Trump to use "dangerous cities" as training for military

In his speech today, US President Donald Trump suggested in his remarks that the Department of Defense should use "dangerous cities as training grounds" for military and National Guards.

"I told Pete [Hegseth], we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military, because we`re going into Chicago very soon, that's a big city with an incompetent governor,' the president said during his remarks to a gathering of top generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia.

The President continued his speech and told a story of a video of troops being spit on. According to Trump, a part of the new policy should be "they spit, we hit." "People are standing, their mouth is this far away from their mouth, and theyre spitting at them and they're screaming at them. And that soldier standing there, he wants to knock the hell out of the person, but he's not allowed to do anything," Trump said.

"I say they spit, we hit. Is that okay? I think so, they spit it's a new thing. They spit, we hit,'' he added.

Relatedly, Trump then told the generals that if military or police vehicles are hit with bricks or other objects, that officers should "do whatever the hell" they want

"You get out of that car, and you can do whatever the hell you want to do, because those people are, you now can die from that", he said.
