Military.com: At Least 4 Top Generals May Have Been Exposed Before Trump Tested Positive For COVID-19
The defense secretary and several members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff attended an event at the White House on Sunday, days before President Donald Trump, his wife and a top aide tested positive for the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper; Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley; and the top Army, Air Force and Marine generals attended a Gold Star family event at the White House on Sunday, multiple defense officials told Military.com.
Trump announced on Twitter early Friday morning that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19. The two were tested Thursday night after Hope Hicks, one of Trump's top aides, was discovered to have the illness after showing symptoms.

ReplyDeleteMaybe now they will work on defense as hard as they work at politicking with Congress, which is very hard. To get from O6 to O7, you must kiss Congress's derrières.
Maybe Congress will let generals do their job and get to doing theirs such as a balanced budget.
ReplyDeleteBalanced budget??? Financial heretic! The world will stop spinning and the sun will no longer shine!
Russia balances its budget and they are former commies!
ReplyDeleteObviously, people who studied Marxism and could recite it by heart can learn to balance budgets.
Maybe Leftists in the US are not true Marxists, but they use Marxist dialectic to color their language and given them cover. Maybe what they are engaged-in is simple monkey politics that we have seen since the beginning of time.
Democrats this election year have made Putin look good and he is a murderous, velvet fisted oligarch.
those generals were with trump because trump wanted generals with him.
