Troops in Europe
Trump might also consider relocating or withdrawing American forces from Europe. In 2020, Trump pushed to withdraw 12,000 troops from Germany, relocating about half of them across the continent and returning the other half to the United States. However, Congress rejected that proposal.
Trump hasn’t stopped complaining, though, that some NATO members don’t invest enough in their defense and that they might use American forces as leverage to get more concessions.
However, increasing American troops’ presence in Eastern Europe, where they can better train with nations worried about Russian aggression, has bipartisan support as well. Trump might find it appealing that many of those nations devote a larger portion of their GDP to defense.
Targeting ‘woke’ leadership
In 2016, the Obama administration issued an order allowing transgender personnel to serve openly in the military. However, Trump infuriated Democrats and LGBTQ advocates in 2017 when he declared he would reinstate the ban.
So, he will. A couple of weeks ago he stated in a post that “The United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military.” We will not have a woke military!”
The Pentagon’s diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are frequently criticized by conservatives in the House for detracting from the agency’s primary mission. Under a Trump administration, these programs are probably going to be scaled back or discontinued completely.

I. Hope President Trump gets rid of Our Generals with their Chinese Counter Parts that are on Speedial
