The Pentagon is on high alert for what Trump might do in his last days

US media said that military commanders in the Pentagon and Washington are on high alert, fearing what President Donald Trump might do in his remaining days in office. The American magazine “Newsweek” quoted military sources as saying that senior officers discussed what they would do if the president declared martial law, and the military leaders responsible for Washington, DC, would participate in secret contingency planning in the event that the armed forces were called in to maintain or restore civilian order during the inauguration period and the new president moved to White House.

“I have worked in the military for more than 40 years and have never seen the discussions taking place now, and the need for such discussions,” added a retired Ensign officer, who currently works as a defense contractor who advises and advises senior commanders of his service. The newspaper quoted American officers concerned about the army’s involvement in a crisis that Trump might fabricate to reverse the election results, noting that “Trump may mobilize private militias and paramilitary forces loyal to him to disrupt the transition and spread violence in Washington.”

And media reports said during the past days, that US President Donald Trump, the loser in the recent elections in favor of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, inquired about the possibility of deploying US military forces to cancel the results of the presidential elections that took place last month. According to a report published by Forbes magazine, the idea was initially raised by the president’s former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, but Trump’s advisers rejected the proposal at a meeting. “The New York Times” correspondent, Maggie Haberman, said, Saturday, that the president asked about Flynn’s idea, as it was reported that senior officials had become very concerned because of Trump’s heightened interest in eccentric plans during his last days in power. Axios reported that even some of Trump’s loyal high-ranking officials have been bothered by his behavior, including his interest in Flynn’s views. A senior official said the president “spends his time talking to the conspirators who openly say that declaring martial law is not an important thing.”
