Pentagon officials are reportedly engaging in behind-the-scenes discussions to resist President Donald Trump’s policies, despite his overwhelming electoral victory in 2024. These talks are said to include plans to counter Trump’s use of active-duty troops for border security and his efforts to reform the federal workforce.
Sources claim these informal meetings focus on scenarios where military leaders might defy Trump’s orders, with some officials reportedly questioning the legality of such directives. One defense official speculated on whether senior leaders would resign rather than carry out certain actions.

Trump’s supporters argue that the president’s victory, which included dominating the Electoral College and winning the popular vote, gives him the authority to implement the policies voters endorsed. They view any resistance as a direct challenge to the will of the American people.
One controversial topic is Trump’s potential reintroduction of Schedule F, a measure aimed at streamlining the firing of federal employees for inefficiency or misconduct. Reports suggest that efforts are underway within the Department of Defense to shield employees from the policy’s effects.

Some of those orders include using active military to assign in carrying out mass deportations… pic.twitter.com/GeKczkGe6e

Critics of these reported actions argue that the so-called “Deep State” within the federal government is actively working to undermine Trump’s authority. They warn that such efforts could reignite the bureaucratic resistance seen during his first term.
TRUMP: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy" pic.twitter.com/YYEbjRuZyb

Trump’s allies are calling for a thorough overhaul of federal agencies, arguing that unelected officials must not be allowed to obstruct the policies mandated by voters. The unfolding situation raises questions about the balance of power between elected leaders and career bureaucrats.
