Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsABC World News Tonight's lead story is John Kelly's interview where he described Trump's
statements about wanting generals like Hitler's and that he fits the definition of a fascist.
They are playing the tapes.
Also played Harris's statement on Trump's remarks as revealed by Kelly.
It looks like this is getting wide coverage.

Nikki Haley is already out there trying to make the Afghanistan withdrawal the story again. God I hope it doesn't work.

"I heard gunshots, someone shot at my car"
"evidence" is the difference
A very small slice of the Trump MAGA crowd or undecideds will believe verbal allegations.
The last 8 years have proven that.
A recording or another witness is PROOF.
Personally I believe Kelly because IMHO it's consistent with Trump's known proclivities.

The first Chief of General Staff of Hitler was General Ludwig Beck.
He was played by Terence Stamp in the movie Valkyrie.
He resigned in August 1938 and plotted with others against Hitler.
There were multiple attempts against Hitler before Stauffenberg's attempt.

(673 posts)...then the media still isn't taking the Trump threat seriously.
I predict the front-page treatment of Trump's fascism, wanting Hitler's generals, and wanting to use the military against political foes never reaches the intensity of the Biden feeding frenzy, and fades into the background in 48 hours, maybe 72 if we're lucky.
