"Former President Trump on Wednesday night blasted his former White House chief of staff John Kelly as a "lowlife" and "total degenerate" after Kelly gave a series of critical interviews about his former boss.
Why it matters: Trump's Truth Social posts mark his first public remarks about Kelly since his ex-chief-of-staff divulged the GOP presidential nominee's alleged praise for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
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."
