The vice president of the United States and Democratic candidate for the presidential elections on November 5, Kamala Harris, made a surprise appearance this Wednesday at her official residence, the Naval Observatory. In a brief statement, he warned of the risks that his rival in the elections, the Republican Donald Trump, implies for democracy, following the revelations of his former chief of staff, John Kelly, and the former chief of the General Staff, Mark Milley, who worked with him. Both have defined Trump as a fascist and Milley has highlighted his admiration for Hitler. Harris has said Trump is increasingly “unhinged” and “unstable.” “It is deeply worrying and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump invokes Adolf Hitler,” said the vice president, in an act that was not planned on her agenda.
“Former Chief of Staff John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler. Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military loyal to the United States Constitution. He wants an army that is loyal to him. “He wants a military that is loyal to him, personally, that obeys his orders, even when he tells them to violate the law or abandon their oath to the United States Constitution,” Harris began.
“Over the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the ‘enemy within,’ and has even said he would use the US military to persecute American citizens. And let’s be clear about who you consider to be the enemy from within: anyone who refuses to bend the knee or dares to criticize you would qualify, in your mind, as the enemy within, like the judges, like the journalists, like the officials. non-partisan electoral processes”, he continued.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. All of this is further proof to the American people of who Donald Trump really is. “This is a window into who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the crisis room (of the White House),” he insisted. The Harris campaign is taking advantage of these statements by former members of his team to bombard him with negative publicity.
This Tuesday, the progressive magazine Atlantic attributed some explosive statements to Trump. “I need the type of generals that Hitler had,” Trump would have said in a private conversation in the White House when he was president, according to two people who heard him, said the media. “People who were totally loyal, who followed orders,” they explained. A Trump spokesperson, Alex Pfeiffer, responded to the magazine: “That is absolutely false. “President Trump never said this.” AND The New York Times He has published conversations with John Kelly in which he describes him as a “fascist” and warns that the way he wants to exercise power is that of a “dictator.”
Harris has seized on these revelations: “It is clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who, I quote, ‘certainly falls within the general definition of a fascist,’ who in fact swore to be a dictator from day one and He swore to use the military as his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas. Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be barriers against his propensities and actions. Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses would no longer be there to stop him. So the conclusion is the following. We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants power without control. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?” he concluded.
