President Donald Trump said he would fire senior military leaders “right on the spot” if he did not like them as he headed to a meeting with all the top generals and admirals who had gathered at Quantico, Virginia.
i’m sorry??? not liking you is a fireable offense?

He’s currently rambling that anyone not on his team is the enemy in our country. All those military leaders there that took an oath and they’re not going to straight up take control right then and there. He is speaking of his own citizens AS THE ENEMY.

Based mostly on the question “who did you vote for in the last election?”
Snakesandrats on
Now he’s yapping about how many districts he won.
Definitely a great use of the senior military officials time.

How can any General sitting in this room trust any order coming from this deranged lunatic? He doesn’t sound sane. He is lying to their faces, they know it.
Someone needs to speak out. They swore an oath to the Constitution. He is telling them they need to go fight the “enemy within” in “California.”
Now he says CNN interviewed someone from a caravan coming to the US who said he was in prison for murder, but they let him out to come to the US. WTF is going on.

Anyone else here watching him now and can’t help but tilt your head like dogs do? Trying to figure out WTactualF he’s talking about?

some Live quotes from Trump so far
“Im 45 , 46, 47, , but i dont want the credit for 46, open borders, crime…” -Talking about winning the 2020 election.
“I dont know why you dont want to be the 51st State, you come in with America and you get (US benefits) for Free (or deal with tariffs). – Talking about Canada
“I told Pete, We should use some of these violent cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard , But , Military. “

Imagine working your entire life to achieve the pinnacle of your career, to have it thrown away by a draft dodging, rich-kid-daddy’s-boy, convicted felon, child rapist pedophile, loser like Trump.
PunfullyObvious on
Loyalty Oath intention confirmed. At least as bluster. Which should be damning enough. If mass firings happen, will it matter to enough people who matter and have any ability to do anything about him and the fascist takeover? Despite how stupid this event is, this is an important day.

Did trump just say ” “I’ve never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud … If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. but you just feel nice and loose.”

FYI, he is trying to give everyone a heads up that he is going to be like Russia and China leaders. If no one sees this you are blind. I hope the military has some closed door meetings to take this Old deranged guy off his seat.

Just sit with that for a second or two.

The military is a place that should not be politicized. If we ever get out of this authoritarian nightmare we need to revisit things such as pardons and firing within agencies that should be non-political.

Rhetoric like that plus the Hegseth meeting is how you convince them to coup you.
Bishopjones2112 on
Mercenary, that’s the term. When you are a person who has military skills and are working for someone based on money, so any generals or senior staff who think they want to keep their jobs and work trump are mercenaries. Because the truth is the constitution and military ethos which is supposed to be the base for what they serve is gone. If I were there in the states as a general, I would resign as I could not longer sleep at night and live with myself being part of the mess that is destroying democracy in America.

You can’t reason with him. You can’t reason with those who voted for him. This is has to be painfully clear.
They support and fall in line over this dude’s rhetoric and P2025 is probably now 50% complete.
Wake up. This shit can’t be ignored anymore or laughed off.

Despite his reality TV image, Trump famously hates firing people, usually ordering someone else to do the firing when he decides to let someone go.
