In an interview with Newsmax, Trump said that he would "get back" at the media if he is elected president again. He also said that he would fire Milley if he is elected president again.
“I will get even with the media, I am getting even with the media. They are corrupt people. They are terrible people,” Trump said. He also accused the media of being “the enemy of the people.”
“If I run and win, I will fire General Milley. I will fire him in one second,” Trump said. He accused Milley of being a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) and of being “woke.”
Trump's comments come as he faces increasing legal and political challenges. He is currently under investigation by the New York Attorney General's Office for possible fraud and financial crimes. He is also facing a civil lawsuit from the January 6th Committee, which is investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump's attacks on the media and Milley are part of his broader effort to discredit his opponents and to build support among his base of supporters. He has repeatedly accused the media of being "fake news" and of being biased against him. He has also accused Milley of being a "traitor" and of being "disloyal" to him.
Trump's comments are likely to further divide the country and to make it more difficult to heal the wounds of the January 6th attack. They are also likely to damage his own reputation and to make it more difficult for him to be elected president again.
Experts weigh in on Trump's attacks
Some experts have said that Trump's attacks on the media and Milley are dangerous and irresponsible. They argue that Trump's attacks could lead to violence against journalists and military personnel.
Other experts have said that Trump's attacks are simply part of his political playbook. They argue that Trump is trying to energize his base of supporters and to discredit his opponents.
Ultimately, it is up to the American people to decide whether Trump's attacks on the media and Milley are acceptable.
