“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

Sounds like he's talking about Germans in general to me, while the article immediately says that he must mean Nazis.

There's a lot of dumb shit Trump says. I don't think this is one of those things (his comparison between the holocaust and the hostages is still weird, but that's typical "par for the course").

he's specifically asking about the treatment from Hamas and his examples don't make sense in the context of just Germans.. winking? giving an extra piece of bread?

His language is always tough to interpret but I've read the full quote several times now and I don't see how it makes sense unless he's comparing the hostage treatment from Hamas to the Nazis' treatment of the Jewish people.

I don't think he's saying that the Nazis loved the Jewish people but I also don't think that's what the headline says either.

Yep, exactly that. Really no need to make up stupid shit he says. There's enough of real stupid shit he actually says.
