Countdown to Trump using the military against Americans

Important meeting. 800 top brass. Meeting called so the generals and admirals could be told they’re too fat. Also, Trump suggested places like Portland be used as “training grounds”. And he also reminded the brass that he had ended 8 world wars, single handedly.

Hegseth uses extraordinary meeting to fat-shame generals

The US military's top brass were silent as the secretary ordered a return to the "highest male standard."

The United States military will be used for a domestic-based war against the “invasion from within”. That’s unconstitutional, if you’re keeping score.

Trump calls for using US cities as 'training ground' for armed forces in unusual speech to generals

President Donald Trump is proposing using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces. He's suggesting U.S. military might be deployed against what he describes as the “invasion from within.”

— President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces, with U.S. military might being deployed against what he described as the “invasion from within.”

Addressing an audience of military brass abruptly summoned to Virginia, Trump outlined a muscular and at times norm-shattering view of the military’s role in domestic affairs. He was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who declared an end to “woke” culture and announced new directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or “male-level” standards for physical fitness.

The dual messages underscored the Trump administration’s efforts not only to reshape contemporary Pentagon culture but enlist military resources for the president’s priorities and in everyday American civic life, including by quelling unrest and violent crime on city streets.

“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” Trump said. He noted at another point: “We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms.”

The people in that room are serious people. They aren't playing games. They understand the stakes and unlike so many former service members who ride Trumps tiny ****, they see Trump for who and what he is.

Bringing the secretary of war, the POTUS and all the generals and admirals into one room was DUMB. One of the dumbest things that has happened in U.S. military history. I'm glad it didn't end in unfathomable tragedy for our armed forces.

Meanwhile, their commander in chief made sure his generals knew they would be assisting him in the creation of a dictstorship.


Hegseth went on to say that the military would no longer be restrained by “stupid rules of engagement” — including, apparently, at home.

That chilling speech was followed by an even scarier one from Trump himself. After encouraging the conspicuously silent assembly of military leaders to applaud for him if they felt so inclined, Trump laid out a lawless, authoritarian vision for the armed forces, including fighting a “war from within” against the his domestic enemies.

In other words, boots on the ground — in places like Portland, not Pyongyang.

“Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies foreign and domestic,” Trump told the generals and admirals in attendance. “That’s what the oath says — foreign and domestic. Well, we also have domestic.”

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force

Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

Reporting Highlights​

  • Aggression: Under President Donald Trump’s deportation mission, ICE officers are using force to detain and jail immigrants.
  • Impunity: The administration gutted guardrails and offices meant to rein in abusive actions.
  • Disappeared: Some families say they have no idea where their loved ones were jailed after immigration raids.
Current and former national security officials share the mayor’s concerns. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes. ICE, in their view, has become an unfettered and unaccountable national police force. The transformation, the officials say, unfolded rapidly and in plain sight. Trump’s DHS appointees swiftly dismantled civil rights guardrails, encouraged agents to wear masks, threatened groups and state governments that stood in their way, and then made so many arrests that the influx overwhelmed lawyers trying to defend immigrants taken out of state or out of the country.

And although they are reluctant to predict the future, the current and former officials worry that this force assembled from federal agents across the country could eventually be turned against any groups the administration labels a threat.

One former senior DHS official who was involved in oversight said that what is happening on American streets today “gives me goosebumps.”

Speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, the official rattled off scenes that once would’ve triggered investigations: “Accosting people outside of their immigration court hearings where they’re showing up and trying to do the right thing and then hauling them off to an immigration jail in the middle of the country where they can’t access loved ones or speak to counsel. Bands of masked men apprehending people in broad daylight in the streets and hauling them off. Disappearing people to a third country, to a prison where there’s a documented record of serious torture and human rights abuse.”

The former official paused. “We’re at an inflection point in history right now and it’s frightening.”

Although ICE is conducting itself out in the open, even inviting conservative social media influencers to accompany its agents on high-profile raids, the agency operates in darkness. The identities of DHS officers, their salaries and their operations have long been withheld for security reasons and generally exempted from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. However, there were offices within DHS created to hold agents and their supervisors accountable for their actions on the job. The Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, created by Congress and led largely by lawyers, investigated allegations of rape and unlawful searches from both the public and within DHS ranks, for instance. Egregious conduct was referred to the Justice Department.
