Washington, DC…Vice President Kamala Harris called out former President Donald Trump for saying he wanted U.S. military generals to behave like Nazi leader Adolph Hilter’s generals — who Trump believes demonstrated unquestioning loyalty to their leader.
“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. … He wants a military who will be loyal to him, personally — one that will obey his orders, even when he tells them to break the law or abandon to their oath to the Constitution of the United States,” she said Wednesday at her vice-presidential residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory. “It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. All of this is further evidence into who Donald Trump really is.”
Trump’s reported comments were shared by John Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general who served Trump as both Homeland Security secretary and White House chief of staff from 2017-2019, and published in The Atlantic magazine.
“He told me that when Trump raised the subject of ‘German generals,’ Kelly responded by asking, ‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’ He went on: ’I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, “Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.’ Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel,” Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic and the moderator of Washington Week with The Atlantic, reported.

Well if all else fails “Trump is actually Hitler” is the plan? Not sure how you explain away that he was the most pro Jewish president in history? We may be Marxists but Trump is Hitler so vote for us?
This is what MAGA is all about- a dictatorship. Project 2025 is the full plan.
The MAGAs have always wanted an authoritarian government.
The don has told you many, many times. He has conditioned many to just look past it.
They ignore our Constitution, and judicial system, and break laws as the don did with SCOTUS approval.
The election is a joke. The media is owned, captured by the billionaires who want MAGA, that is clear.
Putin and other countries are hard ay work in the media with a n aggressive misinformation campaign, that the don parrots. Fox also parrots Putin’s lies.
2024 will be on the headstone of America’s Democracy, the year Democracy was stolen.
bush had this ,a SCOTUS coup, ignore the vote by stopping the vote count. then all the debasing of America’s honor.
RIP Democracy, it was good while we had it.
Like Ben said, “If you can keep it…”
She is absolutely correct – he indicates this on a daily basis and has for quite some time now. He seems to idolize the dictators of the world and longs to be one.
Kinda like Joie and the Ho?
If your going to provide us with this “cheap shot” then publish the facts to back it up, otherwise this is bad gossip at best!
Kinda reminds me of the BS we went through during Covid with Joie, the Ho, Dr. Fauci, and the rest of them sh it for brains libtards! You talk about controlling the masses, these 3 plus his entire cabinet did a pretty good job of controlling the masses, till we caught on and told them to shove their social distancing, Covid boosters, idiots driving around in their cars (alone) with masks on! You want to talk about a dictator!
Brain washing by a cult leader at its best.
Kamala did Willie have a big one?
not as big as the snivelers monster!!
Has anyone dug into The Ho’s history with abortions, especially in the yrs when Willie was being serviced by her everyday and night!
The comments from the MAGAs show uneducated crude comments are all they have.
Being they are who they are , do you want this group including their fascist leader don the convicted felon , able to imprison, deport anyone they wish?
What has happened to America?
The rhetoric from the GOP is identical to 1930’s Germany.
Is this what America become?
One party does-GOP
The other does not- Dems.
Your choice, but be prepared for a coup either in the House and SCOTUS as we saw with bush.
A headline of this week that was quickly ignored and shoved under the rug by the TARDS, “ 70% of ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES THAT WE’RE SENT HOME FROM THE COVID DAYS NEVER RETURNED TO THE FEDERAL BUILDINGS THEY WORKED FROM,SUPPOSEDLY WORKING FROM HOME”. If I was in charge, you would have 7 days to get your s hit together or your stall will be gone! No exceptions! Joie and the Ho have been ignoring this fact, while you and I pay these lackeys pay checks, pensions. Not to mention the rent or leases for this bloated government! Just another reason to vote for TRUMP!
All of you TARDS SHOULD TUNE INTO FOX, THERE IS AN ILLEGAL CARAVAN IN MEXICO RIGHT NOW, POSSIBLY 150,000+ plus illegals waiting to assault our border, and if the Ho wins, in they come, lock stock and barrel, no vetting, just come on in, you Tards are beyond ignorant!
IF YOU KNOW HISTORY AT ALL JEWS WERE ROUNDED UP IN ALL OF EUROPE, THE ILLEGALS ARE JUST THAT ILLEGALS, THEY WILL BE ROUNDED UP, THROWN OUT, BECAUSE THEY BROKE OUR LAWS! THE JEWS HADNT BROKEN ANY LAW EXCEPT TO BE BORN AND HITLER AND STALIN AND MUSSOLINI CAME FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLACE.
SO YOUR OK WITH ILLEGALS INVADING OUR COUNTRY, ATLEAST 100 MILLION OF US ARENT,SO TELL ME ARE YOU A SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST OR A DUMB ASS OR ALL THREE?
Be afraid, very afraid. add hate, so be afraid, hate, oh and very angry.
Great posts, and message- Be afraid, hate, and angry.
That’s the MAGA way !
Trumps new digs will be the White House!
I have a trip planned to Dixon tomorrow! I made sure my tampons were resupplied, almost forgot my phone charger, by the way I have been using tampons everyday since Tampon Tim arrived on the scene, I’m really getting tired of spending my grocery money on an item that isn’t edible, comes out with a garden vegetable attached, or some type of Mexican food! I hope to visit the tomato packing facility, then try to catch some perch in a drainage ditch.
We are Nazis, we are Nazis, who are you, who are you, kiss my ass, kiss my ass, the thrill is gone, I am confirmed why I’ve never liked Bruce Springsteen, the govt is going to control price gouging, what else Tards?
Obama is the new Al Sharpton, his whole presidency was divide and conquer!
The above four comments are definite proof that Trumps attempts to cultisize his base have been successful. Look at the points these brain dead zombies try to make. Make no sense. Like Trumps most recent “press conferences”. YMCA!!!!!!!! Pavarotti!!!!! Eat cats and dogs!!! Electrocuted while avoiding sharks!!!!! “Concepts” of a medical plan!!!! Kamala’s “low intelligence”, “dumb”, “suddenly black”. Wanting Generals like Hitler Had!!! Insulting military veteran 4 star generals that have more guts in their little pinkies’ than that draft dodger could ever imagine having!!! Admiring Arnold Palmer’s penis!!! The list is tooooooooooo long to put down on record.
And you want this loser for your President???? Shows how fuked up you are.
