'They're not going to f**king succeed': Top generals feared Trump would attempt a coup after election, according to new book

 

The top US military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, was so shaken that then-President Donald Trump and his allies might attempt a coup or take other dangerous or illegal measures after the November election that Milley and other top officials informally planned for different ways to stop Trump, according to excerpts of an upcoming book obtained by CNN.

 

The book, from Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, describes how Milley and the other Joint Chiefs discussed a plan to resign, one-by-one, rather than carry out orders from Trump that they considered to be illegal, dangerous or ill-advised.

 

The book, "I Alone Can Fix It," scheduled to be released next Tuesday, chronicles Trump's final year as president, with a behind-the-scenes look at how senior administration officials and Trump's inner circle navigated his increasingly unhinged behavior after losing the 2020 election. The authors interviewed Trump for more than two hours.

Gen. Milley Thought Trump Preached ‘Gospel of the Fuhrer’ After 2020 Election, New Book Says

 

General Mark Milley even reportedly went so far as to draw a comparison between Trump and Adolf Hitler.

 

Additionally, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs apparently worried that the president would try to cling to power, but wasn’t worried, because — according to Leonnig and Rucker — as he told aides, “You can’t do this without the military. You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with guns.
