According to a new book, Donald Trump believed that American generals were less loyal to him than they were to Hitler.
"Why can't you be like the Germans?" According to an excerpt published online Monday, Trump asked Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general.
"Which generals?" Kelly said yes.
The excerpt of the book was written by New York Times White House reporter Peter Baker and New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser. The book is going to be published in September.
They tried to assassinate Hitler three times. According to the excerpt, Kelly said.
According to the excerpt, Trump said, "No, no, no, they were completely loyal to him."
Glasser and Baker said that Trump soured on Milley after he resisted his demands to have the military respond to protests outside the White House.
You are all loser. You are all loser's. According to the article, Trump said something to them.
Trump asked if he could just shoot them. Shoot them in the legs. The two people reported.
Trump said in an email that he relied on the real generals and admirals after he realized that Milley and other generals were untalented.
Keeping the U.S. out of wars was one of the accomplishments that Trump took responsibility for.
According to the book excerpt, Milley regretted walking through Lafayette Square with the president and his aides after the area outside the White House was cleared of protesters. A man is holding a bible near a church.
The New Yorker reported that Milley wrote a resignation letter that he didn't actually send.
The book excerpt states that General Milley wrote that Mr. Trump did not honor those who fought against the Nazis.
Milley wrote that it was obvious to him that he didn't understand world order. You don't know what the war was about. Many of the principles that we fought against were subscribed to by you. I can't be a part of that.
The idea of injured armed services members, including those in wheelchairs and missing limbs, participating in a huge military parade that he wanted in Washington on Independence Day was not a good one for Trump.
According to the article, Trump told Kelly that he didn't want wounded soldiers in the parade.
I don't think this looks good for me.
The parade never came to fruition after retired generals such as his then-Defense Secretary James Mattis and Air Force General Paul Selva strongly resisted the idea, which would have cost millions of dollars and damaged Washington's streets.
According to the excerpt, he said he would rather swallow acid.
When Kelly told Trump that he was going to organize the parade, the president didn't realize it was a joke.
According to the excerpt, Selva said that he didn't grow up in the US but in Portugal. The people who had the guns were shown in parades. We don't do that in this country.
It's what dictators do.
