WASHINGTON, United States -- The Pentagon's top general feared late last year that then-president Donald Trump would suspend the constitution to retain power in a move resembling Adolf Hitler's 1933 Reichstag takeover, according to a new book. The gospel of the Fuhrer," Milley told Pentagon aides, the authors report. "They may try, but they're not going to f**king succeed," Milley told his aides, the book recounts. "Milley told his staff that he believed Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military," the book says. "If I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley," Trump said.
