When the left lose the support of The Atlantic, they are in serious
trouble.
When the Right loses support of the
military they are in serious trouble.
U.S. Generals are raising the alarm
Sep 16
President Trump is actively working to
undermine every major institution in this
country. He has planted the seeds of doubt
in the minds of many Americans that our
institutions aren�t functioning properly.
And, if the president doesn�t trust the
intelligence community, law enforcement,
the press, the military, the Supreme Court,
the medical professionals, election
officials and the postal workers, then why
should we? And if Americans stop believing
in the system of institutions, then what is
left but chaos and who can bring order out
of chaos: only Trump."
Admiral William McRaven
Former Commander of U. S. Special
Operations Command
"Donald Trump is the first president in
my lifetime who does not try to unite the
American people � does not even pretend
to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We
are witnessing the consequences of three
years of this deliberate effort�. The Nazi
slogan for destroying us�was Divide and
Conquer"
General James Mattis
Retired U. S. Marine Corps General
Secretary of Defense for President Trump
"I never believed that the Constitution
was under threat until recently�. The
slide of the United States into
illiberalism may well have begun on
June 1, 2020. Remember the date. It may
well signal the beginning of the end of
the American experiment�. There is no
precedent in modern U.S. history for a
president to wield federal troops in a
state or municipality over the objections
of the respective governor."
Lt. General John Allen
Former Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan
"While some of us hold policy positions
that differ from those of Joe Biden and
his party, the time to debate those policy
differences will come later. For now, it
is imperative that we stop Trump�s assault
on our nation�s values and institutions and
reinstate the moral foundations of our
democracy."
General Michael Hayden
Retired Air Force four-star general,
Former Director of the National Security
Agency, and Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency
"We are dealing with a lawless President
who has no allegiance to our Constitution
or values. Trump is igniting a fire of
violence. He is sowing division. Trump is
involved in massive and constant abuse of
power. His every instinct is extortionist.
How can Republican Senators abide by his
thuggish behavior. We have never encountered
such a terrible man in the Presidency."
General Barry McCaffrey
Retired U.S. Army General
We have a Constitution. And we have to
follow that Constitution. And the President
has drifted away from it�. The first thing
that troubled me is the whole birthers
movement�. And then I was deeply troubled by
the way in which he was going around insulting
everybody, insulting Gold Star mothers,
insulting John McCain, insulting immigrants�.
that is dangerous for our democracy. It is
dangerous for our country�."
General Colin Powell
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
"I don�t think Trump tells the truth�
I think he is, immoral� Am I really
willing to throw away or ignore some of
the things that people do that are � are
pretty unacceptable normally just because
they accomplish certain other things that
we might like?"
General Stanley McChrystal
commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan
"Trump laid bare his disdain for the
rights of peaceful protest in this country,
gave succor to the leaders of other
countries who take comfort in our domestic
strife, and risked further politicizing the
men and women of our armed forces."
Admiral Mike Mullen
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
"Trump�s response to bounty, even if not
briefed, was weak� his first reaction
was not, �How can I protect the troops?�
It was, �How can I protect myself?��
As is so often the case with President
Trump, the welfare of the nation and of
our troops did not come up. This is not
what leadership looks like. These are not
the actions of someone who serves � or
even cares about � the troops to whom he
has a duty. These are the actions of a
man concerned with self-preservation and
little else."
General Wesley Clark,
Four-star U.S. Army General
