After the victory of the former American president in the presidential election in the United States, the news of Donald Trump and his loyalists are intertwined on the world scene. Elon Musk, who criticized Donald Trump in the past, found his way into the White House, while now there are reports that top positions in the Pentagon including the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and others are going to be furloughed because Donald With Trump assuming the presidency, several officers including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be dismissed.
In the United States, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the head of the armed forces.
According to the foreign news agency “Reuters”, two independent sources confirmed that a list has been prepared, including the name of the chairman of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, who will be dismissed.
It should be noted that Trump will take office as the President of the United States on November 5, and a source in his new administration confirmed that the news of a major change in the Pentagon has caused a stir throughout the organization and that the list being prepared is small. There is also the possibility of change.
Earlier in his election campaign, Donald Trump has given a threatening message to those military journals that criticized the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
Another source said the incoming administration would likely focus on U.S. military officers linked to Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley.
Mark Milley was quoted in Bob Woodward’s book “War,” published last month, in which Trump was described as “fundamentally fascist” and Trump’s allies considered him to be with the former president. He was targeted for infidelity.
Another source said that any person or official who received a position from Mark Milley will be fired. According to sources, the list of people who have been supported by Mark Milley is long.
It should be noted that the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest rank in the US military and includes the heads of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Space Force.
The plans to fire senior leaders of the US armed forces were revealed a day before the presidential election when Trump chose Pat Hegseth as his defense secretary.
Pat Hegseth has been a Fox News commentator and veteran who has expressed his intention to purge the Pentagon of undesirables.

What are the potential consequences of dismissing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the context of Trump’s presidency?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Emily Thompson**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Thompson. With the recent developments surrounding Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, there’s been a lot of speculation about the future of military leadership in the United States. Can you explain why the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff might be dismissed?
**Dr. Thompson:** Absolutely. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff plays a crucial role in advising the president on military matters. Trump’s presidency is marked by his preference for loyalty among his advisors and leadership. Any military leader who has been seen as critical or non-aligned with his views might find themselves at risk, especially in a context where Trump is looking to consolidate power and surround himself with trusted allies.
**Editor:** We also hear that Elon Musk, who had previously criticized Trump, is now in the picture. How does Musk’s presence affect the political landscape?
**Dr. Thompson:** Musk’s involvement at this time is fascinating. His influence in technology and media may provide Trump with a unique avenue to reach younger demographics and tech-savvy voters. However, this also raises questions about the blending of business and politics. Musk is a polarizing figure—while he has a massive following, his past criticisms might lead to skepticism about his motivations in supporting Trump.
**Editor:** Many are concerned about the implications of military furloughs amid this leadership shakeup. What can you tell us about that?
**Dr. Thompson:** Furloughs among military leadership, particularly at such a high level within the Pentagon, signal significant unrest and can lead to operational challenges. If key personnel are dismissed or furloughed, it can create a power vacuum and disrupt decision-making processes. Maintaining stability in military leadership is crucial, especially during transitions in political power, and any instability could have real consequences for national security.
**Editor:** With these potential changes on the horizon, what should we be watching for in the coming weeks?
**Dr. Thompson:** I would advise keeping an eye on the announcements from the Pentagon and any official statements regarding personnel changes. Additionally, public sentiment is critical—if there is significant backlash against these shifts, it may lead Trump to reconsider some of his decisions. Lastly, the dynamic between Trump and Musk could unfold in various ways that impact policy and public perception significantly.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for sharing your insights on this evolving situation. We appreciate your time.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me—it’s certainly an intriguing time in American politics.
