Former President Donald Trump responded to comments made by his former chief of staff John Kelly, denying accusations that he is a fascist and claiming to be the opposite of Adolf Hitler. Kelly had told The New York Times that Trump fit the dictionary definition of a fascist and alleged that Trump had made comments in support of Hitler. Trump fired back, accusing Kelly of seeking revenge for his dismissal and criticizing his character. Vice President Kamala Harris and her allies have highlighted Kelly’s remarks, while Trump and his supporters have dismissed them as being motivated by personal animosity. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg weighed in on the controversy, noting the significance of a fellow Republican making such accusations against Trump. The back-and-forth between Trump and Kelly has reignited debates over Trump’s leadership style and character, with opponents urging voters to consider the source of the allegations.
