| Gen. Mark A. Milley, the country's top military leader, grew increasingly nervous after the 2020 election, telling aides he worried that the president and his acolytes may attempt to use the military to stay in office, according to the book "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year," by Washington Post reporters Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker.
Milley described "a stomach-churning" feeling as he listened to Trump's false claims of election fraud, drawing a comparison to the 1933 attack on Germany's parliament building that Hitler used as a pretext to establish a Nazi dictatorship.
"This is a Reichstag moment," Milley told aides, according to portions of the book. "The gospel of the Führer." |
