He inaccurately accused Harris of calling him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/adolf-hitler\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Adolf Hitler<\/a> after the vice-president amplified Kelly\u2019s comments in a televised address before endorsing them in a CNN town hall meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump\u2019s angry fusillade came in social media posts amid the fallout from Kelly\u2019s comments in a New York Times interview in which he recalled the former US president repeatedly lauding Hitler\u2019s achievements when he was in the White House.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"5f51993c-6445-4a31-9b3f-b5c07d76998c\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:3,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Is Donald Trump a fascist? &quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;5f51993c-6445-4a31-9b3f-b5c07d76998c&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/sep\/21\/is-donald-trump-a-fascist&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In a separate interview with the Atlantic, Kelly described Trump lamenting that he did not have generals who were loyal in the way he believed German military commanders had been to Hitler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump responded on his <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Truth Social<\/a> platform, calling Kelly \u2013 who was his White House chief of staff for 18 months \u2013 a \u201cdegenerate\u2026..who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis guy had two qualities, which don\u2019t work well together,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHe was tough and dumb. John Kelly is a low life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Kelly told the Times that Trump \u201cfitted the general definition of a fascist\u201d and said he would rule as a dictator if elected again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In Wednesday\u2019s statement, Harris \u2013 who had been issuing increasingly strident warnings on the campaign trail about Trump\u2019s authoritarian outlook in the face of his increasingly threatening rhetoric \u2013 said the interview showed that he sought \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/23\/harris-trump-fascist-hitler-comments-election\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">unchecked power<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">She added that it was \u201cdeeply troubling and incredibly dangerous\u201d that he would \u201cinvoke\u201d Hitler. She later told the CNN moderator Anderson Cooper that she agreed that Trump was a fascist and praised Kelly for sending a \u201c911 call\u201d to the nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump responded with a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1849272632237056163\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">post on X<\/a> that received more than 20m views and 292,000 likes, accusing Harris of \u201cgoing so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and anything else that comes to her warped mind\u201d, because, he claimed, polls indicated she was losing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump\u2019s campaign\u2019s communications director, Steven Cheung, accused Harris of \u201cdangerous rhetoric\u201d which he said was \u201cdirectly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">However, Kelly\u2019s depiction of Trump as an undemocratic authoritarian was backed up by Elizabeth Neumann, a former deputy chief of staff in the homeland security department in his administration, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/10\/23\/elizabeth-neumann-john-kelly-trump-warnings-00185181%3E\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">told Politico<\/a> that he \u201cdoes not operate by the rule of law\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cDoes he have authoritarian tendencies? Yes,\u201d she said. \u201cIs he kind of leaning towards that ultra-nationalism component? Absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump\u2019s Republican supporters belittled Kelly\u2019s intervention. Chris Sununu, the Republican governor of New Hampshire, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/4950346-chris-sununu-kamala-harris-donald-trump-2024-election\/?amp_gsa=1&amp;amp_js_v=a9&amp;usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID&amp;tbref=hp%3E\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">called his portrayal <\/a>of the former president \u201can outrageous statement\u201d and said Trump\u2019s own record of extreme statements was \u201cbaked in\u201d to the electorate\u2019s assessment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI respect <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/people\/john-kelly\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">John Kelly <\/a>a lot, but obviously, everyone knows there\u2019s a huge personal relationship divide,\u201d Sununu told NewsNation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The row overshadowed other developments on the campaign trail, where the Republican nominee extended his catalogue of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/24\/trump-fire-jack-smith-hugh-hewitt\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">recent threats to Jack Smith<\/a>, the special counsel appointed by the justice department to investigate allegations that he tried to overturn the 2020 election and hide classified documents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Asked by the conservative broadcaster Hugh Hewitt whether he would grant himself a presidential pardon or fire Smith if elected, Trump said: \u201cIt\u2019s so easy. I would fire him within two seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">He also noted that \u201cwe got immunity from the supreme court,\u201d a reference to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/ng-interactive\/2024\/jul\/01\/supreme-court-decision-trump-immunity-ruling\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">ruling by the court\u2019s conservative majority<\/a> last June that presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts carried out in the line of duty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/24\/trump-fascist-reaction-john-kelly\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump has denounced his own former chief of staff, John Kelly, as a \u201cdegenerate\u201d and a \u201clow life\u201d after the former US Marine Corps general gained the backing of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=118033\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=118033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=118033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=118033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=118033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
