A reassuring collection of General Officers' remarks on the US Commander in Chief

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.”

• Marine General James Mattis

“We can’t have someone as our commander in chief and president who doesn’t understand American values and whose character isn’t suited to the awesome responsibility of that office.”

• General Wesley Clark

“Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to U.S. national security… It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr. Putin.”

• General Barry McCaffrey

[Trump's] failure to condemn white supremacy “gives space to these groups that foment hatred and intolerance.”

• General H.R. McMaster

“Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.”

• Admiral William McRaven

“Donald Trump is the most flawed man I have ever met.”

• Marine General John Kelly

Trump’s actions “laid bare his disdain for the rights of peaceful protest in this country, gave succor to the leaders of other countries who take comfort in our domestic strife, and risked further politicizing the men and women of our armed forces.”

• Admiral Mike Mullen

“Dishonest” and “immoral.”

• General Stanley McChrystal

“He is the most dangerous person to this country…He’s a fascist to the core.”

• General Mark Milley

Trump’s recent remarks to military leaders sound “incoherent, exhausted and at times stupid.”

• General Barry McCaffrey

‘‘I earned my spurs on the battlefield ... and Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor.’’

• General James Mattis
