He appears to be suggesting here that Nazis winked at prisoners in concentration camps and slipped them snacks to “show love.”
Trump: "I said to [the former hostages], was there any sign of love? Did Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like what happened in Germany."

Everyone is wondering why Trump supports tariffs, but he keeps explaining it live to camera: he wants to take us back to a 1870-style Guilded Age economy where oligarchs rules without an income tax and we regularly had financial crises due to a total absence of regulations.
Trump: "You know, our country was the strongest, believe it or not, from 1870 to 1913. You know why? It was all tariff based. We had no income tax." (This is nonsense.)

Most interesting thing in this exchange: Navarro claims the idiotic tariff formula was developed by CEA.
But I'm hearing indirectly that CEA instead blames Navarro for creating formula.

Donald Trump tried to withhold giving aid to Blue states
Because they didn’t vote for him
