TRUMP’S TOP GENERAL CONTRADICTS HIS ASSESSMENT OF PUTIN, L.A. UNREST; Story by Abigail Hauslohner; were restrained but significant, coming
from the nation’s top military officer who
Democrats and moderate Republicans
had feared might show little appetite for
going against a president prone to
pushing falsehoods in pursuit of his
political agenda.
Trump has routinely downplayed alarm
about Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions
in Eastern Europe and, in an address this
week, branded those in the United States; Gen. Dan Caine, who since becoming
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in
April has assiduously avoided the public
spotlight, on Wednesday broke with
President Donald Trump’s assessment
of the threat posed by Russia and the
ongoing protests and violence in Los
Angeles.
Caine’s comments during a Senate
Appropriations subcommittee hearing; Oh yeah... he's
so getting fired.
