Olivia Troye told ABC News said she’s been speaking to other military leaders and cabinet officials who served under Trump who are debating speaking out against Trump.
A national security official during the Trump administration and adviser to Mike Pence said some military officials are wary of speaking out against former President Donald Trump because they are worried about politicizing the military and retribution.
Olivia Troye that she’s been speaking to other military leaders and Cabinet officials who served under Trump who are debating speaking out against Trump following comments made by John Kelly, a former four-star Marine general and former chief of staff to Trump, who told The New York Times that Trump had told him multiple times Adolf Hitler had “done some good things.”
“In conversations I’ve had with military leaders who have served in the Trump administration, they are weighing the following on whether to go on the record against Trump: is it hurtful or helpful to the military and does it politicize them even more?” Troye, who is now a vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris and spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, said.
“That’s what a lot of them are weighing because they’re concerned about what the future of the military looks like if Trump comes back”, Troye said.
