Donald Trump exploded at Gen. Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper after they refused to deploy active-duty troops to quell protests over George Floyd's death last June, a new book has revealed. At the time, both Milley and Esper wanted to avoid that option, resulting in the then-president cursing out his top military advisors, according to a new book by Washington Post reporters Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker.'You're all f**ked up,' Trump said, according to the book titled, I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year. 'Every one of you is f**ked up.'
I have no interest in reading any quote from this Red Diaper General.

Me neither #1. He is not in the employ of the United States. He and Dough Boy vindeman have sought a military led overthrow of the valid government by perjurious conduct.
In any event the video of bi.den grabbing a teenage boy’s hand and putting his (bi.den’s) face mask in the boy’s hand is unambiguous and disgusting and nauseating.

The conclusions stated about Esper and Milley are 100% accurate.

I think if The President had the power to fire those guys right then and there, he should have done it. Then he should have gone to some other General who would follow his orders. Just think what our country would be like right now if Trump had been able to send in the Military to shut down BLM and ANTIFA in all the States they have taken over. It would be so much better!! They should never have gained the Power they have. Trump knew what was happening and wanted it stopped. If he does run again, get into the White House and have people around him to get things done, I think thing will change rapidly in this country. I'm sure he's just itching to clean out the Thugs, fire all those people in DOJ and clean out the FBI. One can only dream that we might actually have our country back!

'Mr. President, it doesn't compare anywhere to the summer of sixty-eight,' Milley said, according to the book. 'It's not even close.'
Nope not even close...1968 only had 10 riots, We ended up with over NINE HUNDRED!
1968 riots:
Orangeburg massacre, February 8, South Carolina State University, Orangeburg, South Carolina
1968 Washington, D.C., riots, April 4–8, Washington, D.C.
1968 Chicago riots (West Side Riots), April 5–7, Chicago, Illinois
Baltimore riot of 1968, April 6–12, Baltimore, Maryland
Avondale, Cincinnati#Riots of 1968, April 8, Cincinnati, Ohio
1968 Kansas City, Missouri riot, April 9, Kansas City, Missouri
Wilmington riot of 1968, April 9–10, Wilmington, Delaware
1968 Louisville riots, May 27–29, Louisville, Kentucky
Glenville shootout, July 23–28, Cleveland, Ohio
1968 Democratic National Convention protest activity, August 1968, Chicago, Illinois
"You don't have an insurrection.'
'When guys show up in gray and start bombing Fort Sumter, you'll have an insurrection,' Milley added.
Better tell THAT to all the Dems and Media claiming that 4 hours on Jan6th was the worst insurrection in world history. Worse than Pearl Harbor, 911, 1812, the Civil War that killed 750,000...2.5% of the entire population.

The thing that will make me pause about voting for Trump again is the number of wrong people he hired and how slow he was to fire them.

And look at these cities since Trump left office. Its like the wild west out there. Teenagers carry guns like you carry a pack of gum. These freakin thugs fear nothing because they know there are no consequences. Democrats are in office now, a government who supports thugs over the law abiding citizen. The whole George Floyd narrative was a freakin joke, an excuse to riot and loot and kill. And the illiterates still don't get it.

I don’t believe anything two Democrat operatives, disguised as reporters for the DNC-founded, Democratic organ of propaganda WaPo say but I will admit that I am confused. Supposing there is a kernel…no, a grain….no, wait, a quarter of a grain of truth to this report. The President of the United States is also the Commander-in-Chief of all branches of the U.S. military including the U.S. Army. So how can a General Officer under his command refuse to carry out an order? Did PDJT actually give the order? The article says that Milley refused it so it must have been given. Isn’t that refusing a direct order or were they merely discussing options and it got heated? The article doesn’t make it clear.
If the definition of “insurrection” is men dressed in gray attacking Fort Sumter then a whole lot of mischief can be achieved in other ways, for instance bombing Ft. Sumter while wearing red. Is Milley really that obtuse or just dangerously lacking in imagination?
As far as the 1968 riots were concerned, Milley was 10 years old. They were bad, though. Innocents killed, stores looted, buildings destroyed, police stations burned to the ground. Oh, wait. I don’t think any police stations were burned down in 1968. That was in 2020 in Mpls., while in Seattle a small section of the city became an open-air insane asylum, in Portland, OR rioters beat innocent people nearly to death, in Kenosha, WI a full-blown street battle broke out killing at least one person. But none of that was Baghdad where some crazy inbreds killed people for being Shia instead of Sunni was it the other way around? No matter, because then, when there is no threat to any American life or property, it’s bombs away for the US. Army.

Milley is a traitor. He is a flawless fit with the rest of them in the Biden “administration”.

It all sounds good for us to say what Trump should or should not have done. We were not the ones being lied to by devious high-ranking intelligence, law enforcement and military people. We know truth-tellers were kept away from him by WH staff gatekeepers. We now know he was literally lied to by the Joint Chiefs of Staff about accurate numbers of troops in Afghanistan. If Trump had fired certain bad guys, the underlings would have all faced career suicide if they took over to then carry out POTUS’ wishes.

He didn't deploy any troops because that would have stopped the Piglosi, dems and FBI riot plan that was planned.

General Milley looks like he has been pretty well politicized, but how many wars has he won?

General Mark "I wear Spanx under this uniform" Milley
Has the same confidence as Barack Obama, meaning
there is the deep state that assures their position and rank is always secure.
They always know the cards dealt before they're ever turned over.

Miley is so racist.
They were burning down ALL the major cities in America that are heavily infested with Swedes.....
He was willing to let them burn.
That's still not right. Other people lived there too.
One man's hatred for Swedes should not allow him to refuse to do his job and protect America!

Newark, NJ, died after the 1967 riots, My dad worked there and I remember her pleading with him not to go to work. He did anyway, He grew up there and new his way around town.
Boston has an interesting history of that era, James Brown was doing a concert in Providence, and the mayor sent state troopers to Providence and brought him to Boston to perform for the people. The event calmed everyone down, and there was no riot there,

Now that the general has defined what an insurrection is, we know that there was no insurrection on Jan 6.

General Milley?
The same "I am white and I am researching white rage" clown?
Yeah, very reliable source.
The book authors are just more like Michael Wolff style fake news packed in books.

And Trump was right! Milley and the rest should have been relieved right then and there, period.
