So we’re the enemy within now.

Trump defended the use of U.S. troops in American cities and told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against the “enemy within.”

“This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room, because it’s the enemy from within, and we have to handle it before it gets out of control,” Trump told those gathered for the highly unusual event at Quantico, Va. “It won’t get out of control once you’re involved at all.”

Trump said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the U.S. “should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” a reference to the Democratic-run cities that he has long said have high crime rates that make them uninhabitable.

Meaning what? The US military should just open fire on US cities? The ones that don’t vote for Trump, of course.

The nearly 150-year-old Posse Comitatus Act limits the use of federal troops in law enforcement activities on American soil — with some exceptions and loopholes.

Whatever; Trump doesn’t consult the law before doing something.

Trump and Hegseth, who also spoke Tuesday, reiterated to top U.S. military commanders the reason the administration had renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War.

“The name change reflects far more than the shift in branding — it’s really a historic reassertion of our purpose, our identity and our pride,” Trump said.

Which is being the aggressor? Our idenniny and our pride and our purpose are in making war on other countries?

He also wants the military to return to the glory days of bullying and sadism to knock people into shape.

Hegseth also said he’d ordered a full review of the Pentagon’s definition of what it deems “toxic leadership, bullying and hazing to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second guessing.”

In other words he wants “leaders” to feel free to enforce standards via toxic leadership, bullying and hazing. Two, three, many Colonel Jessups.
