Reports have surfaced alleging that Pentagon officials are holding informal talks aimed at resisting potential directives from President Donald Trump, despite his decisive 2024 victory that reflected the will of the American people. These discussions reportedly involve strategies to counter Trump’s plans, including deploying active-duty troops to address illegal immigration and implementing workforce reforms in federal agencies.
Unnamed defense officials reportedly told CNN that they are preparing for “worst-case scenarios,” with some speculating about the legality of Trump’s potential orders. One official questioned whether senior military leaders might resign rather than comply with controversial directives.
At the end a lady blames Trump for the left’s secret meetings at the Pentagon, saying his actions are forcing them to. Yet, it's the mainstream media that would make them feel that way, NOT TRUMP. Even after an attempt on his life, the lies get worse. pic.twitter.com/FYLw9NPBH7

Critics argue these discussions reflect an ongoing effort by unelected officials to subvert Trump’s authority, as seen during his first term. Supporters of the president insist that his election victory gave him a clear mandate to enact policies supported by voters. They also emphasize that using troops to assist with border enforcement is consistent with federal law and historical precedent.
The discussions reportedly include plans to shield civilian employees from the effects of Schedule F, an executive order introduced by Trump to simplify firing underperforming federal workers. One defense official admitted that lists are being prepared to minimize the impact on the workforce, raising questions about transparency within the Department of Defense.

Trump’s supporters view this as a continuation of the so-called “Deep State” resistance that plagued his first term. They argue that unelected bureaucrats have no right to undermine policies backed by the electorate.
TRUMP: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy" pic.twitter.com/YYEbjRuZyb

As Trump prepares to assume office, calls are growing for decisive action to address perceived disloyalty within federal agencies. Observers warn that any attempts to resist Trump’s authority could further erode trust in government institutions and deepen political divides.
