Retired military generals have described Donald Trump as a ā€œdangerā€ to Americaā€™s security as they endorsed Kamala Harris.

On the eve of a critical debate between Ms Harris and her Republican rival, 10 former top US military chiefs released a letter calling the vice-president the only candidate ā€œwho is fit to serveā€ in the countryā€™s highest office.

While Ms Harris had ā€œdemonstrated her ability to take on the most difficult national security challenges in the Situation Room and on the international stageā€, they wrote, Trump posed ā€œa danger to our national security and democracyā€.

The letter, signed by retired General Larry Ellis and retired Rear Admiral Michael Smith, among others, accused Trump of disparaging service members and putting them in ā€œharmā€™s wayā€, including with his deal to free 5,000 Taliban fighters.

It coincided with a new Harris campaign advert placed in Palm Beach featuring Trumpā€™s most senior former officials warning of the risks of his White House return.

The attack advert shows a montage of scathing comments about the Republican ex-president by some of his most senior former cabinet officials in what appears to be an effort to goad him ahead of their televised live showdown on Tuesday night.

ā€œIn 2016, Donald Trump said he would choose only the best people to work in his White House,ā€ the attack advertā€™s narrator said. ā€œNow those people have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.ā€

    Classic lemmy.ml MAGA cosplaying as a leftist. Pretend all you want that ā€œBlue MAGAā€ is a real thing, nobody takes that seriously. Itā€™s disgusting that you recognize your genocidal MAGA cult is despicable enough that you attempt to stick the label on everything else, yet you still campaign for Donald every day.

      Blue MAGA is every cultist that is enabling genocide by voting for it.

      If Harris knew she was going to lose for her unconditional support for Israel then she would change her positions.

      Itā€™s your fault that she wonā€™t.

      Youā€™d rather kill everyone in Gaza than stand up against your cult leader.

        Nah, the guys complicit in genocide are you MAGAs, filling a corrupt SCOTUS with theocrats.

        You know there will be millions of dollars put into campaigns against her if she declares anything. You know the gerrymandered maps make losing any support disastrous. You know the only chance of ending it sooner is pressuring Dems.

        But you love the genocide, so instead you undermine the only possible ceasefire. You want Donald in to finish the job. Every day you are on here agitating for that.

        I just donā€™t understand what you get out of campaigning for Donald every day. Cult member or some sort of theocracy enjoyer, I guess.
