Trump Sees US Cities As “Training Grounds” For Troops

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."

Trump looks at Democratic led cities as Bibi and Smotrich look at Gaza.

He sees Terrorists to be destroyed without pause or Mercy.

Trump is going to unleash the full force of the US military on his own people.

That's becoming Clear.

There are Wild Times Ahead.

I'm wondering when they'll come for the guns.

Of select people, of course.

The is flat out authoritarianism.

I still remember the apoplectic meltdown the GOP had over Obama "invading" Texas through underground tunnels built under WalMarts for the express intent of overthrowing Governor Hotwheels.

www.newsweek.com

"There was a time in modern history when the GOP was a party of ideas"agree with them or not, its leaders were dominated by smart people who assembled ideologically consistent policies based on facts, statistics and history. But, as Bruce Bartlett, a former senior policy analyst for Ronald Reagan, recently said, "Now it's the party of crazy people, ignorant Tea Party people"people who know nothing and are proud of it.""

I'M SO TIRED of all the 1930's Fascist Comparisons!

I know there are a dozen new scandals and incitements a day involving this administration, but the words of these two fascists seem to be on a whole different level.

This might well prove to be the red line that will turn public opinion against this so-called president. Whether this rethinking makes a substantive difference in how Trump proceeds has yet to be determined. But as someone said upthread, it might be a good time to patronize the outdoor sporting goods section of your local retailer.
