President Donald Trump has fired Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In a Truth Social post on Friday evening, Trump announced he was nominating Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan Caine to replace Brown.
Trump thanked Brown for his service, calling him a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, wishing him and his family a great future.
“General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience,” wrote Trump.

Trump hates African-Americans! (I’ll take the “Trump hates ____” discussion out of their mouths before they start)
Brown should have kept his racist views to himself.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan 'Razin' Caine.
The court will reinstate with back pay. Don’t get too excited.
Brown did everything to show his anti-white views, short of walking around wearing a sandwich board, printed with those statements, and yelling through a megaphone.
He thought expressing such views made him some kind of Hero.
He had more medals than Dwight Eisenhower.
Replaces is the better word. The media playing their games.
Bye! Good luck. You’re an A-hole.
Charles Q. Brown, the first Black Air Force Chief of Staff and later Joint Chiefs Chairman, has consistently emphasized DEI as a strategic priority. In 2020, amid national protests following George Floyd’s murder, he released a video addressing racial disparities in the military, drawing from personal experiences—like being mistaken for a lower-ranking enlisted member despite his officer status due to his race. He called for “tough conversations” on racism and inclusion, signaling a proactive stance. That year, he told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, “I hire for diversity, because they all bring a different perspective, which makes my decisions that much better.” This reflects a belief that diverse teams enhance operational effectiveness, not just social equity.
Under his leadership, the Air Force implemented DEI-focused policies. A 2021 initiative adjusted flight school selection criteria, capping prior flight hours counted toward qualifications at 60, aiming to level the playing field for minority applicants who might lack early access to private flight training—disproportionately white and affluent groups. This reportedly added 69 Hispanic and 26 Black qualified applicants.
He supports race quotas. In August 2022, Brown signed a memo setting demographic goals for Air Force applicants: 67.5% white, 13% Black, and 10% Asian, compared to the officer corps’ then-77% white and 6% Black makeup
On the Air Force Office of Diversity and Inclusion website, he’s quoted: “I want the wisdom and knowledge to lead, participate in, and listen to necessary conversations on racism, diversity and inclusion.”
In a 2023 Senate confirmation hearing for Joint Chiefs Chairman, he defended DEI, tying it to military readiness: diverse perspectives, he argued, strengthen decision-making against adversaries like China or Russia.
Well, if that wasn't him, who was that?

I know Trump swore him in, but I had an uneasy feeling about him, the first time I ever saw him. I had the same feeling about Mike Pence, the first time I ever saw him too.
Over a period of time I got a creepy feeling about Pence. Something about his way of posing I guess.
GO AIR FORCE!
You could see his racist anger seething under the surface all the time. It’s not like he’s downtrodden, considering how far he’s progressed in his career.
Was he the Chief for Trashcanistan withdrawal?
I can’t specifically say why I had the uneasy feeling about Pence. I just did. 😜
Gen Caine has been a Special Operations Officer for years. He’ll make a fine Chairman of the JCS.
Yank his security clearances today.
