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.
Holy shit. I feel like I was living under a blanket or something. I didnāt realize how much Milley actually suspected and anticipated a coup attempt.
That is FUCKING insane. Jan 6 was incredibly bad, but that the joint chiefs actively suspected an attempt at a coup is something altogether insane. If he wins this next election I donāt think weāll have another.
I mean I guess. Didnāt lots of people on āthe leftā (by American standards) suspect something like this to happen? Think of the man what you will, but that comedian Bill Maher predicted it since before Trump was sworn into office, kept saying it for four years straight at every opportunity.
