In a new book The Divider: Trump In The White House, Peter Baker and Susan Glasser detail General Mark Milley‘s reasons for staying in former President Donald Trump’s administration despite his strong misgivings about his suitability to be Commander-in-Chief.
In an excerpt from the book, Milley vowed to “fight from the inside” against the President’s often erratic actions.
