John Kelly says Trump praised ‘Hitler’s generals’ for loyalty

Retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as White House chief of staff in the Trump administration, said former President Trump praised Adolf Hitler’s generals for their loyalty in a new interview in The Atlantic on Tuesday.

In the interview with editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, Kelly affirmed reporting from Peter Baker and Susan Glasser’s book, “The Divider: Trump in the White House,” which quoted Trump asking Kelly, his chief of staff at the time, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?”

According to Goldberg’s account of Baker and Glasser’s reporting, Kelly responded by explaining to Trump that the German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off,” but Trump reportedly was not swayed by the correction.

“No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” Trump said, according to Goldberg’s telling of Baker and Glasser’s reporting.

His fascination with Hitler is more than a little disturbing. Especially in light of his fascist proclivities.

And the key here, of course, is that the flock is fine with this. No problem. Full speed ahead.

We're re-living history. Who knew.

Assuming Trump wins, I wonder if they'll finally admit it.

 

[EMH]

In reality, one Party in America supports almost everything Hitler did.


1. socialism
2. gun control/confiscation
3. state sponsored DNA discrimination
4. censorship
5. use of a biased/controlled media to lie to the people
6. election fraud
7. hate hoaxes/ false flag attacks
8. state sponsored abortion
9. show trials for political opponents

 

[Lumpy 1]

Trump is unique in his fascism as he has no "vision for the country". Only a personal quest for power.

Well, and staying out of prison.

...and yet you love him ...

Another general says trump is the definition of fascism.

This is language up to now reserved for our global enemies.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Except a very clear demonstration that MAGA's patriotism is dead, and now their loyalty lies with a rapist charity thief beggar billionaire.

Fascinating.

 

[Blaster]

These generals are the ones that pushed for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and Milley bears responsibility for the disasterous withdrawal in Afghanistan. Trump was right to fire most of these clowns.

So again I wonder if this is what it was like 90 years ago. Did the followers just ignore the warning signs? Did they have their own set of facts? Were they naive to what was coming, despite the signs? And how many of them were ALL FOR what was coming?

But no mention of the Trump surrender agreement that gave the Taliban free reign.

That's cultism for ya!

 

[Blaster]

But no mention of the Trump surrender agreement that gave the Taliban free reign.

It was not a surrender agreement but Biden turned it into one. Facts are stubborn things.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It of course was a surrender agreement. Trump.gave up and retreated, not the taliban. Trump surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban. Get a grip.

Per Trump's rules of engagement in his surrender agreement, US forces had to stand there and watch.

I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about.

13 lifelong republicans who were in the Trump administration say the same thing as kelly

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly failed this test, consistently favoring Russian President Vladimir Putin over the interests of the American people and our closest allies. His pattern of capitulating to a dangerous foreign adversary undermines our nation's security and advances the Kremlin's interests. This troubling weakness cannot be ignored.

Trump publicly doubted the unanimous conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. He stated, "I don't see any reason why it would be [Russia]," effectively siding with Putin over his own intelligence community.

His own words, from his own campaign speeches, advocate fascist ideas, and I'm not talking about economics, although Trump loved nothing more than butting into the business practices of private corporations and trying to influence them to bend to his will. And his hatred of the military always put honorable men like Gen. Milley on the outs, and made our military very unpopular with MAGA.

Honorable institutions fall to fascism. Trump checks all the boxes.




Retired Gen. Mark A. Milley warned that former president Donald Trump is a “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this country” in new comments voicing his mounting alarm at the prospect of the Republican nominee’s election to another term, according to a forthcoming book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward.

Milley, 66, served for more than a year as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump before continuing in the role under President Joe Biden.

Upon stepping down in September 2023 after more than 40 years in the military, Milley laid out his apparent concerns about Trump in a pointed retirement speech. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, to a tyrant or dictator or wannabe dictator,” he said.

Woodward’s new book, “War,” due out Tuesday, follows Milley in the years after the Trump administration as he wrestles with escalating fears over the president he once served.

Milley was a source for Woodward’s 2021 book, “Peril,” sharing his worries about Trump’s mental stability and national security decisions, according to excerpts of his new book. Upon seeing Woodward again at a reception in March 2023, he told the author that his concerns had grown more dire.

“I glimpsed it when I talked to you back — for ‘Peril,’ but I now know it. I now know it,” he said.

“No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” the general told Woodward. “Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”

By the following year, Milley was receiving a “nonstop barrage of death threats” that he attributed to Trump’s political rhetoric and his fixation on retribution for his perceived enemies, Woodward writes.

After retiring, Milley installed bulletproof glass and blast-proof curtains at his home.

He also fears being recalled to uniform to be court-martialed “for disloyalty,” should Trump win against Vice President Kamala Harris in November, Woodward writes.

“He is a walking, talking advertisement of what he’s going to try to do,” Milley warned former colleagues, according to the book, in reference to a 2020 Oval Office meeting with Milley and former defense secretary, Mark T. Esper, in which Trump threatened to court-martial two military officers, Stanley McChrystal and William H. McRaven, who had been critical of the president after retiring.

All this crap a couple weeks from the election is just NOISE. Nobody's paying attention. Nobody cares.

Trump has a GREAT 4 year track record. He's the most INVESTIGATED and PERSECUTED man in America. Give it up. Accept your new president!
