Former President Donald Trump denied making a controversial statement attributed to him during a recent encounter at a Cuban restaurant in Las Vegas. The reported comment in question was, 'I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.'
When asked about the reported comments, Trump firmly denied ever saying such a thing. He dismissed the source of the report, labeling it as a 'rag' that fabricates stories. Trump emphasized, 'No, I never said that. I would never say that. It’s a rag that he made up stories. He’s done it before. It’s a failing magazine. Right before the election, it’s just a failing magazine.'
Trump's response at the restaurant was in reaction to the inquiry about the reported statement and the credibility of the source. He expressed his disbelief in the accuracy of the claim and criticized the publication that published it.
The former President's denial of the alleged statement comes amidst ongoing scrutiny and controversy surrounding his past remarks and actions. Trump's comments at the Cuban restaurant in Las Vegas serve as his latest response to media reports and public discussions about his tenure in office.
