Here's the full, chilling quote from Trump's former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, the retired Gen. Mark Milley, in Bob Woodward's new "War." "You have got to stop him! ... He is the most dangerous person to this country. ... A fascist to the core!"

Two days later, on Monday, March 6, 2023, I attended a reception at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.

“We gotta talk,” General Milley said as I approached him.

Milley was not in uniform but wearing a fashionable dark sports coat and plaid shirt. He had a freshly showered look and he seemed relaxed, though he stood barrel-chested with the ramrod-straight posture of an Army general.

Milley was still worried about Trump.

“No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” Milley said. “Do you realize, do you see what this man is? I glimpsed it when I talked to you back—for Peril, but I now know it. I now know it.”

Milley had shared with me his worries about Trump’s mental stability and control of nuclear weapons for the book Peril I coauthored with Robert Costa.

Milley and I continued to talk, proving it is possible to have a very private conversation in the middle of a crowded room.

“We have got to stop him!” Milley said. “You have got to stop him!” By “you” he meant the press broadly. “He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”

His eyes darted around the room filled with 200 guests of the Cohen Group, a global business consulting firm headed by former defense secretary William Cohen. Cohen and former defense secretary James Mattis spoke at the reception.

“A fascist to the core!” Milley repeated to me.

I will never forget the intensity of his worry.

today I'm upset that the Harris campaign, aka my personal dopamine delivery service, is trying to win over voters who are not me my single vote would be enough for them if they truly cared

"How could you suggest the NYT is favoring a rising fascist threat?" The big papers are beasts of inertia and can't handle shocks to the system like this. The German press wasn't prepared for Hitler, why would we expect our big press to be different? The NYT itself was once favorable to Hitler!
