“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. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don’t wear uniforms.”
So now Trump wants to invade US cities? Views other American citizens as no different than a foreign enemy? Lot of dog whistles going off in this one
Majority of those sitting there had to be squirming in their seats after hearing that idiocy coming from the Commander of Chief
And the irony is that places as NYC are far from unsafe, plus the fact putting armed soldiers on every corner in any city is obviously going to statistically reduce visible street crime, duh, but you going to keep the military in every major city permanently for what in reality isn’t even a crisis?
