Among those being mentioned for Trump’s defense secretary are Christopher Miller, who served temporarily during his administration, Michael Flynn and Mike Pompeo.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation’s two-century-old democracy.

A circle of appointees independent of Trump’s political operation steered him away from ideas that would have pushed the limits of presidential power in his last term, according to books they’ve written and testimony given to Congress. Most were gone by the end. In a new term, many former officials worry that Trump would instead surround himself with loyalists unwilling to say no.

Trump has raised fresh questions about his intentions if he regains power by putting forward a legal theory that a president would be free to do nearly anything with impunity — including assassinate political rivals — so long as Congress can’t muster the votes to impeach him and throw him out of office.

Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

Don’t get my hopes up

[Bob434]

The lamestream media have their new talking point.... “Trump is gonna massacre everyone if he becomes president”

Talk about drama queens!

[SaveFerris]

LOL 😂

Boy are they getting desperate

[Lazamataz]

Four authors, four times the lies.

[Lazamataz]

Next one:

DONALD TRUMP IS MADE OUT OF PURE ANTIMATTER
IF HE CONTACTS MATTER, THE UNIVERSE WILL EXPLODE

[Bob434]

Yes, 1 to write it, and 3 to calm him down with soothing words of support

[Lazamataz]

BTW there is an actual purpose to this propaganda: It is intended to motivate an assassin or to motivate operatives to steal 2024.

[dfwgator]

Exactly. Wouldn’t you kill Hitler if you had the chance?

[Bob434]

The drama queens in the lamestream media have their orders now... make it look like Trump is 7nhi get and more dangerous than Hitler was

[butlerweave]

but I thought the Military was planning to go Rogue and take Trump out

[ABStrauss]

Troops are needed to clean up the Biden illegal miGRUMT catastrophe created boy the Biden-Obama team. It’s going to take ahile and may appear expensive, but it must be done. The deliberate error has to be corrected before this nation can go forward.

To ensure this situation doesn’t multiply while we’re cleaning up our pitiful nation, all immigration and the borders must be closed....tightly.

Thank God for President Trump and his carefully selected vice president.

“>>>It took four people to write this story?<<<
Yep. Three bitches and a queer.”

Which is exactly why they are worried about a military chock full of btches and qr’s

Historically, Kings (monarchy, the executive) were given command of the armies to protect the people (democracy) from the aristocracy.

We’re seeing in real time the reason for that. The oligarchs (aristocracy) are fearful of their power being removed bodily.

See John Adams’ A Defence of the Constitution for more detail and history.

Exactly. Wouldn’t you kill Hitler if you had the chance?

And for the less violent, AT LEAST cheat and make sure he wasn't elected.

[cotton1706]

“It took four people to write this story?”

Whenever you see that, it’s a tell.

“Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House (NBC is leading all of these claims)”

Biden will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he loses his return to the White House

There, fixed it

Just thinking if the Davos Crew didn’t want commercial flight, the idea that the FAA is hiring up people with severe intellectual abilities, and psychiatric ‘disablities’ would certainly curtail activity. I keep wondering is it me or are there really more instances of flight catastrophes?

[MtnClimber]

They always accuse republicans of what they are actually doing themselves.

[PubliusMM]

More lefturd projection.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that these 4 idiots worship Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama - many have already treated him like he is the coming Antichrist - I think that man comes from Europe but it's an excellent dry run

MSNBC and NBC News sponsored the Global Citizen Festival in 2014 - not sure about other years



The 2014 Global Citizen Festival was the one where the whole audience worshiped Obama when his image appeared on the screen in front of them (pre-recorded video)



Look at nearly every mindless idiot in that audience.

Appears that the cop, state trooper, security aren't doing it. Maybe a couple of others. On the far right side.

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama may not be the Antichrist but he does an excellent impersonation of him
