Trump can fire generals.
The President of the United States, as the commander-in-chief, does have the power to replace and appoint top military officials, including generals. However, typically, the Secretary of Defense and other officials play significant roles in such decisions. The process is not solely under the President's discretion since it involves a structured protocol in the Department of Defense.
