Trump has often criticized his former top general, whose portrait was taken down at the Pentagon just after the new administration took office.

"My family and I are deeply grateful for the President's action today," Milley said in a statement to USA Today provided by a spokesperson.

Six years after Team Trump wanted the USS John McCain “out of sight,” a painting of Trump’s former joint chiefs’ chairman had to be put out of sight, too.

The Pentagon pulled down a portrait of retired US Army General and frequent Donald Trump critic Mark Milley just hours after Trump’s Monday inauguration in Washington, DC, witnesses told Reuters.

Andrés was removed from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Milley will no longer serve on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.

The portrait of Milley hung in an ornate hallway that is dedicated to the history of the Joint Chiefs and displays 19 other paintings of all other prior chairmen going back to Gen. Omar Bradley.

Milley's newly unveiled portrait was removed from the hallways of the Pentagon hours after President Donald Trump was inaugurated.

The Pentagon on Monday removed the portrait of Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two Reuters witnesses, in a move that happened within two hours of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

President Biden noted that the "should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing."

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he plans to remove over 1,000 appointees from the administration of former President Joe Biden, announcing four dismissals on social media, including celebrity chef Jose Andres and former top general Mark Milley.
