Talk about childish and vindictive?!! I only hope we have more Gen. Mark Milley's still in our military?!! We need general officers and flag officers that will say no to Trump and an unqualified and drunkard Pete Hegseth if he is the next secretary of defense?!!
A portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who has feuded in highly public spats with President Trump, was taken down in the Pentagon on Monday.
A spokesperson for the Pentagon confirmed the portrait was taken down but deferred comment to the White House.
A spokesperson for the White House national security council declined to comment on why the portrait was taken down.
The portrait, which had just been unveiled Jan. 10, hung in the Joint Chiefs hallway next to those of other former chairs.
The news of the portraits being taken down was first reported by several journalists who posted photographs on the social platform X.
Former President Biden, in his last few hours in the Oval Office on Monday, issued preemptive pardons to Milley and several other people. Biden said the pardons were not an admittance of guilt but were issued for their service.
The pardons come as Trump vowed on the campaign trail to take revenge against his enemies, with Milley being one of his most high-profile foes.
Milley was tapped to lead the Joint Chiefs by Trump in 2019 but the two clashed over several national security issues. And reports of Milley’s resistance that aired in the media after Trump left office in 2021 have escalated the public feud.
Trump once suggested that Milley, who retired from service in 2023, deserved to be executed, and Milley has called Trump a fascist.
Trump in a Monday speech following his swearing in as the 47th president spoke in the Emancipation Hall and decried the Biden pardons, calling out Milley by name.
