Well, they’re losing big time and Trump’s landslide in November is looming so they bring out the last refuge of a liberal.
Journalists and political commentators responded on social media to an article from The Atlantic comparing former President Trump to multiple fascist dictators, including Adolf Hitler.
The Atlantic article, headlined, “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” was published Friday.
“The former president has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics,” Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum argued.
“When you spend 8 years calling a person every bad name you can think of — including Hitler — only to see that it’s not working, so you desperately decide the only thing left for you to do is call him all the bad names at once,” independent journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote on X in response to the harsh headline.
RealClearPolitics co-founder and president Tom Bevan mocked the over-the-top nature of the headline, saying, “The Atlantic with a threefer.”
Margot Cleveland, senior legal correspondent for The Federalist, responded, “When Hitler isn’t bad enough!”
John Kelly, who was Trump’s former chief of staff, jumped on the smear bandwagon:
With just 12 days left before Election Day, the Democrats and their allies are pulling out all the stops, launching baseless attacks to smear President Trump.
On Wednesday, Kamala Harris pushed a tired, debunked hoax published by The Atlantic, being owned by a Kamala’s personal friend Laurene Powell Jobs.
Harris seized upon a claim from Trump’s former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, who conveniently “remembered” just in time for the election that Trump allegedly praised Adolf Hitler—an absurd and false claim.
This latest smear came as part of a coordinated effort by Harris and the Democrats, desperate to shift the narrative away from their failing policies and lackluster campaign.
…….Multiple sources have come forward to expose the lies behind the Atlantic’s story, and not even Trump-hating former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper can back up Kelly’s allegations.
When asked if he ever heard Trump use similar derogatory language about the military, Esper responded, “No, not along the lines that John Kelly and others have outlined.”
More on Kelly’s type of behavior:
……..Kelly has a history of smearing Trump, like many former aides looking to continue their careers. He rebuked Trump for firing Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who leaked a private phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and gained hero status among the Left.
Kelly also attempted to recruit others to defy Trump when he was president, The Daily Wire previously reported. Kelly allegedly tried to recruit then-United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley to his group, saying he was doing it to “save the country.”
When Trump fired Kelly, the former four-star general was singing a different tune – defending Trump and saying he consulted multiple sources for information before making a decision.
Kelly also believed the false allegations of domestic abuse against former White House staff secretary Rob Porter. Kelly initially defended Porter, but then called claims from Porter’s ex-wife as “new allegations” and denounced domestic violence. Kelly, however, had access to Porter’s background file, and should have known of the dubious nature of the incident and the true story behind photos claiming Porter had punched his ex-wife.
In reality, Porter took the photos (his ex-wife initially claimed she had taken the photos herself) to document the bruise due to her taking prescription Accutane and other skincare treatments. The ex-wife didn’t say anything about the alleged incident shortly after she and Porter divorced and Porter received his first security clearance in 2008. The allegation only came up after Trump was elected and Porter’s ex-wife became politically active for Democrats. Even then, whatever she told the FBI during Porter’s background investigation couldn’t have lined up with what she told the tabloids, because no issues were flagged with Porter’s security clearance.
And then there’s the allegation that Kelly once shoved Trump’s daughter Ivanka in the West Wing. The allegation was made in Jared Kushner’s memoir, where he wrote Kelly had a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality. Kushner wrote that Kelly was angry with Trump one day and shoved Ivanka out of his way when she said “hello.” Kushner said Kelly later apologized to Ivanka. Ivanka confirmed the report and her former chief of staff confirmed the apology, though Kelly denies either event took place.
From Peter Navarro, who served for four years in the Trump White House and 519 days under John Kelly:
No one knows former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly better than I do. This bitter, bullying coward should be cast into the dustbin of history for once again smearing Donald Trump, just days before the most important election in modern American history.
It may seem reasonable to assume a four-star general would make a good chief of staff, but that assumption is deeply flawed.
Four-star generals like Kelly typically reach the top of their profession because they are seen as the sharpest tools in the military shed. Yet in the West Wing, among uber-elite civilians from academia, the corporate world, and Wall Street, Kelly was consistently the dumbest guy in the room.
Regarding Kelly’s leadership, I had to brace myself physically every time his office called, as it inevitably involved some form of threat or abuse. Some leaders inspire, while others attempt to “lead” through intimidation. Kelly was clearly the latter, and I can’t imagine serving under his command in combat.
