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.
Trump threatening military with goons is laughable.

Please donāt ask me for a source because I donāt have one, but I distinctly remember reporting about Pence being warned not to trust any unfamiliar secret service agents, and refusing to get into a car after the riot began because he did not recognise the driver.
Edit: Found a source:
Meaning no disrespect, but itās pretty obvious that you donāt know much about the US military. The senior officer corps uniformly despises Trump for all of the obvious reasons that we already know about, and no doubt for other reasons that arenāt public knowledge.
Trump is only popular among the enlisted ranks, and even thatās not universally true.
In any case, while the enlisted ranks know how to keep things rolling and coordinated at the lower levels of organization, there is no world in which any of them knows how to coordinate whole divisions, carrier groups, fighter squadrons, signals intelligence, bomber groups, the nuclear arsenal, and so on and so forth.
The US military is a vast and incredibly complex organization and the only people who really know how to operate it are all in the senior officer corps which again, uniformly despises Trump.
All that said, I would almost kind of like some crazy MAGA fucker to try to assassinate Miley. You know heās protected by some of the most highly competent and experienced security experts on the planet.
This is why tuberville is trying to stop military promotions, to help trump in case he wins in 2024. One of Trumpās first action would be to clean house in the military and extract anyone who doesnāt promise to help with his military coup
