It took about 24 hours, but Former President Donald Trump responded to an explosive allegation from Ret. Gen. John Kelly, his former chief of staff.

On Tuesday, the New York Times released audio of Kelly saying the former president has fascist tendencies and said Adolf Hitler “did some good things.” Kelly also went on the record in The Atlantic to say that Trump told him he wished he were as loyal as “Hitler’s generals.” The same Atlantic piece also said Trump fumed about the funeral cost for a murdered U.S. soldier named Vanessa Guillén.

“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” Trump said in a meeting, according to a source who was present.

Trump’s team denied the allegations, though the former president did not respond until Wednesday. On Truth Social, he accused Kelly of making up the stories because he has “Trump Derangement Syndrome”:

Thank you for your support against a total degenerate named John Kelly, who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred! This guy had two qualities, which don’t work well together. He was tough and dumb. The problem is his toughness morphed into weakness, because he became JELLO with time! The story about the Soldiers was A LIE, as are numerous other stories he told. 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. 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!

Kelly’s assessment of the former president echoes that of Ret. Gen. Mark Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump. Milley said Trump is “a fascist to the core.”
