Trump reacted vehemently to these revelations, calling\u200d Milley\u200d a \u2063\u201cdumbass\u201d and \u200csuggesting he could be tried for\u2062 treason.

The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and four-star Army general openly expressed his views on former President Donald Trump before the presidential election, as well as his own apprehensions. In Bob Woodward&#8217;s book &#8220;War,&#8221; Milley revealed to Woodward that he feared being recalled to duty if Trump won, facing a court-martial for &#8220;disloyalty,&#8221; according to an October report by The Washington Post. What led him to believe this? Perhaps it was because he previously disclosed to Woodward that he had engaged in secret communications with Chinese military leader Gen. Li Zuocheng both before and after the 2020 election, pledging to inform him in case of a U.S. attack due to their established rapport through backchannels.<\/p>\n<p>Trump reacted strongly, labeling Milley a &#8220;dumbass&#8221; and suggesting that if the allegations were true, Milley should be tried for treason for communicating with China without presidential knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>The book also detailed how Milley created an informal command structure during Trump&#8217;s final months in office, undermining constitutional civilian control over the military. In Woodward&#8217;s latest work, Milley described Trump as &#8220;fascist to the core&#8221; and &#8220;the most dangerous person&#8221; in America.<\/p>\n<p>This raises questions about Milley&#8217;s political judgment alongside his military record during Biden&#8217;s administration when he oversaw a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan\u2014an event seen as one of America&#8217;s most humiliating moments since Saigon\u2014and made incorrect predictions regarding Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s unlikely he&#8217;ll face court-martial\u2014an action rarely taken in U.S. history for serious offenses\u2014Milley&#8217;s real concern may lie with how history will judge him for these events rather than any immediate repercussions from Trump or others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2367747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Trump-and-Milley.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[44860,44859,3634],"class_list":["post-2367746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-court-martial","tag-mark-milley","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Trump-and-Milley.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2367746"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2367750,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367746\/revisions\/2367750"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2367747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2367746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2367746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2367746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
