As Election Nears, Kelly Warns Trump Would Rule Like a Dictator
John Kelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, said that he believed that Donald Trump met the definition of a fascist.

Few top officials spent more time behind closed doors in the White House with President Donald J. Trump than John F. Kelly, the former Marine general who was his longest-serving chief of staff.

With Election Day looming, Mr. Kelly — deeply bothered by Mr. Trump’s recent comments about employing the military against his domestic opponents — agreed to three on-the-record, recorded discussions with a reporter for The New York Times about the former president, providing some of his most wide-ranging comments yet about Mr. Trump’s fitness and character.

Mr. Kelly was homeland security secretary under Mr. Trump before moving to the White House in July 2017. He worked to carry out Mr. Trump’s agenda for nearly a year and a half. It was a tumultuous period in which he drew internal criticism over his own performance and grew disenchanted and distressed by conduct on the part of the president that he considered at times to be inappropriate and reflecting no understanding of the Constitution.

In the interviews, Mr. Kelly expanded on his previously expressed concerns and stressed that voters, in his view, should consider fitness and character when selecting a president, even more than a candidate’s stances on the issues.

The rubes don't care. They think they will somehow be immune to whatever horror ensues.

For this story the NYTimes took the unusual step of posting audio clips of Mike Schmidt's interviews with Trump's former chief of staff, Gen. John F. Kelly. Although they are also quoted, hearing his stories and him question Trump's character is powerful.

If the military does what he says, a piece of paper isn't going to stop him.

Legally? the supreme Court has issued a unitary immunity to Trump if he were president. He can do whatever he wants and as long as he justifies it as being part of the job, he is immune. They have already said they would change all federal employees to schedule F status and fire anyone who is not a loyalist. He has already said that he will use the US military to eradicate "the enemy within" - which includes political opponents, journalists, professors, democrats etc. He has already said ABC and CBS should have their licenses pulled. He has said he would round up "immigrants" and deport them. His loyalists will not care who is legal or illegal - if trump doesn't want them in the country, they are gone. Arabs, Muslins, Haitians, Latino's, whatever.

They are literally telling us exactly what they would do. They are not hiding it.

You willing to take that chance? Can you guarantee you won't be subjected to the whims of a corrupt dictator?
