Trump on Tuesday told a gathering of military leaders they should use American cities as "training grounds" and described a federal crackdown on crime in major cities as "a war from within."
In one historic speech, Trump eviscerated decades of civil-military restraint and proclaimed the U.S. armed forces as his weapon of choice against domestic "enemies."

"We walked in, and there's 20 Secret Service agents and there's 15 cameras, and she clearly had not been properly warned, and she was terrified, right? I just felt awful for her." ...
