57“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post on his Truth Social site.

On further analysis, it appears Trump is not suggesting Milley be court-martialed for the decades of atrocities committed under his command in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo ... jesus fuck this guy was in charge of Fort Bragg? Summary execution on the spot.
