Donald Trump, a former US president, refuted charges made by two of the most senior military figures who served under him. Both of these people now view him as a major threat to the country.
Trump was asked to respond to comments from retired general Jim Mattis and past joint chiefs of staff public Mark Milley during a sharp transfer, both of whom referred to him as” the most dangerous man always.”
Trump’s reaction was usually primary. ” They were not my cup of tea, they were woke”, he said, dismissing the two commanders. You are aware, in my opinion, that they were n’t great generals. I was asking them for suggestions. I did n’t agree with the advice”.
Citing Milley’s processing of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Trump said,” Look at the tips that Milley gave to Biden on Afghanistan. Move the troops out first, low, you have to walk the soldiers out next. I do n’t respect them as soldiers. I always did. I fired them both”.
General Mark Milley, who served as Trump’s Joint Chiefs president, has become increasingly vocal, just calling Trump” a totalitarian to the base” and stating that no person has possibly posed a greater risk to the United States than the 45th president.
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who resigned in 2018 after colliding with Trump over the withdrawal of American forces from Syria, appeared to discuss Milley’s analysis. According to senior journalist Bob Woodward, Mattis officially agreed with Milley’s terrible caution about Trump.
The two generals, when important figures in Trump’s presidency, have joined a growing chorus of reviewers concerned about the possibility of a second Trump presidency.
In the midst of the 2020 protests led by George Floyd, Mattis had recently distanced himself from Trump after resigning. Trump retaliated by labeling Mattis” the world’s most underrated public” and questioning his management skills.
Trump downplays the issues raised by his previous allies, but their warnings paint a striking image of the conflicts that plagued his presidency.
