I'm waiting for the two pros to come forward and admit they were beaten by the OSG.

Aide tried to stop Trump praising Hitler – by telling him Mussolini was ‘great guy’
Ex-president’s second chief of staff tried to convince him fascist dictator was ‘great guy in comparison’, John Kelly tells Jim Sciutto

Donald Trump’s second White House chief of staff tried to stop him praising Adolf Hitler in part by trying to convince the then president Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist dictator, was “a great guy in comparison”.
“He said, ‘Well, but Hitler did some good things,’” the retired marines general John Kelly told Jim Sciutto of CNN in an interview for a new book.
“I said, ‘Well, what?’ And he said, ‘Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing. I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.”
Kelly, a retired US Marine Corps general, was homeland security secretary in the Trump administration before becoming Trump’s second chief of staff. Resigning at the end of 2018, he eventually became a public opponent of his former boss.
Sciutto is a CNN anchor and national security analyst. His new book, The Return of Great Powers, will be published on Tuesday. CNN published a preview on Monday.
Kelly told Sciutto it was “pretty hard to believe” Trump “missed the Holocaust” in his assessment of Hitler, “and pretty hard to understand how he missed the 400,000 American GIs that were killed in the European theatre” of the second world war.
“But I think it’s more … the tough guy thing.”
Trump’s liking for authoritarian leaders, in particular Vladimir Putin of Russia, is well known. His remarks to Kelly about Hitler – like his former practice of keeping a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bed – have been reported before.
But Sciutto’s recounting of his conversation with Kelly comes amid resurgent fears over Trump’s authoritarian leanings, with Trump the presumptive Republican presidential nominee despite facing 91 criminal charges and multimillion-dollar civil defeats, and having seen off attempts to disqualify him for office.
Kelly’s remarks to Sciutto were published shortly after Trump welcomed to his Florida home Viktor Orbán, the strongman leader of Hungary.

I've heard people say that in a lot of respects, tfg is more like Mussolini than Hitler. I don't think that should be taken as a compliment.

In this episode, tfg appears to advocate forcing the sale of Facebook.

Napolitano said the comments came one week before Trump left office in 2021.
“I said, ‘you promised you would release the records of the JFK assassination.’”
“He said to me, ‘Judge, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either.’”
“And I said, ‘who's they? And what did they show you?’”
“‘And then he said, ‘Judge, someday when we're on the phone.’ And then he raised his voice, ‘And there aren't 15 people listening to the phone call,’ back to a normal voice. ‘I'll tell you.’”

Dementia seems to get to him. How would he have his BFF Xi get control of Zuckerberg? Would that not make the former guy look like a failure? Apart that he doe not realize that TikTok is a minority in the US when taken at world scale.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 6:32 pm In this episode, tfg appears to advocate forcing the sale of Facebook.

You've got that right. I don't understand why the news outlets who are not raving fans of tfg don't realize they have absolutely no safe space if tfg wins. That includes WaPo and The New York Times. Neither of them are being realistic or tough on him.

tfg was in Ohio today stumping for his chosen Senate candidate, Bernie Moreno. Saw a couple of short clips on CNN this afternoon. BORDER BORDER BORDER . Also, tfg really went off on Fani Willis in an incredibly insulting way making fun of her name and how it's pronounced and how HE interprets it. Insulting as hell. Guess the folks at F&F in the morning will think it's funny
