Trump quoted Hitler

You may recall back in 2016, at a debate or town hall, when he brought about a dozen generals who supported him to sit in the stands. But actually having generals in his administration didn't work out so well. Now he wants to be the only general. :D
Besides ripping on John McCain, Trump also claimed to know more than the generals before the 2016 election.

Trump made no secret of his skepticism of military leadership even before he took office, telling voters in 2015 “I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me.”

And I think he said that before they all lined up for him.

They agreed to help as the link states but then they realized Trump wouldn't listen to anyone since he considered himself to always be the smartest man in the room.

A prominent retired four-star admiral says that several former generals have left President Donald Trump’s administration because their advice and many years of military experience did not make a difference in swaying the White House on key national security issues.
