    I don't think Trump wants to be Hitler but he loved how Hitler made the trains run on time.

    I don't know how much - if any - of it is made up.

    Regardless - the majority of the story concerns comments that Donald Trump has made about veterans, the military and injured veterans.... and John Kelly has confirmed those as true, including the quote he posted.

    I don't know if Trump in private actually complained about the cost of Guillen's funeral and said they were trying to extort him.... but that part doesn't pertain to most of the story.

    Yes but he specifically talks about Hitler. I get your point and am not really disagreeing. Trump is ignorant. We all know of Hitler. Hitler; Putin, and Kim Jong Un are his only frames of reference. He doesn’t know **** about Alexander The Great.

    His ignorance doesn’t excuse the lack empathy for Hitler’s victims

    Don't discount Trump's rhetoric against immigration and migrants.

    Considering how much debt Trump added to the economy during a good economy and then Covid, why would any rational person think we wouldn't be experiencing inflation.

    To the point in the to other thread, they don't think it'll impact them because they believe as a dictator, Trump will just do price controls, or if he can't do that he'll at least lie to them, and tell them what they want to hear. Keep in mind none of these people are really conservatives. Not one Trumper out there gives a damn about price controls. Not one Trump voter cares about that as long as it's Trump doing it and not an evil Democrat.

    Again... it's about how they feel. They are voting Trump because they know they will feel a certain way regardless of what the reality actually is.

    I am not - that is a key part of Trump's support - he is excellent at that.

    LA’s law enforcement is a local state issue. Law enforcement is experiencing staffing shortages everywhere. Crime is declining everywhere despite shortages. Thera is less crime than when Trump was in office .

    Lasttly would you like to wager on which candidate wins California?

    IMO trump wants the military to report to him, but in this country our military takes an oath to the Constitution. I think his love for dictators is they can tell the Military what to do and I am sure there are some shady stuff going out there..............Like Putin loves to toss enemies out of windows, trump wants to be able to do that to his enemies.

    I listened to John Kelly`s interview, he`s not out writing books, he doesn't do speeches and didn't really want to talk about this but he thought it was the right thing to do. After all his generals and inner circle of his first go round who will not endorse him, I put my money on Kelly

    Has there ever been a time in modern politics where the VP didn't support the Prez he served under? Hell, Pence was half the issue but at least he has a conscious

    But yea, all these RINO`s are just bitter :rolleyes:

    I find it extremely convenient that John Kelly, two weeks before the 2024 election, suddenly recalls a meeting he had with Trump four years ago.

    also, every single republican candidate since 1944 has been compared to Hitler.

    feign better outrage.

    I find it convenient our resident Warhawk army loving internet general would doubt a proven soldier for Trump

    By convenient I mean pitiful

    Every single one? Can't seem to remember John McCain being compared to Hitler...or even Mitt Romney. No one compared Sarah Palin to Hitler...we just all thought (rightfully so) that she was an idiot. Ted Cruz doesn't get compared to Hitler. The best comparison one could make of him is a cowardly rotting bag of mayonaise.

    Not to mention, this is not the first time John Kelly has said these things for the last couple of years. He might have added on lately but Kelly coming out against trumpybear isn't new.

    the Atlantic writes a thinly sourced article, with anonymous 2nd had sources, and then Kamala calls a press conference to "denounce" the purported conversation, thereby creating a new round of "is Trump a fascists Hitler admirer" stories....

    I think the democrats are desperate, and there are witnesses, on the record, who said this never happened.

    reductio ad Hiterlum.
