Pentagon officials are once again plotting against President Trump, this time discussing ways to countermand his potential controversial orders, according to reports from CNN. Defense sources reveal that these unelected bureaucrats are “gaming out” scenarios, including the possibility of Trump deploying military troops for mass deportations and reclassifying federal employees for easier dismissal.
But one Republican contributor called out the hypocritical behavior of these officials, stating that they should communicate directly with Trump instead of plotting behind closed doors. “What’s Donald Trump supposed to think?”CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Scott Jennings. “He’s gotta read in the newspaper tonight that the unelected bureaucracy of the federal government is having meetings, at some level, about how to thwart or counterman the Commander in Chief.”
The main concern for these officials is the potential reinstatement of Schedule F, a Trump-era order that made it easier to dismiss underperforming civil servants. Sources claim to have received countless emails on this topic, with one defense official stating, “My email has been inundated on this topic.” President Biden already abolished this order within his first week in office, but Trump has promised to reinstate it in the future.

In addition, Trump’s relationship with the Department of Defense is expected to be very different in his second term. Officials speculate that this could lead to a more aggressive use of the military, such as deploying troops to the border or using them to combat “the enemy within” – a term Trump used to describe his political opponents.
It’s no secret that Trump has faced backlash and betrayal from former appointees, including former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley and former Chief of Staff John Kelly. Kelly even compared Trump to a fascist and accused him of praising Adolf Hitler, a claim that Trump vehemently denied. These individuals, along with other critics from the 2020 election cycle, will likely not be part of Trump’s second term.
But despite the opposition and challenges, Trump continues to fight for the American people and their best interests. And the fact that unelected bureaucrats are plotting against him only reaffirms his commitment to drain the swamp and shake up the establishment. With Trump’s determination and resilience, there’s no doubt that he will continue to make America great again.
They aren’t just against Trump, they are against America. They should be unifying to better America not conspiring to destroy our country. Hate is a very destructive emotion.
As an Army retiree and staunch supporter of President Trump, I would terminate each and everyone who was in attendance at this rogue meeting. Every President deserves and requires the support of their military, regardless of which political party the President may belong.
These people trying to undermine President Trump are incredibly asinine. They’re worried about schedule F being reinstated, but what these imbeciles don’t seem to be able to grasp that what they’re doing is exactly why our nation needs it. Every underperforming insubordinate jacka$$ should be fired with the utmost speed. Period.
Trump needs to do a clean sweep of all appointed positions. There should not be any Biden or Obama holdovers. And all of Trump’s nominations or appointments’ must have expertise and experience in the area in which they will be working. For instance: The Secretary of Transportation must be someone with a knowledge of and experience of transportation systems and transportation safety. Political hacks or lifetime bureaucrats just don’t cut it.
Send the little twit back to South Bend!
This should be an easy problem to fix. Trump has a lot of experience saying “You’re fired!”
Apparently these so-called “higher-ups” have never head of the term TREASON?
Anyone ignoring any lawful order from the COMMANDEER IN CHIEF can brought up on charges of TREASON. FAFO.
Sounds like treasonous activity to me. I hope Trump rolls some of their heads!
How about a large stack of pink slips delivered to the traitors?
Trump talked about the enemy within. So these dummies have a meeting so he knows for sure who the enemy within is.
To rerun Afganistan 2021
It’s TREASON, plain and simple!
Lock them up, no bail. Give them there day in court as fast as the J6r’s have gotten their’s…
This is at minimum insurrection and is punishable with up to 10 years in federal prison for each act. If they could be convicted of treason that could be tons cheaper for the American tax payer. Technically all we’d need is some rope.
It’s called DISOBEYING a legal order, go to prison, at the very least…..
deploying troops to the border is a good idea , using them to combat crime where police cannot is something the demoRats were ready to do. they were ready to use troops against american people, this was in the news right before elections the rats also deployed them arround the white house
TREASON!!! Defying the COMMANDER AND CHIEF!!!
Can someone tell me what is wrong with getting rid of underperforming federal employees?
