If it makes you feel any better, Trump was quoting Napoleon.
You can tell he was quoting someone else because the sentence makes grammatical sense
Everyone who fights the British is redeemable in some way, but no, that's not a whole lot better.
The guy who tried to take over Europe was arrested and banished (to run a tropical island, so like most rich and powerful was given a super kushy "punishment" that's more like a forced retirement), returned and tried to take over Europe a second time and was banished again (this time to an actually unpleasant island off the coast of Africa under active guard) might not be the best person for trump to be quoting in this context...
During his banishment to Corsica, Napoleon fully modernized the island by updating and standardizing education, road building and performed other administrative duties in the government.
