During comments about protests against immigration enforcement actions, the president recalled seeing demonstrators yelling at soldiers and other federal law enforcement officers who he said want to "knock the hell out of the person," but can't.
"She starts spitting in his face and he's not allowed to do anything," Mr. Trump claimed. "If it's OK with you, generals and admirals, I've taken that off. I say, 'They spit. We hit.' Is that OK? We think so."
I can't even
- Hes very upset that there hasn't been more violence lmao
  
  Specifically, he's mad he hasn't been able to get popular support for gunning down protestors. Quite literally this man wants every protest in America, over anything vaguely left or center, to be met with a hail of .50cal, tanks, everything.
  
  he’s violent in his wicked dirty soul
Fat troops to go with a fat president.
- Uh excuse me, but Donnie T is 7'4" and 326lbs of pure muscle.
  
  The first person with negative body fat!
- Who manages to say something about character being important...
Here I thought the military was full of tough guys who wouldn't stand for being ordered about by a fat pedophile and a drunk wannabe
Finally the US DOD has been defeated. The enemy phone call is coming from inside the country!
Hundreds of generals and admirals were summoned from around the world last week for today's unusual meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Virginia, without initially being told why.
It’s kinda hilarious that I can’t tell if CBS fucked up their reporting or if they actually had the meeting at the museum instead of on base.
(Despite Four Seasons Total Landscaping, I kind suspect CBS fucked up)

  I think it's accurate. The museum was probably the best venue they could get.
  
  That’s crazy. The NYTimes article said it was held on base. I was suspicious of CBS but actually waited until I saw the NYTimes article before I commented.
No more walking on eggshells. For now on we will be walking on. Walking on. Broken glaaasss...
We can't have requirements that are different between men and women. Therefore we will have a single, age normative standard. LOL! I may not be getting it exact but that is a good paraphrase. He said that. Age normative.
Lmao that absolutely the fuck was not rallying the troops
Today at my direction there will be PT every day for all positions from the lowest private to the highest general. Oh. Me. No not me of course. Or the president. Just everyone below me. This is not just a directive for the department of defensowar or I mean department of warNdefense. Anyway its a directive for the whole administration, for all of maga, for all republicans. The rules only apply to those below me. Now let me hear you repeat it!
