Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclear weapons
CNN ^ | September 14, 2021 | Jeremy Herb

Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump's top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took top-secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to "Peril," a new book by legendary journalist Bob Woodward and veteran Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.

Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'

Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write.

So this POS says our President Trump was in mental decline and he took action he had no authority to take, but does not think China-Joe-Ho Biteme is in mental decline.

Leavenworth would be too good a place for this general.

I didn’t see Milley’s name on the ballot.

It must have been there in invisible ink!

What an ass. What a liar. What a fruitcake. Pure garbage and puffery.
He should be tried and hung for treason.

Fake news? Possibly. Given what we have seen since Biden assumed office, you think there is any doubt this incompetent, statist excuse for a US Military officer is incapable of this lunacy?

Because I sure don’t.

The fact that it is the “legendary” Woodward should make us all pause, but when you have cables with small chew marks and rats aplenty, there isn’t much doubt vermin are involved.

General Dud is trying to deflect from his awful leadership and disastrous retreat.

“Treason if true”

Whether that will stick, it’s for sure that Milley’s the one that went rogue.

Translation: “Worried that Trump would go rogue, the general went rogue.”

This is a lie. Trump is the first President in my lifetime to neither start another war or escalate one and THAT'S why Milley hated him.
