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." Trump addressed dozens of top generals and admirals in Quantico, Va., where he said defending the homeland was the military's "most important priority." He signaled that the leaders in the room could be tasked with aiding in federal interventions in Democratic-led cities like Chicago and New York City. "They're very unsafe places, and we're going to straighten them out one by one," Trump said. "And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That's a war too. It's a war from within."
"America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within," Trump said Tuesday. "No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms."
"I have here in my hand a list of 205 -- a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department."
