Trump speaks, Hegseth bakes. American generals don't clap and keep quiet

There was no fanfare or applause in Quantico – only silence and anxiety. Donald Trump announced in a speech to 800 generals a fresh era of military usage against citizens. His minister of war, Pete Hegseth thundered about the end of the “beard” and the “woke of the army”. This grotesque threat revealed that America is closer to a state of emergency than she would like to admit.
