hitler did what Democrats in the US are doing today. He spent on a credit card and maxed out Germany's debt. In part, he covered that with property confiscated from Jews and other undesirables, but the German economy was headed for a crash. Hitler got around that by going to war. He expropriated the economies of other European nations he conquered to stretch that economic reckoning out longer. But the Nazi economy was not one of true economic prosperity but rather one on borrowed time.
