Pentagon officials are reportedly holding secretive discussions to oppose potential directives from President Donald Trump, including plans to secure the border and streamline the federal workforce. These alleged efforts have sparked concerns among Trump’s supporters, who see them as a challenge to the mandate he received in the 2024 election.
Sources within the Department of Defense have suggested that officials are strategizing over how to respond to orders they deem controversial. One official described the talks as preparation for a “worst-case scenario,” while another speculated about possible resignations among military leaders.

Critics argue that such actions undermine the democratic process, pointing out that Trump’s decisive victory gave him a clear mandate to implement his policies. They emphasize that using active-duty troops for border enforcement is lawful and has historical precedent.
Reports also suggest that officials are preparing to minimize the impact of Schedule F, a policy designed to simplify the removal of underperforming federal employees. Critics of the Pentagon’s actions warn that such moves could further erode public trust in government institutions.

Trump’s allies see these developments as part of a broader pattern of resistance by unelected officials, often referred to as the “Deep State.” They argue that such behavior must be addressed to ensure accountability within federal agencies.

TRUMP: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy" pic.twitter.com/YYEbjRuZyb
