🚨 BREAKING: Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling just TORCHED Donald Trump for floating the idea of using America’s cities as “training grounds” for the military.

Hertling — a decorated U.S. Army leader — warned that Trump’s plan is unconstitutional, unlawful, and a chilling preview of a second term where our own troops could be ordered to act as an occupying force against American citizens.

“Soldiers aren’t trained to police civilians. What Trump is suggesting is illegal,” Hertling said. And he made it clear: the military will not execute unlawful orders.

This is not strength. It’s authoritarian theater. And as Hertling says: if we don’t stop Trump now, the next “war” he wages could be against any of us.

Help spread the word — our democracy depends on it. ✊
