President Trump told reporters on Sunday that he’s heading to Camp David to meet with military and other leaders, shortly before he posted a message online calling Los Angeles protesters an “insurrectionist mob.”

During a gaggle before boarding Air Force One, Trump would not rule out invoking the Insurrection Act, which could allow the military to be deployed domestically, but he suggested the protests against immigration raids were not yet an insurrection.

“We’re going up to Camp David; we have meetings with various people about very major subjects,” Trump said. “We’ll be meeting with a lot of people, including generals, as you know, and admirals.”

Trump wouldn’t say what the meetings would be about or whether any foreign officials would be joining.

2. Genuine frontier gibberish.

“We’re going up to Camp David; we have meetings with various people about very major subjects,” Trump said. “We’ll be meeting with a lot of people, including generals, as you know, and admirals.”

“Gonna meet various people about various subjects and then meet with Generals and Admirals too”

&t=5s

12. "Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said.

I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age."

[Botany]

15. He just says words that shows he is and is out to lunch and is trying to bluff his way through the issue.

“Gonna meet various people about various subjects and then meet with Generals and Admirals too”

[FSogol]

24. Lions, and Tigers, and bears oh my and Generals and Admirals too!

[Polly Hennessey]

26. Perfect.

[2MuchNoise]

29. The meeting is about "very major subjects"

Not just average, everyday, major subjects but VERY major subjects.

[Captain Zero]

32. very major subjects, that he is an unfit president to even be discussing

nt

[bucolic_frolic]

3. His entire response lacks legitimacy

A protest cannot be made into an insurrection any more than an insurrection can be made into a tourist visit.

It's like a long episode of Get Smart where KAOS is played by MAGA.

[Mawspam2]

4. The first step to becoming President for Life...

...is to declare nationwide martial law via the Insurrection Act.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. That was my first thought

and I hope whatever generals are left talk him out of it.

[Irish_Dem]

8. I am wondering what the US military generals will do?

They know if they refuse to do what Trump wants they will be fired and possibly courtmartialed.
But they could stand up to him and say no, we are not going to kill Americans on American soil.

And damn the consequences.

Perhaps the generals can stall for time, make some excuses, drag their feet and
hope Trump goes off on the next tangent and forgets this one.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. They need to intercept Miller

who seems to be the engineer of this trainwreck.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Yes it has Miller and Russian fingerprints all over it.

Maybe some other shadowy figures we don't yet know about.

Yes it would be great if someone in CIA and military intel could defang Miller.

[Walleye]

6. He's just making certain he has the military on his side in his lawless autocracy

They are probably just gonna get together at a bar or something and yuk it up about having shot a woman while she was reporting for a news station. “Did you see how she jumped? yuk yuk ha ha”. We are dealing with an administration of spoiled fifth grade boys here

[twodogsbarking]

7. Trump's the problem. He isn't going to fix the problem.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. He's probably just worried about his dumb

parade being called off due to instability in the country.

[FSogol]

13. They'll need to put all those tanks on a train to LA!

Choo-choo! All Aboard, Batshit Crazy Prezident!

[Vinca]

14. American or the Taliban?

[Javaman]

16. I imagine the type of meeting we saw in the movie dr Strangelove when they are all talking about

bodily fluids.

just simple insanity.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. ...

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

18. "They spit, we hit"

I think the most disturbing part is at the end of the article where the Old Man threatens physical violence against anyone that spits on LEOs or military. If those are the rules of engagement he is issuing, it could mean more injured and more court cases for excessive violence (one hopes).

Sigh.

Where was this fervour to protect LEOs on Jan 6th?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

23. He's been spitting

and shitting on our Constitution. When does somebody hit him?

[bdamomma]

35. or even better

Arrest him. He is an enemy within.

[bluestarone]

40. Yep. So far he has Supreme courts

BLESSINGS!!

[travelingthrulife]

19. He is going to threaten them and twist their arms to get them to do unconstitutional acts.

What a nightmare! All we had to do was prosecute him and his pals for J6 insurrection.

[flamingdem]

20. Anyone who attends should state what is said there

Of course they won't want to do that. They will just shine the turd's shoes and hope no one notices.

[Tarzanrock]

21. Remember Operation Valkyrie

[liberalgunwilltravel]

22. Yes, I do

However, I would prefer that a redo were more effective at removing the trash than the first one.

[kskiska]

25. Doesn't he hate Camp David?

He's not exactly the relaxed camping-out type.

[dchill]

27. When will he "rename" it - to "Eagle's Nest?"

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

43. Maybe he could rename it to: "TACO Shell-ter"

[Captain Zero]

33. Yes, I thought that odd, he has been vocal before about it being to rustic

for his golden presence.
Maybe the generals said it had to be there because they know HE AND all the Russian assets in his government have compromised DC as a meeting place.

I'm fine with it being there. It's one more opportunity for a helicopter crash as far as I am concerned.

[pandr32]

28. Maybe they can lure him into a cage there.

All they need is a portrait of him in General and Admiral gear with a gold frame hanging inside. He won't be able to resist going in to admire it. Close and lock the door.

[2MuchNoise]

31. I don't know if you meant this to be funny but I LOLed when I read it.

[bromeando]

30. Trump

The insurrection was on January 6 when trump magaloonies tried to overthrow the government.

[bdamomma]

34. He's a fucking felon

who wants to destroy the US. The military better not listen to this POS.


This is not North Korea.

[oldmanlynn]

36. This is to see if the military is gonna be ok

This is to see if military officials are on board with being actively deployed in America cities to crush protesters and see if he can get by with doing the insurrection act and having military quiet centers and spread fear and chaos

[tanyev]

37. Ooh, Very Major Subjects. Liddle Donny is such an important big boy.

😒

[twodogsbarking]

38. Will they be armed? Shame on me.

[maxsolomon]

39. Admirals?

Is he going to bombard the protests from offshore?

[nattyice]

41. Commander Adama:

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

[BumRushDaShow]

42. That's from the

"new" version. I still like the original!

Edward James Olmos is no Lorne Greene!
