Reports indicate that Pentagon officials are holding informal discussions to resist directives from President Donald Trump, despite his overwhelming electoral victory. These talks allegedly involve strategies to oppose using troops for immigration enforcement and efforts to reform federal agencies.
Defense officials reportedly told CNN they are preparing for “worst-case scenarios” under Trump’s administration. Some have raised concerns about the legality of potential orders, while others speculate about the possibility of resignations among senior military leaders.

Supporters of Trump argue that his election victory provided a clear mandate for his policies. They view resistance from Pentagon officials as a direct challenge to the will of the voters who backed him in the 2024 election.
At the end a lady blames Trump for the left’s secret meetings at the Pentagon, saying his actions are forcing them to. Yet, it's the mainstream media that would make them feel that way, NOT TRUMP. Even after an attempt on his life, the lies get worse. pic.twitter.com/FYLw9NPBH7

Efforts to counter Schedule F, a policy designed to simplify the removal of underperforming federal employees, are also reportedly underway. Critics argue these actions protect bureaucrats from accountability and undermine Trump’s goal of creating a more efficient government.
Trump’s allies have long criticized the so-called “Deep State” for working against the administration’s agenda. They argue that unelected officials must respect the authority of elected leaders to ensure democratic principles are upheld.

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

As Trump prepares to take office, his supporters are calling for decisive action to address disloyalty within federal agencies. They warn that failure to confront these challenges could erode trust in government institutions and weaken the administration’s ability to deliver on its promises.
