Trump's Alleged Fascist Tendencies Exposed by Former Chief of Staff

In a series of interviews, former White House chief of staff John Kelly labeled Donald Trump a fascist, criticizing his lack of understanding of the U.S. Constitution. Kelly's comments add to previous criticisms, as Trump denies being a threat to democracy amid ongoing political tensions.

In a startling revelation, John Kelly, the former White House chief of staff, publicly described Donald Trump as a fascist and criticized his authoritarian leanings. According to Kelly, Trump lacks fundamental knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.

During his tenure between 2017 and 2019, Kelly witnessed firsthand Trump's leadership style, which he alleges mirrors that of autocrats. The contentious relationship between the two has soured since Kelly's departure, with both figures clearly holding disdain for one another.

Meanwhile, Trump's campaign spokesman Steven Cheung dismissed these claims as untrue, while Democratic opponents, including Kamala Harris, argue that Trump's potential return poses a threat to democracy. Amid the heated political discourse, Kelly refrains from endorsing any candidate, citing his role as a former military officer.
