Donald Trump, claiming a mandate from his narrow popular vote win, intends to purge the U.S. military from top to bottom and put a Fox News host in charge of the whole thing, hoping to root out any “woke” dissenters and install loyalists in their place who will not object to his using America’s armed forces in ways that may be ill-advised, malicious or both.
As the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, the president-elect’s transition team has reviewed an executive order, which Trump could sign on day one, that would create a “warrior board” of retired MAGA military guys who would recommend or rubber stamp the firing of anyone in the chain of command who they deem lacking in “leadership qualities.”
