In an interview on ā60 Minutesā on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said he will take āappropriate measuresā to make sure he and his family are safe in the wake of recent comments made by former President Trump.
Milleyās words come after a Truth Social post by Trump last week calling the chairman a āWoke train wreckā and accusing him of treason, seeming to reference calls made by Milley to China for reassurance at the end of Trumpās term.
āThis is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!ā Trumpās post read. āA war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!ā
āIāve got adequate safety precautions,ā the military leader said in response to a question about his concern about his safety from CBSās Norah OāDonnell.
How stupid do you have to be to threaten a 4-star army general?
Well, I guess as stupid as Trump, but still it defies logic.
In a normal world it would be incredibly stupid. In the reality that weāre living in, insulting military members, even wounded veterans can appeal to a certain crowd. Even ironically if some of the people in the crowd are military members or wounded veterans. The number one rule when youāre in a cult, is that the cult leader is always right.
One has to wonder if Milley was thinking āYeah? Him and what armyā
Well itās not like heās gonna face any consequences from it.
