Ah, I thought it was said at the military gathering this morning.

Oh, it was, but that was what he was saying.

It’s the same schtick as the last time he mentioned the “golden dome”, and I’m pretty sure it was the exact same wording: “Canada called me up and wants to be a part of it…”. Sure, bud.

It’s all just stupid nonsense, and I wouldn’t give it any more oxygen.

Now he’s going on about his plan for reduced drug prices , TrumpRX. Mathematically qualified with 1000% savings!

I would hope there’s a good chunk of generals just shaking their heads at this, but I can imagine being also entirely afraid to even voice it with a peer. This is a bend the knee moment and they will absolutely gut anyone who balks at this even a little bit. You wouldn’t even know who it would be safe to talk to in case they turn you in.

I'm not watching. What were the reactions? Polite applause? Uproarious laughter? Pensive muttering?

It's military brass. Polite applause when typically required and that's it, it's not a MAGA rally for them.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"
Trump declares war on Americans: "Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies foreign and domestic. That's what the oath says -- foreign and domestic. Well we also have domestic."
Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."
Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."


Quite the speech he gave...
