Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'
"Peril" is based on more than 200 interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses, and it paints a chilling picture of Trump's final days in office. The book, Woodward's third on the Trump presidency, recounts behind-the-scenes moments of a commander in chief unhinged and explosive, yelling at senior advisers and aides as he desperately sought to cling to power.

Remember trump's first days when the mantra was 'give him a chance' ?
Then it was 'establishment Republicans in his cabinet will act as guard rails'.
One by one, they were all Tweetfired and replaced by incompetent 'yes' men/women.
In the end, there were no guardrails. On his last day in office, trump was still installing incompetent moles throughout our govt./defense dept..
Milley has seen presidents come and go. He recognized that this one was dangerous.
He did what was necessary.
Sad that it didn't entail neutralizing the enemy.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
