Former President Donald Trump fired back Wednesday after Vice President Kamala Harris called an emergency press conference and compared him to Hitler. Speaking from her private residence in Washington, D.C., Harris accused Trump of wanting “unchecked” power and a “military-like Adolf Hitler had.”
Harris repeated claims recently made by Trump’s ex-chief of Staff, John Kelly. A retired Marine general, Kelly has recently embarked on a media tour, claiming that Trump is a secret fascist who praised Hitler behind closed doors.
“It is clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who, I quote, ‘certainly falls into the general definition of fascists,’ who in fact vowed to be a dictator on day one and vowed to use the military as his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas,” Harris told reporters Wednesday.
Shortly after, Trump shot back on social media, writing that Harris’ emergency press conference was a sign of her campaign becoming desperate.
Comrade Kamala Harris sees that she is losing, and losing badly, especially after stealing the Race from Crooked Joe Biden, so now she is increasingly raising her rhetoric, going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and anything else that comes to her warped mind. She is a Threat to Democracy, and not fit to be President of the United States — And her Polling so indicates! ~ Donald Trump via Truth Social

Harris continued her attacks on X, however, writing that “Donald Trump is out for unchecked power.”
“He wants a military like Adolf Hitler had, who will be loyal to him, not our Constitution. He is unhinged, unstable, and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses.”
Harris and her allies have stepped up their attacks against Trump this week, seemingly to minimal effect. Polling of the 2024 election has tightened recently, with RealClearPolitics giving Harris a lead of just 0.2 points nationally. Four years ago, Biden was leading Trump by more than 8 points.
The RealClearPolitics no toss-up map also shows Trump winning by wide margins at 312 electoral votes compared to Harris’ 226.

Trump also disputed the report from his former Chief-of-Staff, calling Kelly a “lowlife” and comparing him to a cup of Jello.
“Even though I shouldn’t be wasting my time with him, I always feel it’s necessary to hit back in pursuit of THE TRUTH,” Trump said Wednesday.
“John Kelly is a LOWLIFE, and a bad General, whose advice in the White House I no longer sought, and told him to MOVE ON! His wife once told me, at Camp David, John admires you tremendously, and when he leaves the Military, he will only speak well of you. I said, Thank you!”
