Former President Donald Trump's recent criticism of U.S. Army General Mark Milley has been called a "marching order" and has sparked concern of violence.
Last week, Trump posted a message on Truth Social discussing Milley and his reported plans to step down as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, saying: "This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate! This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States.
"This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH! A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!"
