'The projection runs deep': Trump adviser says 'gestapo' comment applies to ex-president
Raw StoryDonald Trump's recent comments about President Joe Biden's "Gestapo," made before a gathering of rich donors in Palm Beach, actually stem from "projection," a former Republican National Committee staffer who rose to advise the Trump White House on national security issues said. Former Mike Pence Homeland Security staffer Olivia Troye appeared on CNN on Sunday, and was asked about Trump's recent statements in which he compared Biden's presidency to Nazi officials. "He's now comparing the Biden and his administration to the Nazi secret police," the host said. Further, she said, "having worked in the Trump administration, the projection runs deep because I think that when he's talking about things like that, it's sort of how he would like to run things."
