In an interview on ā€œ60 Minutesā€ on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said he will take ā€œappropriate measuresā€ to make sure he and his family are safe in the wake of recent comments made by former President Trump.

Milleyā€™s words come after a Truth Social post by Trump last week calling the chairman a ā€œWoke train wreckā€ and accusing him of treason, seeming to reference calls made by Milley to China for reassurance at the end of Trumpā€™s term.

ā€œThis is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!ā€ Trumpā€™s post read. ā€œA war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!ā€

ā€œIā€™ve got adequate safety precautions,ā€ the military leader said in response to a question about his concern about his safety from CBSā€™s Norah Oā€™Donnell.

    Honestly, I gotta say maybe Trump is what the country needs.

    CALM DOWN

    hi

    Heā€™s exactly what we need to see the exact special treatment that the rich and powerful get. Heā€™s the shinning example of what kind of shit gets to fly through our machine unscathed.

      Could you imagine if a random charismatic person was the cause of Jan 6th? Theyā€™d be rotting in prison for the rest of their life. But oh golly gee, a rich guy? Itā€™s ok, he wonā€™t do it again.
