The familiar story of Washington insiders working to undermine Donald Trump appears to be unfolding once again. As the former president prepares for a potential return to the White House, reports have surfaced indicating that Pentagon officials are already holding informal discussions about how to handle orders they might receive under a Trump administration.
According to a report from CNN, these discussions revolve around Trump’s possible use of active-duty troops to address illegal immigration and plans to overhaul the federal bureaucracy by firing large numbers of staff. Defense officials claim they are bracing for what they describe as “worst-case scenarios.”
“We are all preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario, but the reality is that we don’t know how this is going to play out yet,” one defense official stated.
Concerns about the legality of Trump’s potential directives are central to these discussions. Officials are reportedly pondering what would happen if the president issued orders perceived as unlawful and whether military leaders would resist.
“Troops are compelled by law to disobey unlawful orders,” one official said. “But the question is what happens then—do we see resignations from senior military leaders? Or would they view that as abandoning their people?”
The report speculates on scenarios such as Trump deploying troops to the border, assisting with deportations, or invoking the Insurrection Act to quell violent unrest. Critics argue that these measures, while politically charged, are well within the legal framework and have historical precedent.
The notion of Pentagon officials plotting their response to hypothetical Trump orders raises significant questions about the role of unelected bureaucrats in a democratic system. Critics contend that government officials have no right to second-guess or circumvent lawful orders from the president.
“The bureaucracy lives in a world unto itself,” some argue. “Those who inhabit it believe they have the innate right to override elected officials despite the powers in question being designated to those elected officials.”
Trump’s supporters point out that using the military to secure the border or assist in deportations is not inherently unlawful. Federal laws govern immigration enforcement, and the Insurrection Act has been used in the past to restore order during domestic disturbances.
In addition to concerns about military deployment, Pentagon officials are reportedly worried about Trump’s potential reinstatement of Schedule F, an executive order that would make it easier to fire federal employees deemed inefficient or obstructive.
“My email has been inundated on this topic,” a defense official said. “Definitely going to be a busy couple months.”
The directive, first introduced late in Trump’s previous term, required agencies to classify certain roles as Schedule F, stripping job protections for employees in those positions. Although it was rescinded by the Biden administration, officials are reportedly preemptively compiling lists of personnel who could be affected if Trump reinstates the policy.
The Office of Personnel and Management issued a rule in April aimed at protecting federal employees, but defense officials acknowledge that a determined administration could still implement Schedule F with some effort.
For Trump and his allies, the alleged conspiracies within the Pentagon and other federal agencies are seen as proof of the entrenched resistance they face. The former president has long championed the idea of “draining the swamp,” targeting what he sees as an unaccountable and politically biased bureaucracy.
Many in Trump’s camp argue that significant personnel changes are necessary to ensure the government operates in line with the administration’s policies. They see resistance from within as a clear sign that the system is overdue for a shake-up.
“It’s not the job of government officials to shield civilian employees from accountability,” one Trump ally remarked. “Federal employees are not more virtuous than private sector workers, and they shouldn’t be treated as untouchable.
The stage appears set for a renewed battle between a potential Trump administration and the federal bureaucracy. Critics of the Pentagon’s reported discussions warn that any effort to undermine the president’s authority would be an affront to the democratic process.
“This can’t be allowed to happen again,” a political observer noted. “The protective bubble around these bureaucrats must be punctured. They serve at the pleasure of the American people, through their elected leader, not the other way around.”
As Trump and his team prepare for a possible return to power, it’s clear they are ready to confront internal resistance head-on. For those currently conspiring in the shadows, the message is clear: get your resumes ready.

Drain the swamp Americans demand it.
“As the former president prepares for a potential return to the White House, reports have surfaced indicating that Pentagon officials are already holding informal discussions about how to handle orders they might receive under a Trump administration.”
As the new Commander-in-Chief, Donald Trump should prepare to recieve the required resignations, and the prosecutions of these seditious officers.
Discharge worked for Truman regarding MacArthur. Why not this new batch of disobedient officers?
Looks like there’s going to be a lot of fired people in the Government Agencies.
Does no one think that those who are contemplating these moves could be considered TREASON by those who are doing this????????????????????????????????
In military direct insubordination is Treason and should be shot for not following direct orders from a commander in chief. Trump needs to clean house and get rid of Woke environment BS policies. This is the American military not a daycare center. These fruit loops need to play dress up some where else. We have to get back to the lean mean fighting machines of America.
They damn well better do what the President orders them to do! Insubordination WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THE PRESIDENCY!!! THEY WILL BE FIRED-NO BENEFITS; NO RETIREMENT!!!
Maybe now, our soldiers won’t have to have trannies in their ranks or have trannies giving them orders.

Trump must fire Austin and all the DEI/CRT/ESG Diversity pukes Obama brought in. Odd Trump failed to do that before!
As soon as PRESIDENT TRUMP demotes the trannies to latrine duty, this “insurrection” will stop. An added bonus, the recruiting quotas will fill up day one of the inauguration and the Tampon machines in the men’s latrines will be gone.
If I was Trump I would tell the Pentagon I am Commander and Chief of the military. I think I see people getting fired in the future and a few Courts Martial’s.
Folks, don’t get too worked up over the top brass considering resisting President Trump as he starts the process of cleaning up the swamp in general and specifically cleaning up the Pentagon. You see Donald Trump is the first true ‘Battle Captain’ to be elected as our President and Commander-in-Chief, and there are hordes of able bodied veterans and soldiers in the ranks who will delight in dragging the top brass out of their offices and sending them packing.

FINALLY, A TRUE BATTLE CAPTAIN!
America, we are now on the path to make America great again. Why? Because over 75 million of us have elected the very first true ‘Battle Captain’ as our President and Commander-in-Chief. Why Do I say Donald Trump is our first true Battle Captain? Because, Donald Trump is the first president to regularly demonstrate that the ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ are a part of his character. The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ listed in the order of their importance in a survey of 1645 ground combat veterans are: CANDOR, COMPETENCE, COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, COURAGE, COMPASSION, and COURTESY.
As one of the army officers charged with finding a true Battle Captain among all those army officers serving this nation from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam Conflict, I can testify that we only found one officer who made the grade of ‘Battle Captain’. And, he like Donald Trump was not a professional soldier. A year before the Battle of Gettysburg he was a college professor, yet most historians credit him for saving the Union Forces left flank and forcing General Lee to commit his forces to a frontal attack which failed. The Battle of Gettysburg is generally credited as the turning point of the Civil War and lead to the surrender of the Confederate Forces two years later.
Donald Trump has proven that he is indeed a Battle Captain. He has turned the attacks on our flanks and now I am confident he will succeed in an overwhelming envelopment of all the forces trying to destroy America. God bless and protect Donald Trump, and God Bless and protect America as we help Donald Trump make America great again.
