'Most dangerous person ever': Trump general reportedly warns he's 'fascist to the core'

Bob Woodward writes in his book “War” that retired General Mark Milley, who served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Trump administration, called Donald Trump a “fascist.” MSNBC’s Ali Velshi explains why in a “normal new world, this would be all everyone was talking about” but this isn’t so now that we live in the Trump-era.

General Milley is a highly respected military officer. When he says this about Trump, someone he saw every day for years in all the chaos, believe him.

HUGE respect for General Milley, a man of huge integrity.

[jerryramsey]

That's some serious talk that TRUMP just can't handle. Proud to stand behind Harris and Walz and the city of Detroit. Paint the whole world blue 💙

One thing I've learned in my 57 years is when someone has to repeatedly tell everyone how smart they are, they're not very smart at all.

I'm SOOO glad Gen. Milley finally SAID THIS... I feel exactly the same as he does about the chump.

[patcomerford]

"We speak her name", muchas gracias VP Harris and the late Maria Delores. Vote Blue. 💙💙💙

The economy always does better under the Dems...

Vote 💙 folks!

So great to listen to this woman, this wonderful human being, who has a positive message, for a better future, instead of civil war.

I served in the Army-MP Corps under Nixon and realized at the time I was working among some of the most capable and honorable men I'd ever met in my young life. In the intervening years, many men and women in every branch of the service have impressed me similarly with their dedication, principles, and sense of self-sacrifice. Now in the sunset years of my life, all those former high examples together have not made me prouder to be a veteran - or for that matter an American - than General Milley has. And Donald Trump thinks he deserves to die for daring to speak truth to power. Vote the whole GOP into extinction for tolerating and encouraging this madness! And it truly is insanity...

Finally people are saying the truth about T. T. insults everyone who doesn’t 3:27 give him his way. He is an adult bully and brat!

[wallnuts]

From Australia I just want to say I’m so scared of a trump government. He abused our prime minster last time. He’s a grub.

[KirstenHockaday]

As a retired Marine, I could never vote for anyone who treats veterans and the military like the Orange Traitor does. Generals do not get to their positions by lying or being untrustworthy. I stand with General Milley in his rejection of the Orange Traitor.

[garygibson]

His projection is his admission of guilt! It never fails! Lock him up!
🗳️💙🇺🇸💙🗳️💙🇺🇸💙✌️

Voted 💙 in Pennsylvania!
We need Kamala and Tim! 💖

[johnk]

I'm amazed at this guy is actually running for president and isn't already convicted and imprisoned. I'm voting blue that's for sure

[achiricu]

He now even insults those who have agreed & support him. He's not well.

[utethornburg]

I agree with Trump on this, the enemy from within is the most dangerous. It’s YOU TRUMP, you’re the biggest threat to the country

[junanougues]

My favorite General from that time he apologized to the American People. For not seeing clearly enough how he was manipulated to go along with one of Trump's most shameful moments in the White House. That took character and big love of 🇺🇸 country. Integrity.

[patcomerford]

Thank you General Milley for your service and your unambiguous comments on the traitor trump.👏👏👏💙💙💙

[MyDisavow]

And Milley educated. He knows what a fascist is.
