Nats: "I, Donald John Trump."
NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS HAD SO MANY FORMER TOP AIDES MAKING SUCH HARSH PUBLIC ASSESSMENTS.

Cassidy Hutchinson
Former Aide to WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows

I think that Donald Trump is the most grave threat that we will face to our democracy in our lifetime and potentially in American history.
00:00:19;06
She joins a growing chorus.
00:00:21;17
Do I think he's unfit for office?
00:00:23;03
He will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else.
00:00:28;23
And today, Trump's longest serving, former chief of staff, John Kelly is chiming in with his harshest criticism yet in an exclusive statement to CNN Kelly says about Trump, what can I add that has not already been said, calling President Trump a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about for the first time ever.
00:00:54;16
Kelly sets the record straight with on the record confirmation of a number of damning details about Donald Trump from background sources including from a 2020 Atlantic story reported with unnamed sources by editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, including the stunning detail that Trump turned to Kelly on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery in 2017 and asked, I don't get it.
00:01:19;21
What was in it for them.
00:01:21;28
This is Kelly confirming on the record stories of Trump insulting Senator John mccain and former President George Hw Bush because in Vietnam and in World War II, respectively, the former aviators were shot down.
00:01:38;13
Kelly describes Trump as a person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat or spend years being tortured as pows are all suckers because there is nothing in it for them.
00:01:56;00
A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because it doesn't look good for me.
00:02:03;14
A person that demonstrated open contempt for a gold star family for all gold star families on TV during the 2016 campaign and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America's defense are losers and wouldn't visit their graves in France.
00:02:23;19
Kelly confirming on the record, a story reported in the book, the divider where Trump tells Kelly, he wants a military parade like one he saw for Bastille Day in France except he does not want any wounded veterans.
00:02:38;04
Kelly confirming that Trump in 2018 in France refused to visit graves of Americans killed in World war.
00:02:45;25
I to CNN.
00:02:47;23
Kelly calls Trump a hypocrite saying he is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians on Jews on working men and women.
00:03:04;04
And he concludes Trump is a person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our constitution and the rule of law.
00:03:14;18
He concludes there is nothing more that can be said, God help us.
00:03:20;21
He's doing a great job as Chief of staff, a stunning repudiation by a man who worked side by side with Trump longer than any other of Trump's many chiefs of staff.
00:03:32;12
Kelly also criticized Trump for saying that former Joint Chiefs of staff Chairman General Mark Milley should be executed in a departure speech on Friday Milley responded, we don't take an oath to a king or queen or a tyrant or a dictator and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.
00:03:52;04
Some of the people who know Donald Trump the best now warning of the threat they think he poses if elected in November 2024.
