Former US President Donald Trump, who is once again running for the country's highest office, said that he needs completely loyal generals like "Hitler had," claims an article published in The Atlantic monthly on Tuesday.

According to two sources, during a conversation at the White House, Trump had said: "I need the kind generals that Hitler had. People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders."

Also, The Atlantic quoted the words of Trump's ex-chief of staff John Kelly. According to him, Trump allegedly noted the loyalty of Hitler's generals.
