Ex-General Mark Milley Calls Trump “Total Fascist” as Trump Escalates Xenophobic Attacks

HeadlineOct 14, 2024

On Sunday, Trump campaigned in Arizona, where he vowed to hire 10,000 new Border Patrol agents. On Friday, Trump campaigned in the Colorado city of Aurora, where he repeated his false claims that Venezuelan gangs had turned the city into a war zone. Trump claimed migrants have “occupied America.” Trump’s claims have been denounced by local officials, including Aurora’s Republican Mayor Mike Coffman, who said Trump’s claims are “grossly exaggerated and have unfairly hurt the city’s identity and sense of safety.”

Former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley has described Donald Trump as “fascist to the core.” Milley told author Bob Woodward, “Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”
