Retired Marine general John Kelly, who served as Donald Trump's White House chief of staff, recently made headlines with his comments on the former president. In an interview with The New York Times, Kelly stated that Trump fits into the general definition of a fascist and prefers a dictatorial approach to government.
During the recorded interview, Kelly referenced a definition of fascism he found online, describing it as a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, and belief in a natural social hierarchy. Kelly noted that Trump's beliefs and actions align with these characteristics.
