(CNN) —“To Donald Trump, Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán is “fantastic,” Chinese leader Xi Jinping is “brilliant,” North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is “an OK guy,” and, most alarmingly, he allegedly said Adolf Hitler “did some good things,” a worldview that would reverse decades-old US foreign policy in a second term should he win November’s presidential election, multiple former senior advisers told CNN.
“He thought Putin was an OK guy and Kim was an OK guy — that we had pushed North Korea into a corner,” retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff, told me. “To him, it was like we were goading these guys. ‘If we didn’t have NATO, then Putin wouldn’t be doing these things.’”
Trump allegedly reserved some of his most unnerving praise for Hitler, who led Nazi Germany during World War II. “He said, ‘Well, but Hitler did some good things.’ 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,’” Kelly recounted. “I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.”
Trump’s admiration for Hitler went further than the German leader’s economic policies, according to Kelly. Trump also expressed admiration for Hitler’s hold on senior Nazi officers. Trump lamented that Hitler, as Kelly recounted, maintained his senior staff’s “loyalty,” while Trump himself often did not. “He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,” Kelly recalled. “He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal — that we would do anything he wanted us to do,” Kelly told me.”
It’s no secret that Donald Trump has an obsessive man crush and a disturbing amount of envy for Dictators and Authoritarian Leaders. To the point where he is now hosting slumber parties with Hungary’s Viktor Orban at his gaudy estate Mar-A-Largo over last weekend. But the Republican candidate for President didn’t host the Totalitarian Orban so they could have pillow fights and make prank phone calls. As if Trump were a Billionaire Make-A-Wish patient looking to enjoy one last romp with his idol on his gold-plated water bed.
No, their gathering was far more sinister and closer to a fact-finding mission than a Florida bedtime bro-down. If you closely examine Trump’s public statements on his plans for a second term you will realize his only platform initiatives read like a “how-to guide” for dictatorship. Unlike Biden who has a long list of policy proposals that mirror the current direction of the Democratic Party. Trump’s ideas show no sign of a conservative Republican agenda. Even Trump’s most discussed political rhetoric regarding border security and immigration echoes the same themes as Adolf Hitler and Viktor Orban’s ethnic cleansing campaigns.
Trump’s plans to consolidate and weaponize the Justice Department, FCC, FBI, and other federal agencies. So they will be under the umbrella of his Administration’s direct control. Enabling Trump to exact revenge on his political opponents and media outlets he deems a threat to exposing his nefarious intentions. Should send shockwaves across Pro-Democracy proponents around the Globe.
Trump’s alliance with the Heritage Foundation and their “Project 2025“efforts. Which consists of interviewing and potentially hiring thousands of MAGATS willing to replace civil servants and career government employees with Trump loyalists. Is the very same methodology used by Viktor Orban to repel anyone who wasn’t on board with his totalitarian leadership in Hungary. So it should come as no surprise that Orban himself met with the Heritage Foundation during his short visit to the United States.
Trump learned many lessons from his first term in office. Sadly those revelations only strengthened his knowledge about retaining power. In case anyone were to challenge his position, regardless if it’s legitimate or legal. Any previous barriers that kept him from overturning the will of the people in 2020. Have now been studied and figured out how to be overcome were they to arise again.
It’s appalling how a large percentage of Americans are either too ignorant to understand what a Trump second term would entail. Or fully see his vision of a dictatorship and will obediently comply with his demands. Both are equal threats to our democracy and the future welfare of American freedoms. However, there is still time to educate even the most intellectually challenged individuals about the gravity of another Trump Presidency. With time comes hope, but we are rapidly approaching a point where both may be running out soon. The best advice is to keep your circle of friends and family up to date. With all pertinent unsettling Trump information, so the urgency of the moment, can’t be denied any longer.
