Key Points

    Former President Donald Trump denied ever considering or discussing any plan to carry out a coup to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.

    Trump lashed out at top-ranking Gen. Mark Milley, who reportedly feared in the wake of the 2020 election that Trump or his allies might attempt a military coup to stay in power, a new book says.

    “If I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley,” Trump said in the statement.

    Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, began informally strategizing about how to guard against such a move by Trump or those around him, the book says.

It seems to me plotting against a sitting president, with absolutely no evidence of a plot for a coup except in the fertile minds of the media and Nazi Pelosi, is treason.  In another article, just posted, he claims top generals were all going to resign if Trump tried to pull off a coup.  In this statement, more evidence of treason by the joint chiefs.  Besides, how do "warriors" stop a coup if they all turn chickensh*t and run?

Milley is way too concerned with civilian scenarios and political things.

His job is to fight foreign wars, and that's all.

He seems itching to get the military to do something here on our own soil against the Dems political enemies.

It is more plausible to say Milley is complicit in a coup than to say he was concerned about stopping one.

Since Milley was proven totally wrong by events, was he lying to curry favor with the LIEden MalAdministration or was he admitting being a horrible judge of character, unsuitable for leadership?
