Trump Is Fascist Who Loves Hitler, John Kelly Warns in Explosive Audio

Trump’s former chief of staff is sounding the alarm about Donald Trump threatening to use the military against his opponents, saying that the former president is a “fascist” who would govern like a dictator.Retired General John Kelly spoke to The New York Times for an article published Tuesday about his fears that Trump would disregard the Constitution and the rule of law if elected president, confirming that Trump has praised Adolf Hitler on different occasions and put down disabled veterans.During the interview, when asked if Trump was a fascist, Kelly read a definition of fascism from the internet, and said that Trump definitely prefers that philosophy. “Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators—he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure,” Kelly said. “He certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.”Kelly on tape saying: He certainly falls into the general definition of a fascist for sure. pic.twitter.com/c1vajJtHlP— Acyn (@Acyn) October 23, 2024Kelly said that after he left the White House in 2019, he decided that he would only speak out publicly if Trump spoke inaccurately about him, or said something egregious.

The fact that a senior White House official is coming out vehemently against Trump in late October, only weeks away from the election, is a stark warning for the country. Kelly clearly fears what would happen if the former president and convicted felon would return to the White House and take revenge for slights real and imagined. The question is whether these fears will make a difference to voters.

Trump’s former chief of staff is sounding the alarm about Donald Trump threatening to use the military against his opponents, saying that the former president is a “fascist” who would govern like a dictator.

Retired General John Kelly spoke to The New York Times for an article published Tuesday about his fears that Trump would disregard the Constitution and the rule of law if elected president, confirming that Trump has praised Adolf Hitler on different occasions and put down disabled veterans.

During the interview, when asked if Trump was a fascist, Kelly read a definition of fascism from the internet, and said that Trump definitely prefers that philosophy.
