It is very hard for me to believe that Trump would use our military against us like to “keep us in line”. I find it hard to believe that a US soldier would attack a person regardless of citizenship in this country. On the other hand we have seen how his private DHS army operates. I find it quite believable that the Trump administration would allow or fake a big domestic terrorism attack to try to cancel the midterm elections. I put nothing past this dictator.

To understand why April 2 matters, it helps to step back.

In fact, the pattern may have begun even earlier. On January 21, 2025, Linda Fagan, the Commandant of the Coast Guard, was removed from her post just hours into the new administration. The Coast Guard operates under the Department of Homeland Security in peacetime, not the Pentagon, and her dismissal came before the broader reshaping of military leadership took hold. Yet Fagan was a four-star service chief, midway through a statutory term. Her removal signaled, from the outset, a willingness to replace senior uniformed leadership at the highest levels. It was framed as a way to combat “woke” policies.
