Kelly's Fascist Allegations Against Trump Spark Debate

Recent statements by former Trump chief of staff John Kelly have reignited controversy over Donald Trump's alleged admiration for Adolf Hitler's generals, with Kelly describing Trump as meeting the definition of a fascist. Fox News host Howard Kurtz suggested these comments were private and unlikely to sway many voters, while Stephen Colbert humorously highlighted Trump's plan to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, a site of a historical pro-Nazi rally. Despite ongoing criticisms from former Trump officials like Kelly and others, including former DHS official Elizabeth Neumann who warns of Trump's authoritarian tendencies, Trump's supporters remain largely unmoved. This is evidenced by Fox News personalities like Brian Kilmeade who dispute the fascist label, viewing Trump's actions as a defense against undermining forces. The debate over Trump's alleged authoritarian leanings continues to be a point of contention as Election Day approaches.
