Former President Trump, who has attacked the opposition camp as an "internal enemy" of the United States, is in trouble due to the revelation of his past internal affairs.

It is a revelation that Hitler is a fascist who envies the dictator, saying that he has done good things several times, and Vice President Harris voiced that he is very dangerous, saying it proves what former President Trump is like.

Correspondent Hong Sang-hee's report from Washington.

In recent years, former President Trump has been speaking out against progressives, calling them "internal enemies."

[Donald Trump / Former U.S. President (last 15th): I think the bigger problem is not the people who came into our country and destroyed it, but the internal enemy. If it's really necessary, the military shouldn't step up and let it happen.]

Former chief of staff John Kelly, who was a close aide to former President Trump during his presidency in 2017, is making the revelation just before the presidential election.

Kelly, a former four-star general, claimed in an interview with The New York Times and The Atlantic that former President Trump is the equivalent of a fascist who envies a dictator.

[John Kelly/ First Trump Administration Chief of Staff (New York Times interview, CNN report): He (Trump) said he is certainly an authoritarian person and respects dictators himself. Trump clearly fits the general definition of fascist.]

He also said several times that "Hitler did a good job," and said he was concerned about Trump's chances of returning to power.

Vice President Harris held an emergency press conference and strongly criticized former President Trump.

The statement that Hitler wanted a general, not an army loyal to the Constitution of the United States, is clear evidence of what Trump is like.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Donald Trump's reference to Adolf Hitler, who was responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans, is very problematic and incredibly dangerous.]

He also stressed that anyone who speaks out critical of former President Trump, who will become a dictator from his first day in office, will be an "internal enemy."

[CAMALA HARRIS/ VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question is, after 13 days, what do the American people want?]

Trump's camp countered that they were all untrue and fabricated.

This is not the first time that former President Trump praised dictators such as Hitler and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his time in power.

However, if the revelation continues ahead of the presidential election, it is expected to be a bad news for former President Trump due to his "internal enemies" in the past.
