Anderson Cooper on Tuesday noted how “remarkable” it is that former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly’s recent confirmation of Donald Trump’s alleged praise of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler likely won’t move the needle at all in the 2024 election.
A report like that would previously have been “a death knell to any candidacy” and absolutely sunk a campaign, said the CNN anchor.
But for former president and current Republican nominee Trump, said Cooper, “I don’t know that it’ll have any impact whatsoever.
“It seems like everything is baked in,” Cooper acknowledged. “There’s nothing that the former president can say that will turn off his supporters.”
Indeed, Trump during his 2016 campaign boasted, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”
Kelly, in new interviews published by the The Atlantic and The New York Times, warned Trump would rule as a dictator if he wins back the White House. He also confirmed earlier reporting that Trump had praised Hitler to him as having done, “some good things, too.”
