Donald Trump's longest-serving chief of staff is warning that the Republican presidential nominee meets the definition of a fascist and that while in office, Trump suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "did some good things."
@#5 ... Harris said that the remarks relayed by Kelly 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," she said. ...
Yup. That seems to be the case.
From what I remember from high school history...
Hitler Oath
en.wikipedia.org
... The Hitler Oath (German: Fhrereid or Fhrer Oath)"also referred in English as the Soldier's Oath[1]"refers to the oaths of allegiance sworn by officers and soldiers of the Wehrmacht and civil servants of Nazi Germany between the years 1934 and 1945.
The oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler rather than loyalty to the constitution of the country.
Historians view the personal oath of the Third Reich as an important psychological element to obey orders for committing war crimes, atrocities, and genocide.[2] During the Nuremberg trials, many German officers unsuccessfully attempted to use the oath as a defence against charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.[3] ...[emphasis mine]
So, maybe this is one of the "good things" that fmr Pres Trump thinks that Hitler did?
This tune just popped up on a playlist here. Coincidence?
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood(2004)

The performance is from the 2004 Hall of Fame induction ceremony for George Harrison.
It is becoming my favorite performance of this awesome tune.
And kudos to Prince and that amazing guitar playing near the end of the song. Such a tribute.
