Trump’s Former Top Advisers Call Him ‘Unfit’

October 30, 2024 · 8:31 am ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “The comments from Mr. Kelly and General Milley denigrating Mr. Trump’s capacity to serve as commander in chief are particularly striking, even as they echo the sentiments from others across his government and many Republicans outside of his administration.”

“Former generals, admirals, diplomats, intelligence officers and security strategists have publicly or privately accused Mr. Trump of being a liar who lacks basic knowledge about the world and represents a danger to democracy. Members of his cabinet have questioned his loyalty to the country and testified to his chaotic behavior. His press aides have talked about his lack of integrity and his tendency to attack others.”

“And Mike Pence, his own vice president, has accused him of being reckless and putting himself over the Constitution.”
