Donald Trump has launched a tirade targeting General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said he had to keep the former president in check during his presidency. Trump spared no words in his criticism and even went as far as to suggest that Milley’s actions might have warranted death.
General Milley’s Role in Restraining Trump
The catalyst for Trump’s outburst was a comprehensive report shedding light on how General Milley and other key officials worked to stop the former president acting on his worst impulses during his time in office. Trump, who had previously criticized Milley on various issues, could not contain his frustration.
Afghanistan Withdrawal Criticism
Trump launched a tirade, placing blame for the turmoil surrounding the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan squarely on Milley’s shoulders. He accused Milley of overseeing a grossly incompetent withdrawal that resulted in the loss of lives, the abandonment of American citizens, and the transfer of billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the Taliban.
Trump’s Celebration of Milley’s Departure
Discussing General Milley’s upcoming departure from the military, Trump took to his social media platform, created after his banishment from several others. He expressed his anticipation of what he termed “a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate.”
Donald Trump’s Words
Trump said: “Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving behind hundreds of American citizens, and handing over billions of dollars of the finest military equipment ever made, will be leaving the military next week. This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate!”
Woke Train Wreck
In his continued rant against Milley, Trump referred to him as a “woke train wreck.” The former president said that the general had deviated from his duty as a military leader and had engaged in discussions with China, potentially disclosing the thought process of the President of the United States.
A Serious Accusation
Trump’s allegations escalated to the point where he deemed Milley’s actions “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been death!” The former president even speculated about a potential war between China and the United States as a result of what he called a “treasonous act.”
A Treasonous Act
Trump wrote: “This guy turned out to be a woke train wreck who, if the fake news reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been death! A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act.”
The Internet’s Response
News of Trump’s outburst was shared across the internet and, for the most part, people were critical of him. One individual said: “Trump would also have faced a death penalty for attempting a coup in a lot of other countries and would have been executed within a week.”
A Traitorous Orange Clown
Another person wrote: “The traitorous orange clown who sparked the Jan 6 insurrection is calling out a lifelong military general? Everything he does is just downright outrageous. He needs a leash and a mussel! How any past or current service member could get behind this clown is bewildering.”
Trump Targeting Witnesses
Others looked for more potential motivations behind Trump’s words. One such individual said: “Making threats on social media to see what he can get by with. If he can’t target witnesses directly, he wants to do so implicitly.”
Squeaking His Indignation
Plenty of people left humorous comments. “As Trump gets older, he seems to be getting more and more shrill. Soon, he will sound like a bat, squeaking his indignation at the people on his lawn,” one individual wrote.
A Justice System Overhall
Another person wrote: “The fact that he’s still walking around and able to spew this nonsense while still being a political candidate shows how much of an overhaul our justice system needs. We’ve got the guy on video, on voice recording, and in print admitting to, or outright committing, crimes.”
An Unacceptable Situation
The commenter continued: “As we speed toward the 2024 election, the fact he’s still able to run, opening up the possibility of the disaster we are in for if he – and he absolutely can – gets reelected, is absolutely unacceptable.”
An Honorable Man
Plenty of people voiced respect for General Milley. One commenter said: “A pathetic, whiny loser showing contempt for an honorable man who’s served his country’s military for decades. Trump could never measure up to a man like Milley and he knows it.”
The End of American Democracy
Others found Trump’s words to be a stark warning of what could come if he’s reelected. “He’s really itching for revenge by execution. This [man] can’t be allowed anywhere near power again. Trump will be the end of our democracy,” one person said.
A Prison Sentence for Trump
A fair few commenters pointed out the former president’s hypocrisy. One individual wrote: “And if this was 1800, Donald Trump would have already been tried, convicted, and either hung or shot for failure to uphold the oath he took to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States on January 6th. Today, he will just get a prison sentence.”
Trump’s Haphazard Policies
Another person said: “Maybe if the military wasn’t backed into the quandary Trump put them in we wouldn’t have had those deaths. But Trump’s policies were always haphazard and never fully thought out so [chaos] has always been the result.”
A Medal for Milley
Some individuals even called for Milley to receive an award. “This general was brave to try and work around a crazy man in the Oval Office and avoid a third world war. He should get a medal,” one such commenter said.
