'We believe our president will do what is necessary to support and defend the Constitution'

The F-35B is part of a formation of military aircraft that flew over Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. during a Salute to America event that celebrated the nation’s 244th birthday and provided the DoD an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities and professionalism of the Armed Forces.

Nearly 50 retired military officers have signed a letter supporting President Trump' consideration of federalizing the National Guard or mobilizing the military as a last resort to quell violence in cities where local government has lost control.
"Notwithstanding the non-stop hostility of the news media, President Trump has established a record of being cautious and restrained when using military power," they wrote in a letter published by the Washington Times. "We are confident that he will be extremely prudent in deploying the military domestically in such circumstances as may arise."
