Retired Major General: "Our president is slipping into the depths of self-serving dictatorship."

Retired Army Major General Randy E. Manner knew many of the generals in the room in Quantico, Virginia when Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth gave unprecedented speeches that sounded alarms throughout the military and the country. For over three decades Manner served the country in many positions in the Pentagon and around the world. Prior to retiring from the Army as a Major General, he served as the Deputy Commanding General of the United States 3rd Army in Kuwait, as the Acting Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau, and as the Acting and Deputy Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. General Manner has come on my program regularly, and this week we spoke about the gathering, at which he said the generals were used as “props” and which he said showed “our president seems to be slipping quite a bit, even from the campaign, let alone from years ago, into the depths of, quite frankly, self-serving dictatorship.”And that was just the beginning.
