Will Trump supporters disregard John Kelly's criticism?
The media is still comparing the ex-president to the man with a small mustache.
This year, there were rumors about when the Biden campaign would adopt a more authoritarian approach.
If they began discussing Donald Trump and the Nazi leader so early, what weapons would they possess for October?
The Hitler attack has commenced in late October.
Trump has been compared to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini by his detractors in the media, and has been depicted with a mustache in magazines. He has been dismissed as an aspiring dictator who would destroy American democracy, with few constraints in his second term.
John Kelly, former chief of staff, criticizes his ex-boss in three interviews with the New York Times.
A retired Marine Corps general who lost a son in Afghanistan, Kelly, stated that he was going public due to his discomfort with Trump's attacks on "the enemy within," which he believed included Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. Additionally, Kelly was concerned that Trump might utilize the military against Americans.
According to the Times audio, Kelly defines Trump as a fascist and in the context of wanting his generals, including Kelly and Mattis, to be personally loyal to him, Trump has stated multiple times that "Hitler did some good things, too."
Kelly stated that he conveyed to the president that it was inappropriate to make that statement and provided a brief overview of Nazi Germany's history, including the fact that Hitler's generals attempted to assassinate him multiple times.
The Atlantic reported that Trump referred to soldiers as "losers" and "suckers" and could not comprehend their sacrifices, citing Kelly as a source.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung retorted, asserting that the former official was peddling "disproven narratives," had "embarrassed" himself and was afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Will John Kelly's remarks influence the opinions of any Trump supporters?
They may dismiss the comments as old news, say Trump didn't really mean it, he was just letting off steam, or question Kelly's motivation in going public in the final stretch of the campaign.
I don't agree with everything Trump says, just as I don't agree with everything Kamala Harris says.
How many Trump voters, after experiencing nine years of media criticism and witnessing the events of January 6, are likely to abandon him? In my opinion, the number is likely to be very small.
Yesterday's bombshell was detonated by a man who was the highest-ranking staffer in the Trump White House, giving the vice president an opening to make a statement to reporters in Washington without taking questions.
Harris stated that it is deeply concerning and extremely dangerous that Trump invoked Hitler, the man responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. This serves as further evidence of who Trump truly is, according to Harris.
I had a private conversation with Kelly at a White House gathering, and when I glanced around, I saw 10 other journalists gathered around us, eager to hear what the elusive Homeland Security secretary had to say. At that moment, Kelly was being praised as the man who would bring order to the chaotic White House following Reince Priebus' departure.
The "full Hitler" moment has arrived. The impact on a candidate who has survived two impeachments, the fallout after Jan. 6, and two assassination attempts is uncertain.
