Among other criticisms, Milley was quoted as calling Trump “fascist to the core” in “War,” a book by journalist Bob Woodward published last year.

I believe that it’s only a matter of time before Trump gives an order that clearly transcends legal and/or ethical boundaries, causing not only Milley but a great number of our nation’s other top military leaders to refuse to comply. In fact, it’s amazing that such a watershed event hasn’t happened yet.

The reason this seems inevitable is that there are so many arenas in which Trump’s wishes undercut non-negotiable parts of American life, especially the U.S. Constitution.

Suppose, for a moment, that Trump wants to run for a third term.  I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that two terms is the maximum that can be served by any given president, and it wasn’t “Better Homes and Gardens.”

Seriously, it’s hard to imagine that Trump and the military can go on indefinitely without coming to loggerheads.

Imagine that Trump says, “I’m invading Greenland.” A few minutes later, The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says, “The f*** you are.”

It’s only a matter of time.
