Recently, DJT has been attacking the Cheif of Staff Milley.
We know that Trump publicly attacked Jeff Sessions while Q+ (Trump) "Thank you for your service to our Country, Mr. Jeff Sessions!Your SACRIFICEs will never be forgotten. Q+"
We know optics are important. It would not look good if a publicly pro Trump general takes control.
One of the reasons why I have not yet jumped on the Milley hate train, is because his heel turn was so abrupt and over-the-top, that I wonder if he might be another stealth bomber.
Trump said in his statement the other day that Mattis and Obama told him not to trust Milley, which is exactly why he chose to trust him.
Mattis and Obama didn't trust Milley. Reconcile.
Haven't heard this, could you link? ty
Trump had a statement from his website yesterday, this may not be the website itself but it has a quote on mattis not liking Milley:

Scroll down to “I never even gave it a thought”
Edit I also remember the Obama (edit: removed firing) not liking milley quote as well but haven’t looked for it and need to stop procrastinating and grout my basement tile now
I never even gave it a thought July 16, 2021 / Statements by Donald J. Trump “Despite the fact that the 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged and Stolen, and while numerous people, including the outside public, were saying we should bring in the Military, I never even gave it a thought. The writings within these third-rate books are Fake News, and “General” Milley (who Mattis wanted to send to Europe in order to get rid of him), if he said what was reported, perhaps should be impeached, or court-martialed and tried. Never once did I have a discussion with him about bringing in the Military, or a “coup,” which makes sense, because I lost total confidence in him and the way he handled himself on our little walk to the church. He tries to be a tough guy, which he is not, but he choked beyond belief as soon as a microphone was stuffed in front of his face or, at the mere sight of the Fake News Media. So, there was no talk of a coup, there was no coup, it all never happened, and it’s just a waste of words by fake writers and a General who didn’t have a clue. What there was, was a Rigged and Stolen election, and those facts have come out, and are coming out, loud and clear. Because of the Rigged Election, our Country will suffer like perhaps never before with open Borders, Crime, and Inflation, which will eat everyone alive!”

Haha happy grouting!

In any event, I lost respect for Milley when we walked together to St. John’s Church July 15, 2021 / Statements by Donald J. Trump “Despite massive Voter Fraud and Irregularities during the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, that we are now seeing play out in very big and important States, I never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government. So ridiculous! Sorry to inform you, but an Election is my form of “coup,” and if I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley. He got his job only because the world’s most overrated general, James Mattis, could not stand him, had no respect for him, and would not recommend him. To me the fact that Mattis didn’t like him, just like Obama didn’t like him and actually fired Milley, was a good thing, not a bad thing. I often act counter to people’s advice who I don’t respect.
In any event, I lost respect for Milley when we walked together to St. John’s Church (which was still smoldering from a Radical Left fire set the day before), side by side, a walk that has now been proven to be totally appropriate—and the following day Milley choked like a dog in front of the Fake News when they told him they thought he should not have been walking with the President, which turned out to be incorrect. He apologized profusely, making it a big story, instead of saying I am proud to walk with and protect the President of the United States. Had he said that, it would have all been over, no big deal, but I saw at that moment he had no courage or skill, certainly not the type of person I would be talking “coup” with. I’m not into coups!
In fact, around the same time Milley, in a conversation, was an advocate of changing all of the names of our Military Forts and Bases. I realized then, also, he was a much different person than I had hoped. I said to him, “spend more time thinking about China and Russia, and less time on being politically correct.”
But never during my Administration did Milley display what he is showing now. He was not “woke.” Actually, I don’t believe he ever was, but the way I look at Milley, he’s just a better politician than a general, trying to curry favor with the Radical Left and the absolute crazy people espousing a philosophy which will destroy our Country!”

Yeah, I recall them saying this about Flynn, but I would also like a source on this... not saying it's wrong - could very well be true... just hadn't heard/read it.
I guess I ran a little fast and loose with the part about them "telling" Trump this, but he says he made the decision because Mattis and Obama didn't like Milley.
I think he is a white hat. I watched the hearing where he interjected his comments on critical race theory and his body language said he wants nothing to do with it and he is playing a game.
Remember Q said we are watching a movie. Some "villains" may not actually be the villains and some "heroes" may not be heroes.

He’s so much fun to rag on, though.
The Chief of Staff does not have operational authority and command over the military, The position is an advisory position to the POTUS, SoD, and HHS.
What you are suggesting by the optics is hypothetical and impossible to determine at the present time.
If Milley is having one of those (optics)fake-fights with Trump, the least he could do is NOT incite hate against white people. That seems like an unnecessary element that actually puts us in more danger everytime it's pushed. He coulda just said nothing at all.
Are you suggesting that privately, Milley is pro Trump?
In one of his last statements, his wording was awkward. Trump said Milley was chosen because James Mattis (one of the most overrated according to Trump) hated Milley.
Sometimes Trump says things that make one wonder like on Jan 6 he said it was braver for Pence to do nothing than to do something. Pence did nothing and the rats' fate was sealed perhaps?
Or at least working with the plan.
Good "out of the box" thinking. Anything is possible at this point.
Dude has got to be acting, playing his role.
It's crossed my mind
I refuse to believe that a man like Milley could have risen as far as he did, while saying all the asinine things he has in the past month. And what would Trump gain by publicly attacking him? It looks like Trump can't get along with anyone and was betrayed by everyone.
I have been saying the same thing. It came on too fast. Getting the left to defend him in advance of some future action? Honestly I think the same for Barr. Distance yourself as much as possible. In preparation for Durham? Who knows
Isnt Miley the one trying to keep critical race theory?
Q said "What makes a great movie?.....Great actors". Milley may be acting.
Yes. Exactly. Seems like a perfect issue to show he's not a Trump guy.
NO
not even for a minute
Milley is a deep state pussy. Deal with it.
