Democrats stand out after Trump vowed that “dangerous” American city could be a military “training ground”
President Donald Trump’s advice is that the U.S. military can use deployment to U.S. cities as an opportunity to train for irregular wars in public protests, which has sparked a blunt response from U.S. senators seeing combat during their invasion of Iraq.
The president appeared Tuesday before a rally of hundreds of top military officials, gathered at a Virginia military base by War Secretary Pete Hegseth – providing the armed forces with familiar right-wing discontent, including new guidance from Hess, including new guidance that can effectively exclude women from combat roles.
However, Trump loudly introduced the possibility that the military should use “dangerous cities” such as Chicago as the troops. The possibility that the former Fox News host transformed into Pantatabon’s boss, but Trump’s affairs are even further away than the former Fox News host transformed boss.
“We have to deal with it before it gets out of control. Once you’re involved at all, it doesn’t get out of control once,” Trump said.

“Look, the president is an idiot – he doesn’t actually understand how the military works,” said Marine Iraq War veteran Gallego.
Democratic senators said military members swore to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, and even if the Trump administration ordered it, they would not open fire on their men and women, their own neighbors, their own neighbors.”
“Only idiots like Donald Trump” he said would believe they would do it.

Gallego added that “anyone” in the military who uses force to American civilians will “responsible in one way or another” and stressed that “most or not all” people he serves “knowing that they take oaths to comply with the Constitution.”
“This is not this president. When that moment comes, they will live in that constitution.”
The White House did not respond immediately independent.
