Donald Trump is fuming after reports of a new book that says current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley believed Trump wanted to stage a coup to stay in power.
Two Washington Post journalists, Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, in their book, “I Alone Can Fix It,” alleged that Miley believed Trump would attempt to remain in power after the election via a coup.
Trump sent a message to his supporters via his Save America Pac in which he called for Miley to be court martialed.
“Despite the fact that the 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged and Stolen, and while numerous people, including the outside public, were saying we should bring in the Military, I never even gave it a thought. The writings within these third-rate books are Fake News, and ‘General’ Milley (who [former Defense Secretary James] Mattis wanted to send to Europe in order to get rid of him), if he said what was reported, perhaps should be impeached, or court-martialed and tried,” he said in the email.
“So, there was no talk of a coup, there was no coup, it all never happened, and it’s just a waste of words by fake writers and a General who didn’t have a clue,” he said.
Of course, generals, like any member of the military, cannot be impeached. Impeachment is limited to those who are president, vice president and civil officers.
And while a general can be court martialed it is exceedingly rare. The book alleges that Gen. Milley was preparing for a showdown with the president, CNN reported.
The book recounts how for the first time in modern US history the nation’s top military officer, whose role is to advise the president, was preparing for a showdown with the commander in chief because he feared...

He is walking into their trap.
UCMJ article 133 at a minimum.
"Trump really stepped in it this time! It's all over for him now!" #263,453,329
“A courts martial is a legal proceeding for military members that is similar to a civilian court trial. It is usually reserved for serious criminal offenses like felonies. For less serious criminal offenses or breaches of military decorum and regulations, a Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) is usually held.”
I’m thinking NJP. But, Trump knows how to get clicks and that’s probably the goal here.
This general seems to think the U.S. is a banana republic and he is generalissimo.
He should be Court Martialed.
If Trump really wanted a coup - we would still be in the Capital building
Unfit for duty and a total disgrace to the military
Thoroughly Modern Milley spouting his BLM and CRT BS. He should be court martialed.
I wonder if he regrets giving them the interview tome for the book??
He can call for it all he’d like. That doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. If anything, the likeliness that General Milley will face any consequences for his “crime” is exceedingly low.
No batch of US military globalist officers would convict him.
But Milley is a traitor and a coward. A coward for putting his finger to the wind and deciding to be popular.
Milley: Give me a hand grenade, grunt, and I’ll tackle that pillbox.
Grunt: Oh general, you better not because those pills make you go crazy. Besides, you’ll miss the big gala with Joe and Jill Biden.
Milley: You’re right soldier, pass me my neatly pressed ceremonial uniform.
Grunt: The ones with the gold lapels and the medal you got for helping Castro and Cuba?
Milley: Yes, and make sure I have the decorations from the North Korean and Chinese people on it.
Grunt: You are one of the most decorated soldiers out there.
Milley: Well, those North Korean generals still have more decorations than I do. So I have to butter up Joe a bit more.
Grunt: How are you going to do that?
Milley: Well, I shine his shoes and pick up after him at high level meetings. And I dance to Tommy James and the Shondells when his wife is around.
Grunt: Do you do a striptease act for her?
Milley: Yeah, kinda. She has a pole for me to swing on and I put on a costume with high heels.
Grunt: Don’t your feet hurt afterwards?
Milley: Yeah, but it’s worth it. What I do for this country, eh!
Grunt: They should give you another medal!
Milley: Two medals!!!

Can’t agree more. But Court’s Marshal is not what you can bring him to for the aforementioned events.
There was a coup. The result was a senile old crook being installed as President.
He is fat too! Look at the lard on his fat neck. That tailored uniform cannot hide it.
No wonder we failed in Iraq and Afghanistan with guys like him running the show.
An officer saying the President of the United States, without any evidence, is planning a coup is more than a little contemptuous, no?

bwaaahahah natiled it.
