In a contentious call with the nation's governors Monday, Trump described Joint Chiefs Chairman U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley as 'a warrior' with 'a lot of victories and no losses,' according to audio obtained by NBC.

A senior Defense official told reporters Tuesday that the nation's highest-ranking military officer's role had not changed, a day after President Donald Trump told governors he was putting the four-star general "in charge" of efforts to quell demonstrations over the death of George Floyd.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media, as Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, right, listens during a briefing with senior military leaders in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Monday, Oct. 7, 2019.

"He hates to see the way it's being handled in the various states. And I've just put him in charge," Trump added.

The Generals expression is like ...

Don't forget a majority of our senators and representatives have been in office for 20+ years and did nothing during that time to fight racism. They won't do anything now. It's time we replace people like Pelosi, McConnell and Schumer. Career politicians on both sides need to go.

trump is a disease and we desperately need a cure. He kills everything he touches. Now he has his hands on a nation.

Same DNA

Too late! Milley has already tarnished his reputation. He became a prop and is therefore no longer credible

Wonder if trump’s departments and agencies ever tire of walking back his claims?

Pentagon official says Defense Secretary Esper and Chairman Milley were not aware of Trump church photo op plan'Their understanding was that they were going out of the White House to go into a Lafayette Park to review the efforts to address the protests,' the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity added. I can't wait to shit on his grave. GOP leaders praised Trump's action of forceful moving peaceful protesters for a photo-op. Republicans are trying to move government toward fascism. More and more live video shows that they are organized! The US should check whether the Chinese consulate is organizing these things! These are organized actions! Chinese habits in the United States do not do such things spontaneously.
