I wonder how Trump will react to these allegations.

Donald Trump said Adolf Hitler "did some good things" and praised Vladimir Putin on more than one occasion during his time in the White House, his former chief of staff has claimed.

Mr Trump, who is currently on the campaign trail and hoping to land a second stint as president, also repeatedly admired North Korea's Kim Jong Un, according to a new book.

General John Kelly, a retired marine who became the Trump administration's longest-serving chief of staff, makes allegations about Mr Trump's views in a forthcoming book by a CNN journalist.

Mr Kelly tells Jim Sciutto that the then-president "thought Putin was an OK guy and Kim was an OK guy" - before recalling a specific conversation they allegedly had about Hitler.

He says: "[Trump] said, 'well, but Hitler did some good things'. I said, 'well, what?' And he said, 'well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy'.
