I served at the Pentagon with John Kelly. He is right about Trump.
(OpEd) Assistant VA Secretary Maura Sullivan | New Hampshire Union Leader

Veteran: Trump, not Democrats, exhibit fascist traits
(OpEd) Commander Dave Petri | The Mount Airy News
Trump’s hateful rhetoric toward fellow Americans, his admiration for neo-fascists like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, his desire for “Hitler-like-generals,” and his overt statements to use the military against those who oppose him are not characteristics of a democracy-loving leader.

(OpEd) Neal Urwitz | The National Interest
From a pure policy standpoint, one could see why Donald Trump thinks he deserves the Jewish vote. During his administration, he moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
