Former President Donald Trump denied claims made by his former chief of staff, John Kelly, that he is a fascist and compared him to Adolf Hitler. Kelly stated in an interview that Trump falls into the general definition of fascist and allegedly made comments praising Hitler’s actions. Trump fired back, accusing Kelly of seeking revenge for being fired, calling him a bully and a bad guy. Vice President Kamala Harris and her allies seized on Kelly’s remarks, while Trump and his supporters dismissed them as coming from a disgruntled former employee. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also criticized Kelly’s statements, highlighting the significance of a fellow Republican making such allegations. Trump insisted that he is not a fascist and is the opposite of Hitler. Critics argue that voters should consider the source of the allegations against Trump, questioning Kelly’s motives in making such claims. The controversy surrounding this issue underscores the ongoing political division and animosity within the Republican Party.
