milly had witnessed up close how trump was routinely impussive and unpredictable. making matters even more dire milly was certain trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election. milly had misled general li when he claimed the united states was 100% steady and the january 6th riot was just an example of sloppy democracy. to the contrary milly believed january 6th was a planned, coordinated synchronized attack on the very heart of american democracy designed to overthrow the government, to prevent the constitutional certification of a legitimate election won by joe biden. milly could not rule out the january 6th assault so unimagined and savage could be a dress rehearsal for something larger as trump publicly and privately clung to his belief that the election had been rigged for joe biden and stolen from him.
