“No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” retired Army Gen. Mark A. Milley told Bob Woodward.
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff appears in the legendary Washington Post associate editor’s new book, “War,” released on Oct.r 15. Milley described Trump as “fascist to the core” and added: “Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”
Milley also declared in his September 2023 valedictory: “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, to a tyrant or dictator or wannabe dictator.”
Milley warned voters about the dark days that a Trump victory would unleash. But it seemed like morning in America when Milley revisited this topic on Monday, about 11:45 a.m.
“I’ve heard people say, ‘Donald Trump is Hitler’ or Mussolini or whatever. No, he’s not. I know the guy. I know him very well. He’s not Adolf Hitler,” Milley addressed JPMC Talks, an internal forum for JPMorgan Chase personnel. Milley’s previously unreported remarks continued: “We are not Weimar Germany. We didn’t just lose World War I. We’re not going to walk off the edge here.”
Milley also said, “It’s incumbent upon everyone, and I’ll lean into that, to make sure that President Trump and the future government succeed. Why? Because 350 million people are depending on that. So, that’s important, and it’s time for people to come together, meet in the middle, come together, and whatever differences you may have had, you put them aside. That’s the nature of the political experiment that we call the United States of America.”
