Well, Trump did say he deserved to be executed for treason.

“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump wrote in the post on his Truth Social site.

What does that actually mean, "If the Fake News reporting is correct"? Does he just reflexively call news "fake news" even when he thinks it's true?

That must have been a short phone call.

All these book authors could have published when he was in office or before.

Woodward has. Fear: Trump in the White House (September 11, 2018), Rage (September 15, 2020), Peril (September 2021), The Trump Tapes: Bob Woodward's Twenty Interviews with President Donald Trump (January 2023), and now War.

Generally right before a midterm or presidential election.

2018-21 I was working through a lot of stuff, so I'm not surprised I missed that. 23 I don't know why I missed that. Thanks.

They really don't make journalists like Woodward any more.

The insanity of this even being a potential threat to a retired soldier shows what a perverse reality we’re experiencing.
