There is another book coming out about former.
I’m sure there will be lots of books written about trump. Some about how great he is which no one will believe except his supporters and books like this.
Some people will dismiss it as fiction. But we are talking about trump and I can see him saying stuff like this. It shows yet again trump’s callous disregard for other people’s lives.
I’m not a fan of protests because a lot of times, regardless of the intent of the organizers, they turn violet because a group attaches themselves to protest as a means to destroy things. But these folks would have been unarmed and to have the military just to start shooting…
I was fan of General Milley because of his answers in the hearing this week. But after reading what he supposedly said to Stephen Miller I’m really a fan. 😀
From CNN…
”Top US general rejected Trump suggestions military should 'crack skulls' during protests last year, new book claims”
From the article…
“Washington(CNN) The top US general repeatedly pushed back on then-President Donald Trump's argument that the military should intervene violently in order to quell the civil unrest that erupted around the country last year. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley often found he was the lone voice of opposition to those demands during heated Oval Office discussions, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.
Titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost," the book reveals new details about how Trump's language became increasingly violent during Oval Office meetings as protests in Seattle and Portland began to receive attention from cable new outlets. The President would highlight videos that showed law enforcement getting physical with protesters and tell his administration he wanted to see more of that behavior, the excerpts show.
&
Trump also told his team that he wanted the military to go in and "beat the f--k out" of the civil rights protesters, Bender writes.
"Just shoot them," Trump said on multiple occasions inside the Oval Office, according to the excerpts.
When Milley and then-Attorney General William Barr would push back, Trump toned it down, but only slightly, Bender adds.
"Well, shoot them in the leg—or maybe the foot," Trump said. "But be hard on them!"
&
At times, Milley also clashed with top White House officials who sought to encourage the then-President's behavior.
During one Oval Office debate, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in, equating the scenes unfolding on his television to those in a third-world country and claiming major American cities had been turned into war zones.
"These cities are burning," Miller warned, according to the excerpts.
The comment infuriated Milley, who viewed Miller as not only wrong but out of his lane, Bender writes, noting the Army general who had commanded troops in Iraq and Afghanistan spun around in his seat and pointed a finger directly at Miller.
"Shut the f--k up, Stephen," Milley snapped, according to the excerpts.”
