I'm reminded of the initial framework that Auschwitz used for Jews. Many of them came voluntarily, because the Germans were making vague promises of "We're planning a Jewish settlement where you will be safe, and kept separate from the German Aryan future." So I could be reaching, but maybe he's interpreting something around that - the idea of using "nice gestures" (lies) to lure people in and humanize themselves.

Of course, it's a reach in any regard to interpret something coherent from Donald Trump, especially when regarding history.
