Ask the People Who Have Worked with Trump, and They Will Tell You He Shouldn’t Go Near the White House Again

Nearly half of Trump’s cabinet have refused to endorse him. Former four-star Marine general and former Trump chief of staff has said Donald Trump fits the definition of a fascist and that he “prefers the dictator approach to government.” Retired Gen. Mark Milley agreed Trump is “fascist to the core,” and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper has also said he believes Trump fits the fascist label.

When Trump learned during the Capitol riot that his supporters were threatening to kill his own vice president, he said, “So what?” and refused to do anything to ensure the vice president was safe. He sat and watched TV for over three hours as Capitol police officers were being attacked — one even beaten with a flagpole — and said and did nothing to stop it.

Republican governors, senators, and House members have all said the same thing: we can’t give Trump another four years as president. A group of more than 200 Republican officials signed a letter before the Democratic convention supporting the Democratic nominee.

Republicans like Liz Cheney, who is touring with Kamala Harris, are not supporting her because they agree with her policies. This is bigger than political ideology.

“We’ve never faced a threat like this before, and I think it’s so important for people to realize this Republic only survives if we protect it, and that means putting partisan politics aside and standing up for the Constitution and for what’s right and loving our country.”

Now Kamala Harris has come out in agreement about Trump’s fascist tendencies. (The press is predictably going insane.)

Of course, Donald Trump hasn’t met an insult he doesn’t like. He has said: “She’s a Marxist, communist, fascist, socialist.” And just the next day declared, “This is a radical-left, Marxist, communist, fascist.” Of course, such insults are paired regularly with calling her a threat to the country and even a “shit” vice president.

The difference is that Donald Trump doesn’t even know that socialism, communism and fascism are different things. And he doesn’t care. He is a petty, bitter old man who is unfit to be president.

The Republicans and retired generals who are warning of the threat from Trump are deadly serious. They understand the threat an unstable man with authoritarian tendencies and no guardrails poses to American citizens.
