Trump claims he is actually the “opposite” of Hitler

Donald Trump insisted of which he is actually the “opposite”. Adolf Hitlerafter his longest-serving Chief of Staff John Kelly he described him as a “fascist” who spoke warmly about the dictator of Nazi Germany.

Kelly issued a series of warnings on Tuesday, recalling that the former president had allegedly broken down praise of Hitler’s generals and said the tyrant who oversaw the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust did “some good things.”

On Thursday, Trump tried to downplay Kelly’s remarks talks to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin ahead of his Nevada, Las Vegas, campaign event.

“He declared that I was like Hitler. This… just couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, it’s quite the opposite,” he said.

said Kelly, a former Marine general Atlantic that Trump once praised the loyalty of Hitler’s generals to the dictator.

“You certainly can’t mean Hitler’s generals,” Kelly recalled the former president asking, suggesting instead that he meant the generals of Otto von Bismarck, the “Iron Chancellor” of the German Empire.

But Trump allegedly confirmed: “Yes, yes, Hitler’s generals.”

A former Trump employee also told the story New York Times that Trump “more than once commented, ‘You know, Hitler did some good things, too.'” For Kelly, Trump fits the “general definition” of a fascist.

Trump told another reporter in Las Vegas that he would “never say” Hitler did “good things,” then began shooting at Atlantic calling it a “failing magazine.”

Kelly, whom Trump once called the “true star” of his administration, had served as White House chief of staff since July 2017 and left in early January 2019 amid tensions with the former commander in chief.

“Years ago… I fired him,” Trump told Melugin. Kelly was not formally fired, but resigned as pressure mounted for him to leave his position.

“He was a tyrant, he was a bad man. And in the end, he turned out to be a weak guy because all bullies are weak,” Trump said. “And he wasn’t a smart guy, that’s a bad combination.”

The former president also decided to do so Kamala Harris after her agreed that Trump is a fascist during her CNN town hall in Pennsylvania on Wednesday evening.

After attacking her “horrible” town hall performance, Trump added: “She called me a fascist and everyone knows that’s not true. They call me everything until something sticks.

Earlier, Trump vented his fury over his Democratic presidential rival’s comments in a separate Truth Social post on Wednesday night, falsely claiming she called him Hitler.

“Comrade Kamala Harris sees that she is losing, and she is losing, especially after stealing the race from Hunchback Joe Biden, so now she is increasing her rhetoric more and more, even going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler and everything else in her twisted mind,” he wrote .

Harris and other Democrats used Kelly’s revelations to warn about the dangers of a second Trump administration.

At Harris’ campaign rally in Atlanta on Thursday night, former President Barack Obama warned that “just because he’s acting stupid” doesn’t mean Trump isn’t dangerous.

“Unlike the first time, he won’t have people like John Kelly around him to stop him,” Obama said.

“He will be surrounded by people who are just as crazy as he is and who will let him do whatever he wants. So my question to you, Georgia: How can this help you?”

The Democratic National Committee trolled Trump with his alleged comments putting up billboards outside on Thursday at a rally in Las Vegas, reading: “Trump: ‘I need generals like Hitler had.'”
