I hate to say this, I swear I do, but sometimes I really wish that Trump would just shut the hell up already<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump issues statement on Gen. Milley; calls him liar, trying to \u2018impress radical left,\u2019 calls for resignation
\nMilley later issued an embarrassing and groveling\u00a0apology for walking at my side to St. John\u2019s Church, which far-left rioters almost burned to the ground the day before. Instead of denouncing the rioters, he denounced himself\u2014a humiliation for our Military. A year later even the Fake News had to admit that their Lafayette Square narrative was a giant lie. Milley, once again, looked like a fool.<\/p>\n

Now, in yet another desperate ploy to impress the Radical Left\u00a0and keep his job,\u00a0Milley\u00a0made-up a false story that he yelled at me in the Situation Room.\u00a0This is totally Fake News. If\u00a0he had displayed such disrespect for his Commander-in-Chief I would have fired him immediately.<\/p>\n

To further ingratiate himself with Biden, progressive Media, and the Radical Left, Milley went to Congress and actually defended Critical Race Theory being shoved down the throats of our soldiers. This Marxist, racist anti-American propaganda has no place in our Military\u2014I banned these training programs, now Biden and the Pentagon have resumed them. As soon as possible, Congress must defund this racist indoctrination.<\/p>\n

Gen.\u00a0Milley\u00a0ought to resign, and be replaced with someone who is actually willing to defend our Military from the Leftist Radicals who hate our Country and our Flag.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Understand: there’s no love lost for Milley around these parts—NONE. Not for him, nor for any other of the Politicized Perfumed Princes of the Puzzle Palace. I deeply respect America’s true and faithful warriors, however many of them are left after the recent purges, and hold them in the highest esteem. The wretched, backstabbing Blue Falcons of the higher command echelons—Milley, Austin, and the rest? Eh, not so much.<\/p>\n

All that said, there’s a leeeeetle<\/em> problem with Trump’s richly-deserved condemnation of the Wokester rumpswab Milley. At this point, it should be simplicity itself to guess what it is.<\/p>\n

Trump Appoints Gen. Mark Milley Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff<\/a><\/strong>
\nPresident Trump made the announcement via Twitter on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“I am pleased to announce my nomination of four-star Gen. Mark Milley, Chief of Staff of the United States Army \u2014 as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing General Joe Dunford, who will be retiring,” Trump wrote. “I am thankful to both of these incredible men for their service to our Country! Date of transition to be determined.”<\/p>\n

Trump will attend the Army-Navy football game on Saturday afternoon. On Friday, Trump said he is nominating\u00a0William Barr\u00a0for attorney general, and\u00a0Heather Nauert\u00a0for U.N. ambassador.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Ought to resign,” eh? Please tell me, if you can: WHY THE FUCKING FUCK did you appoint the lousy bastard in the first<\/em> gott-damned place? Or, since you DID appoint his worthless ass, why did he not get the old heave-ho at the first intimation of his clearly duplicitous nature, something that became apparent pretty early on? What the hell ever happened to all that “I’ll hire only the best people” bushwa, anyway?<\/p>\n

I know, I know. Trump was naive; he was too trusting; he was in over his head; he had no idea how bad things really were in the Swamp; he was beset on every side, had no support, all that. So stipulated.<\/p>\n

BUT.<\/p>\n

He was also President of the United States of America<\/em>. That is NOT a purely symbolic office. While he was certainly hampered and hindered by all the Deep State anklebiting, he was by NO means without recourse, power, ability, or options, not at any point. No President is. Previous ones cleaned Executive Branch house upon first taking office as a matter of course, putting their own people in place throughout. Hell, his odious predecessor<\/a> did that very thing<\/a>. Trump swore all along that that’s what he<\/em> would be doing.<\/p>\n

But somehow, incomprehensibly and to not only his own but the nation’s detriment, he didn’t. Worse, even after repeated betrayals he allowed the selfsame scoundrels who had put their knives in his back<\/em> to keep their cushy sinecures. Which only enabled them to do it again, and again, and again. The only one I can recall him firing right offhand was Comey, and that was well after the damage had been done.<\/p>\n

No, don’t tell me why Trump couldn’t<\/em> have fired these snakes-in-the-grass; he damned sure could have, and he damned sure should<\/em> have. I don’t care to hear any more about why he couldn’t<\/em>; what I’m interested in now is why he didn’t<\/em>. Sure, the media and Demonrats would have screamed blue murder over it. So fucking what? They were going to anyway, and did, and still are.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, if any, Trump passively let his enemies have their way with him, never lifting a finger to do what so obviously needed to be done: get rid of them<\/em>. This out-of-character passivity not only cost him the Presidency, it may yet land him behind bars. Complaining about them now, saying they “ought to resign,” when he could have and should have taken action when he had the chance, is starting to sound too much like sniveling for my comfort.<\/p>\n

Remember, this is the guy who for years hosted a highly successful and quite popular TeeWee show called The Apprentice<\/a><\/em>, whose first-order raison d’etre<\/em> was that on each episode…TRUMP WOULD FIRE SOMEBODY’S ASS<\/em>. So we know that handing out the ol’ pink slips was not something he was ever reluctant to do.<\/p>\n

Until he became President.<\/p>\n

I still don’t think Trump is stupid. Nor is he weak, timid, indecisive, or incompetent. So I can come up with no reasonable explanation for the failure to exercise his clear prerogative as head of the Executive Branch to remove disloyal underlings who were openly defying and undermining him—many of whom were hired or appointed by him in the first damned place<\/em>—and installing more trustworthy replacements willing to respect him personally and cooperate with him professionally. It’s beyond baffling.<\/p>\n

What the hell is going on here, exactly?<\/p>\n
