"President Donald Trump sparked a wave of condemnation on Tuesday when he said he told Secretary of War Pete Hegseth we should use American cities as training grounds for our military. Trump spoke to hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals at a rare gathering of top brass in Quantico, Virginia, following remarks from Hegseth. During his unwieldy speech, full of political attacks, Trump attacked the left, repeating his claim that ex-President Joe Biden intentionally let in murderers and other criminals."
"And I told Pete we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military, because we're going into Chicago's very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor. Stupid. They threw him out of his family business. He was so stupid. I know the family. He becomes governor. He's got money. Not money that he made, but he ran for governor, he won, and now he criticizes us all the time."
Trump told hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals at Quantico that he had told Secretary of War Pete Hegseth the military should use American cities as training grounds. He attacked the left and repeated a claim that ex‑President Joe Biden intentionally let in murderers and other criminals. He called the Illinois governor "stupid" while saying forces would be going into Chicago soon and invoked Portland as resembling a war zone when governors asked federal forces not to enter. The remarks provoked online alarm and condemnation, with critics calling the idea dystopian and denouncing the speeches as weak portrayals of leadership.
