Trump Threatens to Fire Military Leaders ‘On the Spot’
September 30, 2025 at 10:37 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

President Donald Trump threatened to fire top military leaders who might disagree with him at a rare meeting with hundreds of top generals and admirals, USA Today reports.

Said Trump: “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, ok?”
