Trump Tells Military Brass US Faces ‘Invasion From Within’

In a speech to military leaders, President Donald Trump claimed that the United States is facing an "invasion from within." The address, held in an unusual gathering of officers stationed globally, focused primarily on border security and what Trump described as the need to eliminate "woke" culture within the military. The president's remarks highlighted his ongoing concerns about immigration and perceived threats to traditional values. While the speech touched on some national security issues, it had a decidedly political tone, straying from the typical non-partisan nature of interactions between the commander-in-chief and military leadership. The event underscored the politicization of the military under the Trump administration and the president's tendency to leverage the armed forces for his own messaging purposes. Overall, the speech represented a departure from the usual, more measured approach in such settings, reflecting the polarized and divisive nature of Trump's rhetoric on issues of national importance.
