Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed gratitude towards retired Marine general John Kelly for his recent interviews where he made revealing comments about former President Donald Trump. Kelly described Trump's behavior as fitting into the general definition of fascist, which has caused concern among many individuals.
Walz, speaking to reporters after casting his ballot in St. Paul, emphasized the importance of Kelly's courage in coming forward with information about Trump. He highlighted the reported dissension into madness by Trump, as detailed in recent articles, and stressed the danger that those closest to Trump recognize.
According to Walz, Trump has made it clear that he aims to take full control of the military to use against his political enemies, the Department of Justice to prosecute dissenters, and the media to control the narrative presented to the American public. This assertion raises significant concerns about Trump's intentions and his understanding of constitutional principles and the rule of law.
Walz praised Kelly for shedding light on Trump's lack of respect for democratic norms and for crossing what many consider to be a red line in terms of presidential behavior. The governor expressed appreciation for Kelly's decision to speak out at this critical moment.
The revelations made by Kelly have sparked further debate about Trump's leadership style and his approach to governance. As the election approaches, these insights from a former member of Trump's inner circle have added a new dimension to the public discourse surrounding the current administration.
