川普的前国土安全部长和幕僚长，广受尊重的凯利将军，这两天公开接受采访，确认了过去传闻的川普称赞希特勒，贬低美国军人的言行。凯利说川普崇拜独裁者，符合法西斯分子的定义：
“Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure," Kelly said.
Kelly, who first joined the Trump administration as homeland security secretary and later was White House chief of staff from July 2017 until early 2019, also said Trump had spoken positively about Adolf Hitler.
“He commented more than once that, you know, that Hitler did some good things, too,” Kelly said.
《大西洋月刊》周二早些时候报道称，特朗普私下钦佩希特勒的将军们“完全忠于他”并遵守命令，在白宫的一次谈话中私下表示，“我需要希特勒拥有的那种将军。”
The Atlantic reported earlier Tuesday that Trump had privately admired Hitler's generals "who were totally loyal to him" and followed orders, privately saying in a conversation at the White House, “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had."
拜登在同一个讲话里很快澄清，他是指在政治上把他lock up, 拒绝他当选。
President Biden said on Tuesday that former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be locked up, before quickly amending his comment to say he meant locked up “politically.”
“We got to lock him up,” Mr. Biden said at the campaign office, where he dropped by after a speech on health care elsewhere in Concord.
Seeming to catch himself, he quickly added: “Politically lock him up. Lock him out. That’s what we have to do.”
Mr. Biden was making an argument he has for years about Mr. Trump’s lack of commitment to the Constitution. “Our democracy is at stake,” he said. “Think about it. Think about what would happen if Donald Trump wins this election.”

“I think it’s a mistake to get into a controversy over whether Trump meets the definition of fascist or not,” he told the news network’s Kaitlan Collins. “I think his behavior alone is troubling enough. To be a fascist, you have to have a philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that. You know, Adolf Hitler wrote a profoundly troubling book called ‘Mein Kampf’ – ‘My Struggle.’ Donald Trump couldn’t even read his way all the way through that book, let alone write something like it.”
拜登呼吁将特朗普关押，政坛风波再起
【华盛顿消息】2024年10月22日，美国总统乔·拜登在一场白宫新闻发布会上，罕见地公开呼吁将前总统唐纳德·特朗普关押，掀起了美国政坛新一轮的争议。拜登的这一言论是在回应特朗普近期一系列法律纠纷及其在公开场合的激烈言辞后做出的。
拜登在讲话中指出：“法律面前人人平等。无论是谁，都不能凌驾于法律之上。如果有人多次触犯法律，那他就应该为此负责，哪怕是前总统。” 这一表态被外界解读为直接针对特朗普，因为特朗普目前正面临多项刑事指控，涉及妨碍司法、公职人员贪污、选举干预等问题。
特朗普团队迅速对拜登的言论做出反应，称这是一场“政治迫害”，并指责拜登企图通过司法手段打压竞选对手。特朗普的律师团队表示，他们将坚决为特朗普辩护，并指责拜登政府利用司法系统打击政敌的行为“完全不符合民主国家的价值观”。
共和党内部也因此再度出现分裂。部分共和党议员表示，拜登的言论无疑是对政治对手的“攻击”和“越权”，而另一部分共和党人则对特朗普的行为持保留态度，认为他的法律问题已经严重影响了党的形象。
民主党方面，多名资深成员则纷纷表示支持拜登的言论，称这是在捍卫法律的尊严，并呼吁司法部门保持独立，不受政治干预。
目前，特朗普的法律诉讼仍在继续，拜登的这一表态预计将引发更多关于司法独立与政治干预的讨论。在接下来的几周中，相关案件的进展无疑将对美国即将到来的总统大选产生重大影响。
