Trump’s most senior official, the White House, criticized his former manager and claimed that he complied with the concept of nazi. In a contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris only two days before the vote, John Kelly claimed that Trump had a reputation for praising Adolf Hitler and would seek to rule as a despot.
” It’s a far-right conservative, ultranationalist political philosophy and movement characterised by a authoritarian leader, central autocracy, war, forced reduction of opposition, belief in a healthy social hierarchy”, Kelly said.
” Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. But he definitely falls into the common definition of totalitarian, for sure”.
Who is John Kelly and what’s his meat with Donald Trump?
Kelly joined the Marine Corps in 1970 and led the Multinational Force-West in Iraq during the first year of Barack Obama’s president. Donald Trump asked him to serve as his secretary of homeland safety after he retired as a four-star standard in 2016. After six weeks, John Kelly became the Chief of Staff.
About a year later, studies claimed Kelly began calling Trump an idiot, even though Kelly did not immediately recognize it. Trump was all compliments about Kelly when he took his place in 2018.
After leaving Trump’s presidency, John Kelly started to condemn him and Trump also spoke ill of him. Trump claimed that he should never hold the position of Chief of Staff. ” He came in with a bang, went out with a whimper, but like so many X’s, he misses the action &, just ca n’t keep his mouth shut”, Trump once wrote.
John Kelly said he would help using the 25th Amendment to reduce Trump from office during the Capitol Riots.
In 2023, Kelly made the revelation that Trump disparaged British soldiers who were hurt and killed in battle and that he had personally called Marines” su**ers” for getting killed.
What John Kelly said about Trump in NYT interview
- John Kelly argued that having the wrong guy elected to great office is a very dangerous thing.
- Trump embodies the concept of a totalitarian, would rule like a tyrant if necessary, and lacked knowledge of the Constitution or the idea of the rule of law, Kelly said. ” Well, looking at the concept of authoritarianism: It’s a far-right conservative, ultranationalist political philosophy and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, consolidated autocracy, war, forced suppression of criticism, belief in a healthy social hierarchy”, he said.
- Trump made admirable remarks about Hitler, and he had disrespected soldiers who were impaired.
Trump’s campaign called Kelly a villain after his claimed. Steven Cheung, a Trump plan spokesperson, said the reports that Kelly said had been debunked by the White House and Kelly had “beclowned” himself.
