commander in chief, if necessary, not to foment a coup, but to prevent one. in statement responding to the milley reporting, trump said, quote, sorry to inform you but an election is my form of coup. if i was going to do a coup, one of the last people i d want it do it with is general mark milley. okay, i totally did not do a coup but if i did do a coup, it would not be with that guy. he s nagging milley about his coup abilities? milley is refusing to come out publicly by any of this. he has said his loyalty is to the country and the constitution. all of this is good, it s what we want to happen so an authoritarian president was not able to weaponize armed forces to keep himself in power after losing a free election.
