isn't it so much fun guys when we find out things about Donald Trump that we obviously already knew but then we actually find out in a book written by somebody who knew it at the time who's a reporter who's supposed to be reporting um that we were 100 right and the guy who we thought was a fascist was a fascist and said even overtly fascist things uh but somebody needed to make money later on so they didn't want to tell us at the time so we knew it was true but it wasn't out there for everybody sorry fixing things here a bit and therefore um who knows I mean even if it come out it was if newspapers like the one this person wrote for would have even covered them more harshly yeah the New York Times as a reporter from The New York Times who just wrote a book and I'm not going to give you his name because I frankly freaking hate him and think he's so damaging to democracy has so harmed this country with his both sides of BS that he doesn't deserve to have his book promoted so I'm not going to give it to you but I'm going to tell you what we learned because theoretically he's a reporter who reports stuff so it turns out that Donald Trump was a big fan of the German generals um you know what were they Nazis that's right during World War II he wanted to know why his generals couldn't be like German generals I can think about like 267 reasons I mean there's the Geneva conventions for one and NATO and things like that of course he's trying to get rid of Nano um Common Sense decency democracy you know but um Donald Trump doesn't believe in any of that stuff so he of course wants everyone to be completely loyal to him and that was the danger when he was in power the way he replaced people the Pentagon and harm land security for his coup uh he takes members of the bureaucracy professionals people that are non-political and have been in office for years who care about this country or Alexander vendamins for example um and if they don't break the law and in sight right and get involved in his care he brought us that he destroys the reputations fires and throws them out that's what he does so here um the case was General milley who we know came out later in one of those other books by some a-hole who didn't tell us at the time um was actually worried and had to reach out to his Chinese counterpart to let them know that what was going on around here which was so unusual around the election time that we weren't going to have a coup and they didn't have to worry about us nuking them you know we had a Joint Chiefs of Staff who needed to call his Chinese counterpart and tell him that because Donald Trump because this country even people call themselves moderate Republicans thought that that was the better choice that person the coup guy incredible all right well let's get to the details um good stuff here from this person who I won't name um so and I'm uh to start with the quote um pushing to have a military parade down the streets and a general push back which is general milley who said that's what dictators do Amber sealer is a really awesome ones in Pyongyang with the missiles on the back and stuff a little different than the ones that they do down like the canyon of Heroes when the Yankees were World Series slightly different in tone uh and slightly different and sort of intimidation level well Trump wanted more of those because he's a 10-pod dictator um and he had passed as generals I mean they should be loyal right like in any dictatorship I mean Saddam Hussein's channels were loyal until they got paid money to not be um so quote I will quote the great man Donald Trump quote you in general why can't you be like German generals Trump demanded John Kelly his team of Staff also former military asked which generals to which Trump respond the German Generals in World War II you know why can't you be more like Eichmann what can't you be more like uh Hitler be like more like the SS I want to send you out to shoot some protesters which as you know he asked me if he could do and Millie told him it would be a war if you want to go and torture arrest people rendition people which Flynn was going to do for erdogan and Turkey um I mean the scary thing is most of things Trump wanted to do there were other members of his administration who thought about doing too the other deceptorica types the lunatics The Crazies that's how they refer to people like that in the regular Administration the far right who now actually is the entire party with the exception of like five people um Trump went on after Lafayette Square Millie wrote a never delivered resignation letter and he wrote to Trump quote it is obvious to me you don't
