on last night's show, two days after the insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Milley — a man who was tapped by Trump to serve as the nation's senior military officer — had a difficult conversation with his counterpart in China, who feared that the United States had become an unstable power that could collapse. Indeed, Beijing wasn't even sure whether Trump might start some kind of war — perhaps even targeting China — as part of a wild bid to hold power.
On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly also spoke to Milley in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot, and the California Democrat also expressed concern that the erratic and unhinged president might launch some kind of dangerous military strike. Pelosi remained concerned, telling the general, in reference to Trump,"He's crazy. You know he's crazy." Milley responded,"I agree with you on everything."
MaddowBlog If Trump thinks Gen. Milley's actions were treasonous, let Trump come and explain his reasoning to Congress. Under oath.
MaddowBlog You mean like targeting the wrong thing with a drone and killing 11 innocent civilians? Letting Afghanistan get over run by the Taliban before you get people out and our equipment? How many wars did Trump start again?
MaddowBlog Looking for a way to drive his career upward?

MaddowBlog Nothing wrong with what he did. Let's move on from TFG!

MaddowBlog Which is not his job. If Trump comes back, Milley will move to Kansas.
MaddowBlog Right. And all that they have to show for is a botched exit from Afghanistan, 13 soldiers dead, Americans left behind, and a botched drone attack leaving 7 kids killed after 8 hours of following them thinking they were terrorists. 🤦🏻♂️ Good job 👍

MaddowBlog Oh, so he was acting outside of the chain of command by adding himself to the process. Also, quick reminder that Trump was the only President in decades to keep us out of war. Great job everyone!

MaddowBlog Officers have an obligation *not* to obey *unlawful* orders. As the top military advisor, he was supposed to be part of the decision-making process. He made sure his subordinates knew he was not going to let an *unlawful* order get past him. He put his career at risk to do so.
MaddowBlog Is it a good idea to keep giving Trump air time?

Upcoming book reports Gen. Milley worried Trump might start a war with China in final monthsAn upcoming book by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa reports that General Mark Milley was concerned during former President Trump's final months in office that he might start a war with China, and went so far as to contact his Chinese counterpart in secret to assuage their concerns. Michael Schmidt, Phil Rucker, and Admiral James Stavridis join Andrea Mitchell to discuss that and other revelations from the book. The only surprise is that it wasn't his first months in office. In January 2021 I tweeted TFG was willing to do anything to stay POTUS. Now he's willing to do anything to become POTUS again. Patriotic Americans should never let that happen. TFG is a dangerous psychopath who? should never control the power of the United States ever again! Trump’s taxes reveal details about his Business activities in China, controlled by Trump International Hotel Management, including a previously unknown bank account…Trump won’t Touch China.

Trump from misusing the country's nuclear arsenal during the last month of his presidency, according to a new book by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. Redefining treason ? Even though, if the reporting was accurate, it would be reason for Court Marshal for Milley to do so as described in their book. Nice spin NBC! He was not the POTUS, this is insubordination. Milley will be court-martialed.
