John Kelly said that while in office, the former president was frustrated that his generals didn't act like the German dictator's.
John Kelly, the retired Marine general and homeland security secretary who served 18 months in the Trump White House in 2017 and 2018, told The New York Times that Trump “prefers the dictator approach to government” in comments published Tuesday. His assessment adds to a growing chorus of warnings from former generals and high-ranking military officials who served under Trump and have recently described the former president as “a fascist to the core” and a “threat” to the country.
” Trump has “never accepted the fact that he wasn’t the most powerful man in the world—and by power, I mean an ability to do anything he wanted, anytime he wanted,” Kelly added. In a separate new interview with The Atlantic, the retired general confirmed reports that Trump had expressed envy for Hitler’s generals while in the White House. Kelly had to explain to the then president that it might not be appropriate to covet the military trappings of a genocidal dictator.
