Trump calls John Kelly a "lowlife" after Hitler praise revelations

State of play: "John Kelly is a LOWLIFE, and a bad General," Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday.

• "The story about the Soldiers was A LIE, as are numerous other stories he told," Trump added, though he did not specifically address his alleged praise of Hitler.

Catch up quick: Kelly spoke about Trump's admiration for the Nazi leader in interviews with the New York Times and The Atlantic published this week.

• "He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly alleged to the Times.
• Kelly also told The Atlantic that Trump had been angered over the funeral costs for slain U.S. soldier Vanessa Guillén, alleging Trump had referred to Guillén as a "f---ing Mexican."
• Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung denied the allegations earlier this week, saying Kelly had "beclowned himself with these debunked stories he has fabricated."

Zoom out: Trump's alleged comments outraged Democrats but failed to draw the same response from many Republicans.

• New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) told CNN that Trump's alleged remarks about Hitler are "kind of par for the course."
• Vice President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, called them "deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous."
• Trump then took to Truth Social to hit back at Harris, saying the Democratic presidential nominee was "increasingly raising her rhetoric, going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and anything else that comes to her warped mind."
