Former President Donald Trump responded to comments made by his former chief of staff, John Kelly, who accused Trump of being a fascist and likened him to Adolf Hitler. Trump denied these allegations, stating that he is not a fascist and is actually the opposite of Hitler. Kelly also claimed that Trump had mentioned that Hitler had done some good things, which Trump dismissed as revenge for firing him.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her allies have highlighted Kelly’s remarks, with Kelly citing the dictionary definition of fascism to support his claim. Trump, on the other hand, portrayed Kelly as a bully and a bad guy who was seeking revenge for his dismissal. Trump’s supporters suggested that voters should consider the source of these allegations against him.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg weighed in on the controversy, stating that while it may be expected for leftist groups to call Trump a fascist, it is surprising when fellow Republicans, such as Kelly, make such accusations. Overall, the comments and reactions to Kelly’s accusations have sparked a debate over Trump’s leadership and character.
