‘It could have been an email’Viewers stunned by Hegseth and Trump’s bizarre Quantico speeches to military chiefs

"One defense official called the meeting a ‘waste of money,’ and another likened it to a ‘press conference’

President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held their big military meeting on Tuesday that saw top brass from across the world flown in to a meeting in Virginia, all to be told to lose weight and prepare for possible deployment against the American public.

“We flew every general from across the world for this?” Democratic Senator Reuben Gallego, an Iraq war veteran, said in a post on X. “This meeting could have been an email.”

Predictions for the purpose of the surprise meeting ranged from Trump demanding a loyalty oath from generals to Hegseth publicly firing "woke" generals."
