As the election race in the US enters the final stretch, Republican candidate Donald Trump’s interest in dictators and his disparaging statements towards the American military are deepening. Former Marine Corps General John Kelly confirmed Trump’s statements that have been making headlines for months in two exclusive interviews. It was claimed that Trump asked Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” and claimed that Hitler’s generals were “completely loyal to him.”
With less than two weeks left until the US elections, the US press is scrutinizing the candidates’ latest status and statements. Former US President Donald Trump, who is running for the country’s highest office again, said that he needs generals who are completely loyal to him “like Hitler,” according to an article published in The Atlantic magazine.
“DONALD TRUMP FITS THE DEFINITION OF A FASCIST” The magazine based its claim on the statements of former Marine General John Kelly. Kelly claimed that Donald Trump fit the definition of a fascist and that he would run the country like a dictator if he won. Kelly stated that Trump’s suggestion to use military force against his domestic political enemies prompted him to take action on this issue and expressed his concerns.
“WHY CAN’T YOU BE LIKE THE GERMAN GENERALS?” Kelly also confirmed an incident that was first revealed in a book published in 2022. The book reportedly asked Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” and that Hitler’s generals were “completely loyal to him.” “I need the same gentle generals that Hitler had. People who are completely loyal to him, who follow orders,” Trump said during a meeting at the White House.
“HITLER DID GOOD THINGS TOO” Kelly also confirmed earlier reports that Trump had praised Hitler, telling the Times that Trump had told her “on more than one occasion”: “You know Hitler did good things too.” Ahead of an election in which Trump could return to the White House, what has drawn most attention is his apparent desire to wield military force and power over the military, as Hitler and other dictators did.
