Late Friday, Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump, along with his booze-soaked Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, removed the sitting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. C.Q Brown, and replaced him with a man who once eagerly pledged that he would “kill” for Trump if given the order.
The new head of the U.S. military is Air Force Lt. Gen. John D. Caine, whose only apparent qualification for the job is that he’s willing to follow every order given to him by Trump and not ask questions.
Trump announced Caine’s new job on Truth Social, writing, “Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan ‘Razin’ Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staf. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience.”
Trump and Caine have a history together, with the convicted felon who now serves as president bragging that Caine once told him, ‘I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”
Caine also ignored military protocol by once wearing a MAGA hat while on active duty in the Air Force.
The Daily Beast explains why Caine has been chosen to replace Brown:
Prior to his appointment during the Biden administration, Brown had been Air Force chief of staff since 2020, with Trump writing at the time that he was “a Patriot and Great Leader.” In his post on Friday, Trump reiterated that Brown is “a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader.”
Trump’s decision to fire Brown had reportedly been supported by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth since at least November, with the former Fox News host saying on The Shawn Ryan Show that month that Brown had a “woke” interest in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
A sycophant is now head of the U.S. military, which Trump has previously said could be used domestically if a president gives that order.
“He has pledged to recall thousands of American troops from overseas and station them at the U.S. border with Mexico,” PBS noted in October. “He has explored using troops for domestic policy priorities such as deportations and confronting civil unrest. He has talked of weeding out military officers who are ideologically opposed to him.”
“Trump’s vision amounts to a potentially dramatic shift in the role of the military in U.S. society, carrying grave implications for both the country’s place in the world and the restraints that have traditionally been placed on domestic use of the military.”
Will we see American troops on the streets in the days ahead? If Trump orders that, it sounds like Caine will eagerly comply and say to hell with the Constitution.
