Yesterday, Harris gave a surprise speech from her Washington DC residence in the aftermath of reports that John Kelly, Trump's former chief of staff, recalled how Trump lamented not having generals who swore loyalty to him in the same manner as military commanders served Hitler in Nazi Germany.
"Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions. Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses would no longer be there and no longer be there to rein him in," Harris said.
Harris said that the alleged remarks showed that Trump "does not want a military that is loyal to the United States constitution".
"He wants a military who will be loyal to him, personally, one that will obey his orders, even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the constitution of the United States."
