Trump Calls Top US General a ‘F—— Idiot’ During Speech at Mar-a-Lago

President Donald Trump and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley had a conflict over leaving U.S. military equipment in Afghanistan during the withdrawal in 2021, as reported by Trump during a Cabinet meeting.
The Taliban seized nearly all of the more than $7 billion worth of military equipment left by U.S. troops, according to a 2022 Department of Defense report.
Trump criticized Milley for suggesting it would be cheaper to leave the equipment in Afghanistan, saying, 'That's when I knew he was an idiot,' during the meeting.
Thirteen U.S. service members died during the withdrawal, primarily due to a suicide bombing at Abbey Gate, according to sources.
