A former top general in Donald Trump's administration "warned former colleagues" about the Republican presidential nominee's temperament and called him a "total fascist."
Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley was quoted in Bob Woodward's upcoming book, War, as saying Trump is "the most dangerous person ever" who could not control his authoritarian tendencies while in the White House.
"I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he's a total fascist," Milley told Woodward, reported The Guardian. "He is now the most dangerous person to this country."
Milley told Woodward that Trump is a "walking, talking advertisement of what he's going to try to do," recalling a 2020 Oval Office meeting in which Trump "yelled" and "shouted" about wanting to court marshall former generals who criticized him in the press.
Milley was apparently able to cool Trump down, but he fears others won't be so lucky if Trump clinches a second White House term. Upon his retirement, Milley said he has received "a non-stop barrage of death threats" since his retirement last year and fears he could become a target again.
"No one has ever been as dangerous to this country," said Milley.
Milley similarly warned of Trump's lack of restraint in a 2023 interview with The Atlantic, adding that Trump "will start throwing people in jail" if left unchecked. The magazine just endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Still Milley said he has "a lot of confidence in the general officer corps" and "confidence in the American people."
He told The Atlantic, "The United States of America is an extraordinarily resilient country, agile and flexible, and the inherent goodness of the American people is there. I've always believed that, and I will go to my grave believing that."

He's right!
He is absolutely right.
And totally!
I'm sure the general still respects and adheres to the oath he took to defend the constitution...
I'm equally sure that Trump never did and never would in the future should he, God forbid, get re-elected.
He needs to come out publicly, not through a book interview.
He does, and so does Gen. Kelly, Gen. McMaster and all the rest of them.
"We" should call them and tell them to come out in do 'timely' interviews in the here and now! Because otherwise it will be 'pigeon-holed.'
Racist, bigot, con man, nothing but white pimp who would sell his mother for a buck.
He's also white trash allegedly with money.
Trump has totally lost it. At his rally tonight he said American murderers are "very fine people" compared to immigrant criminals.
Some of the audience laughed at that because why? I think his audiences are starting to realize that he has nothing to say except rambling nonsense. The ones who didn't laugh looked like they didn't know what to think about that remark.
NO MORE TEA PAIN!
It’s hard for Trump to remember that he promised to drain the swamp before he decided that he like to swim in it.
it's a maga sewer, not a swamp ...
Best comment I've seen in quite a while!
