Trump Replaces Gen. Brown with Gen. “Raizin” Caine as Joint Chiefs’ Chairman.

President Donald Trump has replaced Gen. Charles Q. Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, giving the position to Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine.

On X.com, the American Accountability Foundation wrote that, “Gen. CQ Brown … was the wokest Joint Chiefs chairman in American history,” and claimed that, “He repeatedly preached and practiced racial discrimination.”

On the other side of the coin, in a posting on Truth Social, Trump thanked Brown for his service and called him a “fine gentleman and an outstanding leader.”

“I want to thank General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” Trump wrote. “He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family.”

The President recalled General Caine’s work during the first Trump Administration when he played a pivotal role in wiping out Isis. “During my first term, Razin was instrumental in the complete annihilation of the ISIS caliphate. It was done in record setting time, a matter of weeks. Many so-called military “geniuses” said it would take years to defeat ISIS. General Caine, on the other hand, said it could be done quickly, and he delivered.”

“General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump wrote.

In his Truth posting, the President also said that he directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “to solicit nominations for five additional high level positions, which will be announced soon.”

As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. “Raizin” Caine will become the nation’s highest-ranking military officer. He would also serve as military adviser to the president, to the Secretary of Defense, and to the National Security Council.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a statement supporting the choice: “General Caine embodies the warfighter ethos and is exactly the leader we need to meet the moment,”  Hegseth wrote, adding “I look forward to working with him.”

Hegseth also complimented outgoing Chairman Gen. Brown, writing that Brown “has served with distinction in a career spanning four decades of honorable service. I have come to know him as a thoughtful adviser and salute him for his distinguished service to our country.”

Hegseth has also requested nominations for the positions of Chief of Naval Operations (replacing Admiral Lisa Franchetti) and Air Force vice chief of staff (replacing General James Slife).

“Under President Trump, we are putting in place new leadership that will focus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting and winning wars,” Hegseth concluded.

Caine has served as an F-16 fighter pilot, weapons officer, member of the White House staff, and special operations officer.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma.), presumptively motived by her commitment to DEI, objected to the replacement of Brown (an African American) and Franchetti (a woman). She did not mention the replacement of Slife (a white man), as he is not (based on her record) significant to him. She stated in her post on X that Trump’s firing of Brown and Franchetti “is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.” Sen. Warren, who has acknowledged that her claim of Native American ethnicity was without basis, and which she used repeatedly to elevate herself during her career. Aside from her vote in favor of Senator Marco Rubio to be Trump’s Secretary of State, she has to date voted against every other Trump nominee.
