Trump calls Milley a 'f---ing idiot' over Afghanistan withdrawal
The Hill ^ | 12/05/21 05:59 PM EST | BY JOSEPH CHOI

Former President Trump on Saturday called Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley a "f---ing idiot" during an event at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday while talking about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In video shared by Florida attorney Ron Filipkowski on Saturday, Trump could be seen addressing a crowd and speaking about the military planes that were left behind when the U.S. pulled forces out of Afghanistan. Trump claimed that Milley told him that leaving the planes behind was cheaper than moving them to another country.

"That's when I realized he was a f---ing idiot," Trump said, eliciting a wave of laughter from the crowd.

Trump had apparently suggested filling the aircrafts with "a half a tank of gas" and moving them to Pakistan or back to the U.S.

Sometimes I get the feeling Trump’s gut feelings are decent, but he then some advisor tells him to retain people. Trump would do much better if he didn’t listen to establishment types or the media and every time he runs into someone woke he fires their ass. (Assuming he runs and wins in ‘24)

It took him that long to realize what a POS Milley is? How about his reaction to clearing the park of rioters?

That’s partisan and divisive. Milley is thoroughly modern./s

Exactly I feel the same way..Trump should always go with his gut, but then he listens to the people around him who end up changing his mind, and for the worse..he should always go with his gut

Milley last seen clutching pearls in a safe space. A casualty of “white rage”.
