An excerpt from Peril, released in September, said Milley called on his counterpart in Beijing to assure them that Trump would not launch an attack on China in an effort to cling to power.
Does anyone really believe that longtime Con Man Bob Woodward, and his lightweight lapdog assistant Robert Costa, hint in their fiction book that I plan to go to war with China, but one of the military’s dumb generals is called Chinese. to tell them he would let them know if this action would continue, Trump said in a lengthy statement on Friday.
To make such stories and sell to the public is shameful. I watched Woodward’s stern face as he fooled the public and said to myself, I wonder if history will really believe this thing? How can you restore your reputation? I am the only President for decades that we have not entered into a warI have drawn us out of wars! He added.
The former president also reiterated his calls to try Milley for treason if the report about Milley’s call to China is accurate.
Milley told lawmakers he has talked to several authors who write books about Trump, including Woodward and Costa, and defended his call.
I am confident that President Trump did not intend to attack the Chinese and this is my directed responsibility and it is my direct responsibility as the secretary to convey that goal to the Chinese, Milley told the Senate Armed Services Committee in September.
My job then was to deescalate. My message again is consistent: stay calm, be steadfast, and calm down. We will not attack you, he added.
It’s unclear what prompted Trump’s latest statement.
It is incredible that someone is allowed to write these things. We are no longer talking about greatness for our Country, it is all about political investigations, fraud, and deception. We will make America Great! he said in it.
Woodward defended Milley’s call to China after Republicans chased the general, and said Milley was not in line to call a foreign enemy and deliver information as he did.
“General Milley acted. He put himself … in this moment where he had practical responsibility,” the veteran journalist said. “What disasters could happen to the United States, a war specifically with China, the use of nuclear weapons … it’s unthinkable.”
