Gen. Mark Milley's portrait was removed from the Pentagon very shortly after President Trump took office, just two weeks post-unveiling. This sudden removal came without any clear explanation from Pentagon officials, raising questions about the relationship between Milley and Trump. Initially appointed by Trump as his top military advisor, Milley's position deteriorated over time, exacerbated by a public apology concerning a contentious photo op during protests in 2020. Tensions escalated, with Trump later denouncing Milley's characterizations and even calling for severe repercussions regarding Milley's concerns on Afghanistan and other issues.
The portrait of General Milley, displayed for less than two weeks, was taken down without explanation from Pentagon officials, highlighting a rift with Trump.
