The point where Trump crossed the red line with the generals... [View all]

The moment when he started talking about the enemy within. He said they were worse than external enemies. He declared war on the American people and wanted the blessing of the generals in his disastrous policy.

You can bet the farm that the commanders in his audience did not agree with his attack upon the American people. He wants the country partitioned into Democrats vs Republicans. But only Republicans that agree with him.

It was a disastrous speech which should qualify him for the Amendment 25. It was a red line that cannot be ignored.
