Inside the War Between Trump and His Generals

The New Yorker runs an excerpt of The Divider by Susan Glasser and Peter Baker which includes the resignation letter, never sent, that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley drafted in June 2020.

But then he changed his mind, telling his staff: “Fuck that shit. I’ll just fight him.’

“The challenge, as he saw it, was to stop Trump from doing any more damage, while also acting in a way that was consistent with his obligation to carry out the orders of his Commander-in-Chief. Yet the Constitution offered no practical guide for a general faced with a rogue President.”

Said Milley: “If they want to court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. But I will fight from the inside.”
