After the 2020 election, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, compared President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Trump’s supporters in the MAGA movement to Nazi brownshirts. This only further underscores conservative fears about President Joe Biden’s efforts to root out “extremism” in the military.
“Milley told his staff that he believed Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military,” Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker wrote in their forthcoming book I Alone Can Fix It, CNN reported.
According to the book, Milley feared Trump would launch a coup and he prepared a plan to get the army to resign en masse rather than prevent the peaceful transition of power.
“They may try, but they’re not going to f**king succeed,” Milley reportedly told his deputies. “You can’t do this without the military. You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with the guns.”
Milley reportedly viewed Trump as “the classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose.” He drew parallels between Hitler’s rhetoric and Trump’s worries about the 2020 election.
“This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley told aides, referring to the 1933 episode when the German parliament caught fire. Historians disagree on the ultimate cause of the fire (many claim the Nazis themselves set it), but Hitler blamed the communists and used the fire as an excuse to suspend the civil liberties of Germans.
Milley said Trump was following “the gospel of the Führer.”

These Nazis keep bring up their Führer
This is one general that deserves a firing squad. Keep getting these types of butt kissing losers and we’ll have a Hitler.
Not kidding.
He’s so woke, he can’t wake up.
I find it ironic that he was talking about Trump being part of a coup, meanwhile, has he looked in the mirror, and thought about what he supported in November 2020?
what did he call Burning Looting Mobs and Antifa who actually did riot, complete with looting and burning?
He’s Barry’s butt boy.
His appearance is right out of Central Casting for a Military Chief. What’s in his Cuckoo-Clock of a head is right out of some Comic Book about Bizarro-ville, where everything good is bad, and everything bad is good.
Take over education, take over media, take over military....
Planned pattern or just coincidence?
This poor excuse for a soldier needs to be hung.
This is proof positive that he colluded with the CCP to steal an election by way of a bioweapon.
Sorry general, but we’re not anti-Semites and extreme Jew haters the way your side of the political aisle truly is. I think Antifa and BLM are much closer to your “Brownshirts” comparison!
Sooo... If true, why didn’t the summer blmtifa riots get put down?
Treasonous SOB.
We’d have lost WWII with pantywaists like him in charge.
I mean literally 6 people watch CNN anymore and 5 are in the Cuomo family
Exactly what they themselves are doing.
Ok
I can’t stand this little bottom b*tch. I’d gladly turn him over to isis and never look back.
General Fainting Priss.
The definition of FRAG.
Genital Mark Milley
