Democrat Kamala Harris said Wednesday that Donald Trump is “increasingly distraught” and accused him of seeking “unchecked power.” after some alleged praise that the republican gave to Adolf Hitler years ago.
The candidates raise their tone when there are 13 days left until the elections in those who are neck and neck in the polls.
“It is deeply disturbing and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump invoke Adolf Hitler, the man responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” the Democratic vice president said outside her residence in Washington, before leaving for Pennsylvania for a campaign event.
“All of this is further proof to the American people of who Donald Trump really is,” he added of his Republican rival.
The former president “Donald Trump is increasingly unbalanced and unstable and in a second term people like John Kelly would not be there to protect against his tendencies and actions,” he said, referring to a former chief of staff of the tycoon during his term.
“So the bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants: wants power without control”, Harris said.

“Donald Trump said that because he doesn’t want a military that is faithful to the Constitution of the United States,” Harris said. “He wants an army that is loyal to him.”
Former Marine Gen. John Kelly confirmed Tuesday that tycoon fits the definition of fascist.
“Of course the former president belongs to the far right, of course he is an authoritarian, he admires dictators, he said so himself. So, without a doubt, he fits the general definition of a fascist, for sure,” he said.
Kelly also claimed that Trump “commented more than once: ‘You know, Hitler did some good things too.'”
Trump’s campaign team reacted: Harris “she is increasingly desperate as she falters and her campaign is in ruins.”
“That is why he continues to spread easy-to-disprove lies and falsehoods,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Biden’s support
But the White House remained steadfast in its support of Kelly and Harris.
Asked whether President Joe Biden agreed with Kelly’s assessment that Trump is a fascist, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre was unequivocal.
“Do we agree with this conclusion? Yes, we do.”“he replied.
Trump’s other statements on illegal immigration have already earned him comparisons with Hitler.
Immigrants “poison the blood of the country”, he has repeated several times in recent months. He also used the terms “enemy within” and “parasites.”
Nazi propaganda referred to Jews as “parasites”, among other degrading epithets.
About 23.5 million Americans have already voted by mail or in person for the presidential election, which appears to be very close.
The campaign continues with a technical tie in the polls between Trump and Harris.
It is impossible to determine the level of precision of these investigations. In the past they have underestimated support for Trump and the Democrats.
The former president insists on the repression of migrants in an irregular situation if he wins the election and promises to activate a 1798 Foreign Enemies Act to expel them.
If they return, they will receive a 10-year prison sentence and the death penalty if they killed an American or a police officer, he repeats at his rallies.
Harris questions this Trump be mentally and physically fit for president and is trying to appeal to moderate Republican voters.
Trump, who is campaigning in Georgia on Wednesday, believes, by contrast, that she does not have the “intelligence or strength” to lead the United States.
