Former President Trump publicly criticized his former White House chief of staff John Kelly, calling him a "lowlife" and "total degenerate" after Kelly gave critical interviews about Trump. Kelly had alleged that Trump praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, saying "You know, Hitler did some good things, too." Trump did not directly address the Hitler comments but denied other stories Kelly told. Trump's comments were in response to Kelly's interviews with the New York Times and The Atlantic. Kelly also alleged that Trump was angered over funeral costs for slain U.S. soldier Vanessa Guillén and referred to her as a "f---ing Mexican." Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung denied the allegations, saying Kelly fabricated the stories. Trump's alleged comments about Hitler drew outrage from Democrats but a muted response from many Republicans. Vice President Kamala Harris called the comments "deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous," prompting Trump to hit back at her on Truth Social. Trump's response also included a denial of the allegations and a personal attack on Kelly. The controversy is the latest in a series of scandals surrounding Trump.
