Summary
  • During campaign, Trump vowed to purge military of 'woke' generals
  • Former generals and defense secretaries are among Trump's fiercest critics
  • Trump will prioritize loyalty during his second term, U.S. officials say
WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - During his campaign for re-election, Donald Trump vowed to purge the military of so-called "woke" generals. Now that he is president-elect, the question in the halls of the Pentagon is whether he would go much further.
Trump is expected to have a far darker view of his military leaders in his second term, after facing Pentagon resistance over everything from his skepticism toward NATO to his readiness to deploy troops to quell protests on U.S. streets.

Exactly, the goal is to remove all guardrails that could prevent him from assuming absolute control

Funny how the right used to tell us their defining view of government was a weak Federal Government and limited Executive Branch

What are these so-called guard rails? How can a US President assume absolute power? Be specific.

Just did, starting with undercutting the Legislative Branch, why did you think he is now fighting for recess appointments? Testing them with his clown cabinet, keeping score, and this is only the beginning

The Courts, he’s already done that. Eliminate any threat from the military, which is what his “purging” the Pentagon is all about. Employing DOJ to come down hard on any criticism, punishing and rewarding, especially the media

When he is done, there will be next to zero check on his power, and to cement it, the GOP and entire right wing media will fully support every more he makes. One would have to be naive to think that Trump is exiting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in 2028, he ain’t leaving till they have to carry him out

(and now tie for the predictable “your stupid,” “a moron,” “imbecile,” etc, or corny GIF, tweet, or meme, anything but content offered negating anything I said)

Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies by a jury. He is out on bond awaiting sentencing.

It is you DEMOCRATS that created most of these bureaucracies and turned the Federal government into the overbearing and oppressive thing it is today. Trump is going to cut a lot of that out, and it's welcome.

Nah, Trump don’t give a shit about the military, think Kelly and McCain proved that, he only pimps it for political ends, he is afraid of another Milley, a soldier who understood the Army is designed to stay out of politics and domestic affairs, he might need their help down the road

The Empire and country are already headed for certain collapse......the mission now is to manage the collapse.

I dont happen to think that Trump is up to the job, but voting for the Regime would have lead to our certain enslavement, at least we now have a slim chance of avoiding that fate.

I think you are conflating Trump with Obama and Biden/Obama. Trump will be turning that ship around. You, friend, are way too pessimistic.
