Former President Donald Trump once asked why American generals weren’t more like Nazis, according to a report. A New Yorker article examining how the Pentagon handled the national security threat “posed by their own Commander-in-Chief” published Monday includes a staggering exchange which allegedly took place between Trump and his White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a former U.S. Marine Corps general.
“You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?” Trump allegedly once asked Kelly. When Kelly asked which German generals Trump was referring to, the then-president answered: “The German generals in World War II.”
Kelly is said to have pointed out to Trump that Hitler’s generals tried to kill their führer “three times and almost pulled it off,” but Trump was said to disagree. “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” Trump allegedly said of Hitler’s generals.
1. When Trump's GOP yearns for the "good old days", this is what they mean.
6. Thank whatever stars that we had honorable military leaders at the JCoS to keep the Mango Menace in check, not some of his toadies, who would have gladly cleared Lafeyette Square by shooting the BLM protesters, as the Mango Menace wanted to do.
I've said all along that the JCoS, the line officers and the NCO's would refuse to obey any illegal orders, and it seems I was right all along.
Thank you General Milley and all the others, civilian and military, who worked to prevent the Mango Menace from starting a civil or foreign war.
18. How scary
Not only did TFG (once again) display the anti-intellectualism so many embrace by being uniformed on history (you know, something a real president would understand), he also wanted things for Hitler to be like for him during the time he occupied our White House.
