Unpacking John Kelly's warning about a second Trump term

John Kelly, who served as White House chief of staff under former President Donald Trump, told The New York Times in a new interview that Trump is "certainly an authoritarian" who "falls into the general definition of a fascist." Ray Mabus, former secretary of the U.S. Navy and Mississippi governor, joins "America Decides" with his reaction.

If we have any pride in our Country, our President ought to be a good role model for young people. Yes, others have failed to a greater or lesser degree. But nothing in Trump's past or present behavior meets even a very low bar.

No one remembers that in Trump's fist term he called the generals, HIS generals and the air force HIS planes? I heard it back then and knew EXACTLY what he meant.

Many people may not be aware of what Hitler was all about. Why don't the reporters give them a brief idea of just what he did and what he stood for?. It would make a difference of how things are perceived. This is very serious.

It sure took people long enough to say what so many of us have known from day one!

Among Thomas Jefferson's admonitions about the fledgling democracy, he noted the concern that the American government could degenerate into an "elective despotism". Looks like he was only off by 236 years.

Not funny McGee, Trumps no laughing matter.

Isn't this a "he said, she said" situation ? Many times, taken out of context.

[boboldbean]

Is this the “October Surprise” we have been waiting for?

[nyerineu]

Never forget, Charlottesville, Va, (Aug. 2017) with Nazis chanting 'Jews will not replace us!' tRump, 'There were good people on both sides?!?'

"This is the most dangerous time for American democracy since the Civil War." PLEASE save our democracy by voting blue!!!💙🇺🇸💙

Kelly came out in 2018 too. Milley also had said the same.

Unpacking BS from a Military Industrial Complex stooge

[TheRealJonnyBoBonny]

I heard the recording of him saying it! Well, I heard the recording of someone who he fired and hates him, saying he heard him say it. So it has to be true!! Do you Democrats hear yourselves?

[thebugkiller]

Looks like generals can be backstabbing swamp creatures too!!!

I just wish the cult members would wake up to themselves, but I think most of them can't be helped.
