With #Election Day looming, #JohnKelly — deeply bothered by #Trump’s recent comments about employing the #military against his #domestic opponents — agreed to three on-the-record, recorded discussions with a reporter for The New York Times about the former president, providing some of his most wide-ranging comments yet about Trump’s fitness & character.

The moves are the latest example of #Trump’s long-held resistance to being called to account for his #lies, which have formed the bedrock of his political message for yrs. Just in recent weeks, for example, Trump has seized on fabricated tales of migrants eating pets & Venezuelan gangs overtaking cities in pushing his anti-#immigration message as he seeks a second term in office.

And this month, #Trump refused to sit down for an interview w/CBS’s “60 Minutes” because he objected to the show’s practice of fact-checking.

Campaign advisers also expressly asked CBS News to forgo fact checking in its VP debate w/ Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen #JDVance — who then complained on air when a moderator corrected him.

#Trump nearly backed out of an August interview w/ #NABJ, a group of Black journalists, after learning they planned to #FactCheck his claims. The following month, he & his allies repeatedly complained about the fact-checking that occurred during his debate w/VP #KamalaHarris, berating #journalists & #news executives in the middle of the televised debate.

Since #Hurricane #Helene caused widespread devastation throughout the South, the #Trump
campaign & other #conservatives have touted a #lie that federal agencies are intentionallyresponding slowly to #Republican-voting areas. In a fiery response, FEMA spokesperson Jaclyn Rothenberg slammed the idea that FEMA takes party affiliation into account.

There is no way to translate that gibberish. President Joe #Biden gave a disastrous debate performance, & people called for him to step down over 1 lousy night. Yet #Trump turned into a potato at the rally, & nothing is said. And that clip wasn't the only part where Trump's mental acuity should be questioned. The former President's entire speech was glaringly deranged.
