Trump has always shown a bit of White Nationalism to him, Hegseth showing quite more along with Jesus - Crusader Nationalism to boot. Both are that way, no surprise, but they are intending to use the military to police us, calling it "training," and that's illegal under the Posse Comatatis Act.

Trump and Hegseth declare an end to 'politically correct' leadership in the US military

President Donald Trump revealed that he wants to use American cities as training grounds for the armed forces and joined Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday in declaring an end to ''woke'' culture before an unusual gathering of hundreds of top U.S. military officials who were abruptly summoned to Virginia from around the world.

From late in the story:

During his nearly hour-long speech, Hegseth said the U.S. military has promoted too many leaders for the wrong reasons based on race, gender quotas and ''historic firsts.''

''The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don't-hurt-anyone's-feelings leadership ends right now at every level,'' Hegseth said.

That was echoed by Trump, who said ''the purposes of America military is not to protect anyone's feelings. It's to protect our republic.″

″We will not be politically correct when it comes to defending American freedom,'' Trump said. ''And we will be a fighting and winning machine.''

So, White's only perhaps, certainly, Whites preferred seems the mood. Moreover, buried last in the report -

Hegseth's speech came as the country faces a potential government shutdown this week and as Hegseth, who has hammered home a focus on lethality, has taken several unusual and unexplained actions, including ordering cuts to the number of general officers and firings of other top military leaders.

Hegseth has championed the military's role in securing the U.S.-Mexico border, deploying to American cities as part of Trump's law enforcement surges, and carrying out strikes on boats in the Caribbean that the administration says targeted drug traffickers.

Cops are cops. Trained military killers are for war, not for policing citizens. That's Bullshit. (That's Trump.)

[...] "Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed ... Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist," Marie Brenner wrote.

Hitler was one of history's most prolific orators, building a genocidal Nazi regime with speeches that bewitched audiences.

[...] When Brenner asked Trump about how he came to possess Hitler's speeches, "Trump hesitated" and then said, "Who told you that?"

"I don't remember," Brenner reportedly replied.

Trump then recalled, "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of 'Mein Kampf,' and he's a Jew."

Brenner added that Davis did acknowledge that he gave Trump a book about Hitler.

"But it was 'My New Order,' Hitler's speeches, not 'Mein Kampf,'" Davis reportedly said. "I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish."

[...] In the Vanity Fair article, Ivana Trump told a friend that her husband's cousin, John Walter "clicks his heels and says, 'Heil Hitler," when visiting Trump's office.

Here's the entire Vanity Fair interview.

I could not have made that up, nor, I believe, could first wife Ivana. I have no reason to doubt it.
