Khizr Khan, a Gold Star parent whose son Humayun was killed in Iraq in 2004, has spoken out against former President Donald Trump, labeling him a 'wannabe dictator.' Khan's comments come in the wake of statements made by Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, who described Trump as someone who admires authoritarians.
In a recent interview, Khan urged senior military officials to denounce Trump and his rhetoric, emphasizing the threat he poses to democracy. Khan highlighted the importance of retired flag officers continuing to defend the country even after their service has ended.
