This is nice to know, the orange buffoon may want to start a war when loses the election or use the military to attack protesters ect?!!
President Donald Trump will not command the loyalty of the military should he lose the election and try to co-opt them to back any challenge of the results, the chairman of the House Committee on Armed Services has said.
Trailing in the polls to his Democratic rival Joe Biden, Trump did not commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses on November 3, telling reporters "we're going to see what happens."
The president also again cast aspersions on the integrity of mail-in voting which, without evidence, he claims will lead to widespread fraud.
His opponents fear Trump is laying the groundwork for a challenge to the results that could involve the military. But Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) told CNN that defense leaders assured him they would not serve Trump after the inauguration on January 20 if he loses.
