'Founding fathers' worst nightmare': Ex-defense sec warns of second Trump term

Former President Donald Trump is antithetical to the Constitution and the framers' vision of how the American military should operate, argued former Defense Secretary William Cohen on CNN Thursday.

This comes after a new article in The Atlanticrevealed the extreme measures Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley and several other military officials had to take to avert the former president's worst impulses.

"This article quotes General Milley as telling friends that if Donald Trump wins back the White House, quote, 'He'll start throwing people in jail, and I'd be at the top of the list,'" said anchor John Berman. "The piece also says, quote, 'At one point during the presidency, Trump proposed calling back to active duty two retired flag officers who had been critical of him, Admiral william McRaven and General Stanley McChrystal, so they could be court-martialed. What goes through your mind when you hear all this?"

"I think we have a lot to fear with a possible re-election or election of Donald Trump," said Cohen. "Donald Trump is the founding fathers' worst nightmare, a man who has no moral character, has no general understanding of the rule of law or respect for the rule of law. And he is someone who is trying to get absolute power by undermining every institution in our government. So he's the nightmare of the founding fathers, and that's what the Chairman had to deal with."

Yes, that's right. Trump being reelected would be a nightmare for The Deep State, but would be extremely beneficial to the rest of us, including you. The part about having to control Trump's impulses is false, but yes they are scared. Why do you think they are trying so hard to pin non-crimes on Trump?

Surely his trusted lawyer is not one of the ''deep state''? right ?
So he sues his lawyer for $500Million and now he's trying to worm his way out of a deposition.
The last time he had to testify , he pleaded the 5th over 400 times.:D
