President Donald Trump doesn’t like former general Mark Milley. One of the first official acts of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was to revoke Milley’s security clearance and cancel his bodyguards. That’s what he gets for talking to the Chinese behind Trump’s back.
General Milley insecure
Former general Mark Milley is feeling really insecure since Donald Trump took charge again. The Pentagon just revoked his “security detail and clearance.”
The liberal media makes it out to imply he’s simply being persecuted for being “critical” of Trump. There’s a lot more to it than that.
Incoming Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made attacking the general one of his first official actions.
Along with yanking his security clearance and canceling Secret Service protection, officials have been ordered to investigate Milley’s “conduct” and “review his military grade.”
At one time, General Milley was head of the joint chiefs of staff. That made him the highest ranking military official. He didn’t get along with Donald Trump, calling him a “fascist.”
He’s entitled to his opinion but talking to his Chinese counterparts on his own initiative was a whole different story.
Part of the purge
General Milley isn’t the only one facing retribution from President Trump. Since his second term began, “Trump has revoked security protections for a handful of former officials with whom he has clashed, including former top health official Anthony Fauci.”
Joe Biden knew they were both guilty of something, so provided them with blanket immunity pardons on his way out the door.
The last time he was in office, President Trump accused General Milley “of treason for phone calls he held with his Chinese counterpart during the final weeks of his first Trump presidency.”
After the feds instigated a partially successful barbarian invasion of the Capitol Building, Milley assured the Pooh Bear that he wasn’t planning to follow any orders Trump might choose to issue.
Even the BBC knows that Milley “used one of the calls to reassure China that the U.S. would not launch a nuclear strike.”
That’s not the sort of behavior we want to see in a ranking general. Trump described those calls as “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Too bad Joe pardoned him.
