More pearl-clutching from the left’s media as they scream:
Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House
A network of public interest groups and lawmakers, nervous about former President Trump’s potential return to power, is quietly devising plans to foil any effort on his part to pressure the U.S. military to carry out his political agenda. https://t.co/jLbRqC2riT

Among those being mentioned for Trump’s defense secretary are Christopher Miller, who served temporarily during his administration, Michael Flynn and Mike Pompeo.
This is laughable hypocrisy. This is NBC, a bastion of leftist lunacy and definitely not a supporter of checks and balances when it applies to a Biden White House, bleating about the potential damage President Trump might inflict on our nation. Where is this outrage when it comes to the southern border, the unsanctioned war against the Houthis, the endless spending, the move around Congress to erase student debt and other recent Biden moves ?
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation’s two-century-old democracy...
…Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

That’s the Deep State right there, folks!
