Nope, he did say exactly that. He felt very special about them and loves them. Transcript and video is not hard to find.
He literally called them special and said that he loved them. As in, he used the words "you're special" and "[I] love you". It's not ambiguous or subject to debate.

Trump did not select those specific people out for praise ("the people invading the Capitol in Camp Auschwitz t-shirts were special and he loves them" - philk10), which was the implication. philk10's comment is ambiguous, which then goes on a derail about what words were used.
He didn’t single out any specific group: it was all-inclusive. As in, including those individuals. This isn’t debatable or ambiguous, and it’s disingenuous bordering on willful misunderstanding of how words and language work to suggest otherwise.

"This" meaning the original point, was stated with an ambiguous point, as described.

I laid out the progression, but you are ignoring it with misplaced hubris. That's fine. Good luck with whatever.
