Trump Tells Military Brass US Faces 'Invasion From Within'

President Donald Trump told top military brass that the US is fighting an "invasion from within," as he used a highly unusual gathering of officers stationed around the world to deliver a largely political speech that highlighted border security and rooting out "woke" culture. "After spending trillions of dollars defending the borders of foreign countries, with your help, we're defending the borders of our country," Trump said on Tuesday at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. "It's the enemy from within, and we have to handle it before it gets out of control," he added.

More: Trump said he was ready to fire officials who he doesn't like, echoing his Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, who was originally slated to be the sole keynote speaker at the event.

"If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room," Trump said to some laughter from the crowd of hundreds " nearly all uniformed military brass. "Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future. But you just feel nice and loose, OK? Because we're all on the same team."

"I always say, we have two enemies," Trump said, adding: "We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within, and the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries."

He also suggested that the military could be called in to handle any unrest on Election Day from "radical left lunatics."

Trump doubled down on those comments during his Tuesday night town hall, also calling Democrats "evil" and "dangerous." ...
