Trump said Hitler ‘did some good things’ and wanted generals like the Nazis, former chief of staff Kelly claims
John Kelly served as Trump’s OWN CHIEF OF STAFF. Chief of Staff literally runs the White House.
We will hear the typical counter argument tropes. Attacking Kelly. Dismissing the journalists that report it. But it’s all bad faith cope.
Ask yourself, what does Kelly have to gain from this? He knows he is subjecting himself to abuse by having the courage to speak up. He just made his life a lot harder. It would have been a lot easier to stay quiet.
We have 3 of the highest ranking generals, all who worked with Trump, warning the nation. Military leadership absolutely hates speaking on any political matters whatsoever. They take an oath to the Constitution. This has been the hallmark of what has kept our nation safe and stable, is the military has always answered to civilian leadership, and stays out of politics. So, for these 3 men to speak up is unprecedented.
Once again, this is indefensible. This is who Trump is. Huge numbers of Trump’s former staff come out to warn the nation.
America has been shown the evidence. The pro Democracy coalition knows they can sleep at night with their choice.
John Kelly's new warnings came just two weeks before Election Day, as former President Donald Trump seeks a second term vowing to dramatically expand his use of the military at home and suggesting he would use force to go after Americans he considers “enemies from within.”
