Outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Mark Milley lost his temper during his resignation speech, appearing to take a dig Donald Trump, his former Commander-in-Chief, as a “wannabe dictator”.
Milley – whose crowning achievements in his role were the introduction of wokeness to the U.S. military as well as his back channel support for Communist China – whined: “we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator” during his outgoing message.

Milley was a controversial Joint Chiefs chairman, constantly miring himself in political disputes by endorsing far-left concepts such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), once telling Congress “I want to understand White Rage, and I’m white” and boasting of having read Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong.
Milley and Trump frequently clashed over what Trump saw as the general’s military incompetence, particularly his advice that leaving U.S. equipment in Afghanistan behind for the Taliban would be the most cost-effective response to takeover – which ended up happening under Joe Biden.
“That’s when I realized he was a f***ing idiot,” Trump said of the exchange.
