Trump and Hegseth Address Military Leaders

The Spin

Trump's military address delivered exactly what America's armed forces needed to hear. The president assured military leaders of his unwavering support while Hegseth announced crucial reforms to eliminate woke policies and restore warrior standards. This wasn't about firing generals or loyalty tests — it was about rebuilding military excellence through fitness, merit and lethality over political correctness.

This costly spectacle wasted resources and created security risks by gathering hundreds of top military leaders for partisan speeches resembling campaign rallies. Defense officials called it an unserious distraction that could have been an email. The focus on grooming standards and weight while threatening domestic military deployment shows dangerous priorities that undermine actual national security.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 10% chance that U.S. President Donald Trump will formally invoke the Insurrection Act before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
