Trump slammed over ‘shameful’ decision to revoke top general’s security

[spidermike007]

Two of the problems with this rather small man who is now the leader of the Free World, is that he's incredibly petty and highly emotional, his skin is very thin, he gets hurt very easily (my guess is due to a lack of self-esteem), and he tends to be very vindictive. None of those are what you would refer to as good qualities for a leader, much less a leader in his position. 

 

He is such a poor sport. Such a goon.

Even at the best, he violated the chain of command.

If you are referring to Mark Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff he was not in the chain of Command!

 

 While the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff outranks all other commissioned officers, the chairman is prohibited by law from having operational command authority over the armed forces; however, the chairman assists the president and the secretary of defense in exercising their command functions! 

[spidermike007]

A lot of people without a military background and those who just simply do not bother to do any research or inform themselves, don't realize that there are only 14 active four-star generals in the US Army at this point in time. They also don't seem to understand the fact that Milley was formerly The Joint Chief of Staff in addition to being a four-star, which makes him a very serious, and highly accomplished man, and someone who is definitely worthy of protecting. 

 

However Trump has absolutely no respect for the Armed Forces and the sacrifices these soldiers make, so this is something that would be very typical of his lack of a sense of honor, decorum, nor his sense of duty, decency, patriotism, or dignity. Milley is a patriot, the coward draft dodger is not.

He is just a vengeful pathetic little ahole. 

The problem is obviously that this does not surprise anybody. And >70,000,000 Americans voted for him knowing his mental issues.

I am wondering if Trump will be seeking to fire the Secret Service member who refused to drive him to the Capitol on January 6.

Anther reflexive and empty comment. Whoever those lefties may have been, were any of them in a position of power to actually pull the Secret Service protection from Trump? You got any evidence that it was actually considered by people in authoritative position?

It is part of the job.  If he wants protection, he can pay for it himself. 

In other words, his life may depend on whether or not he can afford a security detail.

Nothing says you can't post, I just don't know why you feel the need to as an Australian, and especially a thread that seems to want to protection for  neocons and warmongerers that were involved in some of the wars started under obama. If anything you should be supporting Trump in removing their Gov taxpayer fundednsecurity, make them pay for their own, but because it IS Trump your moral compass has flipped 180.

 

What happens at Presidential level often influences Australian politics and business as it does with other countries around the world. trump ideology source is paleo conservatism, whether he personally understands I doubt, but look it up for some insight.

Second, Gen. Mark Milley deserves to be severely punished for his opposition to Trump while Milley was active-duty and Trump was President: This disloyalty to the Commander in Chief is called treason. 

 

No, disloyalty to the Commander in Chief is not called treason.

I don't think it's a false narrative to say Trump's tariffs will probably cost the American consumer billions.

 

Pretty much every single article I've read about this, agrees on the likely outcome. 

 

Here's just one example, with a quote from the president of the US National Retail Federation. 

 

Trump Tariff Proposals Could Cost Americans $78 billion

“A tariff is a tax paid by the U.S. importer, not a foreign country or the exporter. This tax ultimately comes out of consumers’ pockets through higher prices.”

It is quite possible you are alive today because of Gen Milley (though I'm not sure the species is better off for that).

 

After his loss and inability to accept defeat, 45 actually asked the Defense Dept about nuking China. He though if he started a nuclear war, he could declare a national emergency and remain in power. 45 was mouthing off about his idea in sessions with the Joint Chiefs, and Gen Milley feared that 45's total lack of control and whining about losing might have the guy Tweet or say something in a presser, which would get China to react and launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the US.

 

Gen Milley called his counterpart in China and told the general to ignore any bizarre statements and that adults were in control. Included in the adults, who discussed this matter and agreed Gen Milley should make the call were SecDef Esper, SecState Pompeo, and DCI Haspel.

 

There are a precious few people in history who saved the world from nuclear holocaust. Two are Russian and one is General Milley.

Your support of traitorous General Milley is to be well expected

But the how and what the US government does security wise   for 2 ex Trump officals does not and never will effect your life whatsoever, just the same as US social security paymants won't either, at the end of the day, you have an unhealthy obsession with Trump, the media has done a full on brainwashing job on you, as it has millions of other non US citizens. I would hazard a guess you comment on Trump more than you ever have on you own countries politics.

In fact, i haven't see you start 1 Aussie related thread, but seen at least 10 domestic US ones from you.

Shame we are banned from using the 3 letter acronym, but its higly appropriate for cases like yours

If there's any derangement on evidence here, it's on the part of someone who makes such addled and unhinged diagnoses. It's also evidence that a person who makes such judgement lacks the necessary knowledge to offer reasoned arguments. Which is sad in a person who claims to be a U.S. citizen.

War ending in 24 hours was a lefty narrative. Stating it unlikely would result in a holiday by lightening bolt and the enforcers. The false narrative was Russia had no weapons and no money to fight the war that "madman" Putin started for no reason. Biden in charge of Ukrainian state prosecutors, western army bases and biolabs also verboten. Another hysterically false lefty narrative. Hows that working out for you?

 

And yes, some illegals ate pets. Youre welcome.

Is circumventing the Commander in Chief and contacting the leader of China and offering to  notify them in the event of an attack not providing aid to the enemy?
