Well, I'm looking at the definition of fascism. It's a far-right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized hypocrisy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy. So certainly, in my experience, those are the type of things that he thinks

I mean, I don't disagree with John Kelly on his assessment about what Trump does and what's wrong with it. But to be a fascist, you have to think in at least some conceptual level, which Trump never does. Trump is a problem without that label. And he has caused a lot of damage. He did in his first term. He will in his second term.

I just don't like to get lost in the bumper sticker argument rather than arguing about substance. And I would say I don't think John Kelly disagrees with me on that.

It's too far above Trump's capabilities. I mean, he has no philosophy. He has in the national security space, he has no grand strategy. He doesn't do policy as we conventionally understand that term. This is difficult to accept. I know it was difficult for me to accept that anybody could be so totally transactional, so totally focused on what's in it for him. But that's Trump.

There are plenty of people around him with... with problematic philosophies, people who do have the ability to think at a more conceptual level. But what they say may ultimately be reflected in certain Trump decisions, but it's not because he shares their worldview or anything like that.

Well, I think he wants to be the center of attention. I think that's probably his principal motivating factor. And I think his approach was once described by Charles Krauthammer very well. And Krauthammer said it to me, but I think he said it publicly on any number of occasions, that he began by thinking Trump was an 11-year-old.
