Generals WIN battle with Donald Trump as 82nd Airborne soldiers are REMOVED from D.C.

Generals WIN battle with Donald Trump as 82nd Airborne soldiers are REMOVED from D.C. after chairman of joint chiefs publicly slammed president telling troops to 'uphold the Constitution'

Soldiers with the 82nd Airborne division of the Army were ordered out of Washington, D.C. and back to Fort Bragg, North Carolina on Thursday night

The about 200 active duty troops were kept on standby at bases near the nation's capital and were never called into the city in the midst of riots

The move is a clear reversal after Donald Trump faced backlash for calling in the military to serve as backup should the National Guard need assistance

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, former Army General John Allen and former Defense Secretary James Mattis all pushed back against Trump

Milley told troops in a Thursday memo to 'uphold the Constitution' 'We all committed our lives to the idea that is America' after he defended protesters' right to assemble,' he added in pen at at the bottom of the letter

Mattis and retired four-star General Allen both bashedTrump in separate op-eds

They specifically called out police clearing Lafayette Park with tear gas and rubber bullets so Trump could visit a church across the street for a photo-op.

'It may well signal the beginning of the end of the American experiment,' Allen said of the church visit where Trump held up his bible for photos .

'Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people - does not even pretend to try,' Mattis wrote

It looked tense last night. National Guard harassed and yelled at from a few feet away constantly by psycho black women and a pacing man. Outrageous.

Rope-a-Dope.

Trump is the world-class expert at holding a big, shiny distraction for the press in one hand, while he sets up what he's really wanting to do, in the other.

With the declaration of Panifa (always in a bunch) as a terrorist org, that opens up all KINDs of massive investigative powers to crawl up their rear with a microscope regarding electronic communications and financing.

Also, Attorney General Barr had to explain to the six-year-olds in the press today at his press conference, that Mr. Poopyhead Trump can TOO move all kinds of OTHER Federal Law Enforcement assets anywhere in the country he wants in pursuit of investigation of terrorism, and unlike those nasty evil verybad nogood military troops, President Trump doesn't have to get a lefty Governor's or Mayor's permission first.

Yes, and the grand finale will happen this weekened. I desperately hope I’m wrong, but I have a feeling that some time after the protesters show up at the WH, and things get a little tense, they’re going to put on a big Hollywood production with all of the local NG and DC police taking a knee.

And that will be the end of it.

Trump is just a really good poker player. He says things forcefully and its believable. This is why he has avoided wars for 3 years. People heard him and dispersed without him having to fire a shot. That’s called an amazing negotiation. The point isn’t to kill people its to calm the situation. Mission accomplished for now.

Mattis had approved a $10 billion dollar contract for Amazon which President Trump cancelled.

I think Mattis is pissed he won't be getting the skim off of it.

I’m sorry but I disagree. The narrative has been completely hijacked and turned political when it didn’t need to be. He has the bully pulpit and must seize the moment especially in an election season. Not addressing the people from the oval office is a big mistake and he’s losing out on a chance to be very Presidential.

I’ve emailed him several times to say as much and I’m hoping that he can say the same things that he did at nasa on Saturday to a national audience because nobody heard it. Simply repeating the same speech to a national audience would be a home run.

The VERY FIRST QUESTION Barr is asked is “Where did you get the authority to do this?”

Trump & Barr need state & local permission for military intervention. They need the Governor’s & Mayor’s permission.

If the Governor won’t send in the Guard, Trump can’t force him to. If the Mayor orders the police to stand down, Barr can’t order them to stand up. So get this down clearly:

Barr & Trump ***don’t need permission from ANY state or local official*** to send in federal agents.

Clinton and Jake Reno set the standards for sending in Federal Agents, remember Waco!

Federal 3-letter SWAT teams, which were built by the previous globalist administrations to be used against red America, have been deployed against the Democrat instigated rioters.

Trump can't afford to fire anyone as major as the Sec of Defense this close to the election - Esper is new. It will have to be done after the election. Reelected presidents always make changes within days after the election.

Trump has shown he can be patient and just wait. If he fired him, it would play into the White House is in chaos and no one can work with Trump and he is this or he is that..., etc.

Another FRiend posted a link to Brian Cates’ Twitter account earlier today. It explains a lot, but needs to be followed to the end:

https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/1268590120422248451

Interestingly, it suggests that not only was the brief deployment of the 82nd a ruse, but so was Sec Def Esper’s apparent falling out with Trump.

All misdirection to confuse the communists and their media lackeys.

Told ya long ago. This is about using these riots as means of CONTROL. Getting rid of Trump before the election is their best hope. They can taint the polls to say Biden is ahead of 100 points, etc. They have to do it before the election. These generals are dimocrats. Probably supported obammy during his 8 years. Bunch of losers who KISS BUTT to make rank. I hated these types of officer during my career. It was all about THEIR careers. Screw the troops. Run over the troops to make themselves look good. That is what their main deals were. I hated officers like this. Hated them.

I don’t think there is much doubt that Obama left the military weakened with leadership more concerned about global warming, trans rights, etc than actual defense. Trump inherited a mess from the FBI with another deep stater at its helm to the Pentagon; it takes a long time to create change. Everyone thinks it can happen overnight, but it takes a long time to create a cultural change in an organization.

This POTUS under constant threats and harassment, with growing violent riots, should have a _large_ contingent of US military in or extremely close to DC.

Any real commander of USA would, in these circumstances.

We-The-People have a right to our POTUS, alive; not dead or injured by deep state bull-feathers.

Sorry POTUS but it is wartime in USA and esp. DC which USAians and (hopefully) you, are trying to liberate from the creatures currently controlling it.

They have NOT returned to Ft. Bragg. Additional units from Bragg are being sent to hot spots. In preparation for the declaration of Antifa as a domestic terrorist group.

The UK Daily Mail is off it’s rocker, and being led by the nose. Nothing of the sort is happening like this. Milley and Esper are ON BOARD with the connection of the current anti-Drug operation in S. America (vs. Maduro) and the cooperation of the desperate Mexican Government vs. the cartels. There is dope money supporting Antifa, laundered through layers and business/tech front groups.... and laundered by George Soros.

Yes— Dan Bongino. Know that this OP is continuing and is NOT subject to public release (except by some false leaker who is being “outed” by their fake leaks.

Mattis is out of his mind, this is deep state horse crap— as we get further over the target on the Coup.

said, "They view him as a short timer and think The Swamp is forever"

If that was true why do they fight him so hard? Wouldn't the logical thing be to attempt to make him look silly and ignore his actions?

No. i believe they see him as a major threat.

LSM FAKE NEWS-take it with a grain of salt. Reporters have no idea what is really going on. 82 airborne likely needed else where. First Cavalry Division from Ft. Hood was brought in, but I saw no mention of it. POTUS can move troops whenever and where ever, and there's no leaks.

AND THEN WE HAD THIS ON JUNE 3:

Garrett Haake ✔ @GarrettHaake

"Back outside the White House. Today the perimeter has been pushed back another half block. Federal law enforcement of some kind, but they won’t identify themselves, and all insignias and name plates have been removed."

It seems that reporters are dopey. LSM reporters print out of context, rumors, and made up stories--that's why they are FAKE NEWS. I don't believe any story they initially spin out-large grains of salt.
