Reference News, October 1 report: According to the German news television channel website on September 30, US President Trump mobilized senior military officers that day to prepare them for a "war" within the United States. Trump told senior officers that the United States was in a "civil war." He accused "radical left-wing Democrats" of allowing crime and immigration influxes in cities under their jurisdiction, such as San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. He said that "a few of these dangerous cities should be used as training grounds."
Trump said that the military must fight against "internal enemies." He said that the government must intervene before the situation gets out of control, and the army should play a "big role" in this regard. Trump has already sent troops to multiple U.S. cities governed by Democratic administrations.
According to reports, Trump and U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper intend to reorient the U.S. military ideologically. Esper announced the cancellation of all equal opportunity and anti-discrimination programs. Trump added, "We are reviving the warrior spirit."
In the video from the event, it can be seen that neither Esper nor Trump received any applause during their speeches, despite pausing to wait for it. The Washington Post reported that Trump spoke for more than an hour, but most of the time he received only silence from the audience. When Trump took the stage, he said that he had never been in a room so quiet. He said, "If you want, you can clap." He also said, "Whoever wants to leave can leave, but they will have to give up their careers." (Translated by Wang Qing)
