BOOK: Trump Aide Forged Order To Leave Afghanistan

Mediaite reports:

A shocking new report claimed Donald Trump’s “ultimate loyalist” in the White House created a fake presidential directive that could have shifted “the global order” if carried out. In a Vanity Fair excerpt from his new book, “Tired of Winning”, ABC’s Jonathan Karl revealed that a young Trump aide named Johnny McEntee wielded a tremendous amount of power in the White House.

He was referred to as Trump’s “body guy,” because he carried the president’s bags. Trump reportedly welcomed McEntee’s intense loyalty, and soon the 30-year old was suggesting major personnel decisions, including firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper. In the waning days of the Trump administration, Karl wrote that McEntee made up a “handwritten to-do list” ordering massive troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and Somalia.

ABC News reports:

When McEntee couldn’t figure out how to draft such a document, Macgregor told him and his assistant “to open a cabinet, find an old presidential decision memorandum, and copy it,” Karl writes. “Easy enough,” Karl reports. McEntee and his assistant “wrote up the order, had the president sign it, and sent it over to Kash Patel, the new acting defense secretary’s chief of staff.”

When Gen. Mark Milley asked O’Brien, Trump’s national security adviser, where the document came from, O’Brien said he’d never seen it before. Also at that meeting was Vice President Mike Pence’s national security adviser Keith Kellogg, who looked at the order and told the room: “This doesn’t look right,” according to the excerpts.

“‘You’re telling me that thing is forged?’ Milley responded in disbelief, Karl writes. ‘That’s a forged piece of paper directing a military operation by the president of the United States? That’s forged, Keith?'” Milley said, according to the excerpts.

McEntee last appeared here when he launched the Peter Thiel-backed and surely soon-to-fail MAGA dating app. In the video below, he tells the Heritage Foundation about his plans for Trump’s return to office and boasts about the dating app, which he says has a whopping 45,000 users.