But Kelly’s flawed leadership wasn’t the most concerning issue. His real failure was his refusal to obey the president, breaking the chain of command.
Kelly, along with Defense Secretary James “Mad Dog” Mattis, knew better than anyone that the military’s survival depends on strict respect for the chain of command. Yet once Kelly and Mattis reached the pinnacle of civilian power, they acted as if no one, not even the president, was above them.
Kelly routinely subverted the president’s trade agenda. When my former boss instructed Kelly to prepare an executive order to impose steel and aluminum tariffs or tariffs on China, Kelly would consistently delay the process by subjecting it to an extended review.
Kelly employed the same tactic whenever the president attempted to push trading partners like South Korea and Japan to stop screwing us in trade. Both Kelly and Mattis resisted actions that could threaten military alliances with these countries, ignoring the fact that gutting our economy and manufacturing base would ultimately weaken our ability to defend ourselves, let alone any other nation.
Why was Kelly so opposed to Trump’s trade policies? Lacking any economic training, Kelly fell easily into the globalist mindset of West Wing figures like National Economic Council Directors Gary Cohn and Larry Kudlow and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin — all of whom worked to block the president’s trade policies.
Because Kelly had no training in politics, he failed to understand the importance of trade policy in holding the high political ground of blue wall manufacturing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan that Trump had won in 2016.
Because Kelly didn’t know how to “let Trump be Trump,” as Corey Lewandowski famously advised, there was no way “Captain Queeg” Kelly would allow anyone with differing trade policy ideas near the Oval Office.
Kelly regularly eavesdropped on press phone calls and scrutinized overnight phone logs. If someone like me called the president, we were threatened with firing.
……..One of Kelly’s most negligent actions was hiding the truth about staff secretary Rob Porter. Porter had two charges of spousal abuse against him and couldn’t get a security clearance, yet he handled highly sensitive national security documents and interacted with the president daily. Kelly’s decision to hide this information should have been grounds for dismissal.
Kelly invariably hated those closest to Trump. As chief of staff, he single-handedly turned Trump allies Omarosa Manigault and Anthony Scaramucci into bitter and viperous enemies thanks to his mistreatment.
My lasting memory of Kelly was him sitting at my right shoulder on December 2, 2018, at the end of a long table in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with President Trump at the center. Across from us sat our counterparts from the Chinese communist trade delegation.
Before the meeting began, a by-then broken Kelly, likely aware of his imminent exit, apologized for treating me poorly. He also admitted he had failed to recognize what George W. Bush might have called the “real evildoers” in the West Wing.
Now, it saddens and infuriates me to see Kelly play the court jester to the Atlantic, of all places. I had hoped that the Biden-Harris administration’s tragic mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, where Kelly’s own son died in combat, might have brought him out of his hate-filled and vengeful derangement. I was wrong. And the cowardly bully Kelly is wrong about Donald John Trump.
Kelly is a real sack of shit.
Here’s the ‘Hitler’ they’re talking about:
Donald Trump:
• 1st Golf Club Owner in Palm Beach to allow Blacks & Jews
• Has a Jewish Son-in-law, Daughter & Granddaughter
• Dated a Black Model
• Deported a NAZI
• Honored MLK’s birthplace
But Donald Trump is somehow a “racist” because he wants LEGAL immigration and for public servants to love America?
And they’re pulling more of the “groping” shit out of the woodwork:
A Guardian hit piece alleging that former President Donald Trump groped a model at Trump Tower 31 years ago was debunked on social media shortly after it was released.
The former model, Stacey Williams, alleged:“Late winter of 1993, I was on a walk with Jeffrey [Epstein] from his brownstone on the Upper East Side down Fifth Avenue, when Jeffrey looked at me and said, “You know, let’s go stop by and see Trump.”
Williams claimed that Trump groped her breasts and buttocks.
“Moments after they arrived, she alleges, Trump greeted Williams, pulled her toward him and started groping her. She said he put his hands ‘all over my breasts’ as well as her waist and her buttocks. She said she froze because she was ‘deeply confused’ about what was happening. At the same time, she said she believed she saw the two men smiling at each other,” The Guardian reported.
However, social media users quickly pointed out that Jeffrey Epstein moved into the Wexler Mansion in New York City in 1996 — three years after Williams claimed to be at that location.
Immediately debunked:
The leftwing rag The Atlantic published another race hoax:
The closer we get to Trump’s election, the more rabid, desperate, and pathetic the Left becomes.
