In the past few weeks, many Republicans who were involved as members of President Trump’s Cabinet, his Situation Room, or other prominent positions in the administration have gone on record as saying he is now unfit for office.
Today, it was retired U.S. Marine Corps general John Kelly’s turn; he has the distinction of being the longest serving White House chief of staff in the Trump era that ended almost four years ago. He is quoted in The New York Times as saying Trump admired Adolph Hitler back then and wanted the type of general Hitler commanded in World War II; that is, the type who gave allegiance to the Fuhrer over anything. Kelly claims Trump fits the definition of a fascist today.
I don’t know which Republican started saying Candidate Harris was a better alternative than Candidate Trump. Perhaps it was Dick Cheney or Mike Pence or any of the 40 former cabinet members who served under Trump who have gone on record that they are not voting for him. Maybe it was General Mike Milley.
Or in my own state of Michigan, maybe it was former House Representative Fred Upton, who chose not to run in 2022 after thirty years in office. He has announced he’s already voted for Harris.
Many people have praised those public figures who once were in Trump’s ranks with coming out against him. For me it feels like rats jumping ship. I mean: If some of their reasons are true for not backing the GOP nominee – and have been true since Mr. Trump was in office – what took them so long?
On another note, rapper Eminem and country music star Jason Aldean came out in support of The Donald.
