Trump Cabinet Members Moving Into Military Housing Amid Wave of Political Violence: Report

Source: Mediaite.com

A number of high-profile members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet have moved onto military bases amid a wave of political violence.

In August, the Washington Post reported that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had been living rent-free on a military base in the Washington area. The move, spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said, came as a result of Noem being “horribly doxxed and targeted” to the point that she was “no longer able to safely live in her own apartment.”

As noted in the report, the house she moved into at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling is normally reserve for top navy admirals. According to a Thursday report from The Atlantic, Noem isn’t the only one. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, and a number of others have made similar moves. The report continued:

"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers."

I guarantee it's not the lap of luxury.

I've lived in officer's quarters. The Admiral's, or General's in this case, are the nicest houses but they are certainly not what I would call luxury.

More like an antique bunker with maid service. Many of them have historical significance.....so something else for MAGAt to bulldozer and demolish.

What these hated people are doing is hiding from the public because so many people hate them. Puppy killer Kristi probably also has MAGAts hunting for her because she's a woman. The only one to die in the Nazi march in Charlottesville was a White Woman.

Just because these stupid women side with Nazis, that want to take away their voting rights, doesn't mean the Nazis don't hate them as much as any other woman. Nazis don't protect their own.

In some ramshackle housing that you would not even believe if I told you.

But in terms of the MAGA Gestapo elite,
we are not talking normal junior or even mid level officer housing.
In back water hell and gone locations.

We are talking top of the line general/admiral housing.
In Washington DC!

It is top of the line housing compared to how most Americans live.
And it is certain the housing was renovated along with the private jet
acquisitions, and huge expense accounts.

Top of the line travel, healthcare, staff, servants, clothing, etc.
Suitable for high ranking govt officials.

that they are projecting it on themselves

nukes he's been so crazy about since during

it sounds like Been A Dick Donald's loyal toadies are being moved into safe places, much like when there's a nuclear threat, essential govt workers are moved into a shelter, to preserve the continuity of govt..

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that he's going to drop a nuke or 2 on American cities, but this could be a prelude to him enacting the Insurrection Act and deploy the military onto American cities and streets in massive numbers.

I'm probably letting my imagination run wild, but with this lunatic and his toadies at the reins of power, I wouldn't put anything past him.

I don't know about a nuke........but feel he initially had a definite reason for bringing a whole slew of National Guard, ICE, US Military, FBI, ATF, Border Patrol, Proud Boys, Secret Service, etc all together, in massive numbers, to swarm all over DC, and has had them continue to do so. On standby to protect those responsible for the attempted over throw....including most of all his Fat Ass.?????????

He is now taking major steps to bring his domain, from Mar-a-gago to the DC White House, and preparing it as his new "fortress" and supreme grift of all time.

He saw what HIS J6 crowd of just 5,000 Trumphumpers did to the Capitol, and was worried that a massive group of protestors to his attempted tyranny could easily over run the White House, and the Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, as well as the Republican Supreme Court.
As well as his entire cabinet, advisors, vamps, etc that have quite literally "infested" Washington DC and our Democratic Government......

Remember that he declared the entire Mexico/U.S. border strip a "Military Base" so that he could use the U.S. Military down there.......he could use that as a precedent to make the entire Washington D.C. area a military base, with an overwhelming number of U.S. Military to protect his entire administration from a Civilian Citizen Uprising.........

Stephen Miller Lists $3.7M Home a Month After Protesters Chalked Outside

Protesters have coordinated drawing chalk messages outside Miller's home on at least two occasions.

In September, the group Arlington Neighbors United said in an Instagram post that protesters used their First Amendment rights to chalk “over 50 thoughtful, peaceful messages. Many called for Stephen Miller to end his inhumane policies towards our immigrant and LGBTQIA+ neighbors and to uphold American democratic values.”

Shortly afterward, Katie Miller posted a video washing off the messages on X, writing, “To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent the day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down.”

We all know how they’ll be spinning this in front of the Fox Noise cameras, but I have to wonder if at least one of them, or maybe more, realizes how much misery they have caused, and how many people in America hate them for their own actions, and not because of “anti-American” attitudes of dissenters.

There once was a Cabinet dame,
Whose doxxers had gone quite insane.
To Bolling she fled,
In admirals’ stead,
Now rent-free, she shelters her name.

When Noem took her post by the bay,
The admirals had less to say.
For one by one more,
From Trump’s roster’s core,
Moved in where the Navy should stay.

Said Miller, “I’ll bunk with the brass—
Protesters can kiss the gate pass!”
In quarters secure,
He sleeps, that’s for sure,
While the sailors are left out en masse.

Now Rubio’s in camouflage halls,
Safe behind government walls.
Their freedom’s confined,
By fear intertwined—
A symptom of how the world stalls.

They sought to defend liberty’s claim,
Yet hide where the uniforms came.
With politics hot,
And safety they’ve got,
The line ‘tween the roles isn’t the same.

When leaders retreat from the crowd,
The silence grows heavy and loud.
A fortress of might,
Now shields them from sight—
A mirror of times unavowed.

At what point does it occur to those dummies that their own, extremely unpopular positions have actually put them under house arrest.

When the military gets tired of their shit, the GIs will know just where to find them!

43. What "wave of political violence" is this?
Thu Oct 30, 2025, 02:06 PM

There has been little news of political violence directed at Trump officials. Doxing doesn't count. Do they consider protesting to be violence? No Kings is political violence now?

Government officials of both parties receive threats regularly. To put the phrase "wave of political violence" in a title without providing context, is irresponsible and is right-wing psyops.

command. The only really decent house was the one the CO lived in. The rest of the houses were mid-century modern, shall we say.

I've been to the Navy base in Anacostia, too. Georgetown, it ain't. These Trump cabinistas are hardly living in the lap of luxury.

People who think they are too good to be in the military hide under its skirt! I’m glad they are there actually aside from f-ing up housing for deserving folks!. When it comes time to round them up the guard will know right where to find them!!

like Trump did with Obama and Biden. Stephen and Katie can pay for their own security. I'm sure there are private security companies who can handle the dire threat of chalk on a sidewalk.

I hope their current new digs SUCK. They may feel safer but they don't feel free.

How ironic, Rat Face Miller is living like the rat in "Godfather II" Frankie "Five Angels", on a military base under witness protection.

Soon, but not soon enough, they all will learn what it feels like to be a nazi on the run.

are on the Historic registry. Reserved for the highest ranking officers on their last DC tours. Just one more burr under the saddle for ranking military.

73. The story says Miller et al are living on base
Thu Oct 30, 2025, 11:28 PM
Oct 30

My guess is they are not living in the quarters of the top brass. There isn't enough housing on base to accomodate all the military who want it.

I'll say again, Anacostia is not the part of town most of the cabinetistas would choose to live.

If you've never been on or worked at military base, the buildings are functional, but old and upgrades/new construction is rare. Of course there's more frequent office tech and furniture upgrades, but it's certainly not what you'd find in a commercial office building. I got to go to the Pentagon once and it was disappointing to say the least. I'm sure the center executive offices were very nice, but otherwise, it was lots of drab, cookie cutter offices. But there is a food court and retail shops inside, too.

And in this case, from what I can tell, the vast majority of the current violent acts have been inspired by the violent rhetoric they or the fuhrer they are even more terrified of have promulgated.

This is in lieu of free room and board at a golf course I guess, not something they can count on.

Once their supporters figure out they have been lied to and these are the people who have raised food prices, eliminated their job, and the medical insurance they rely on is more than their total income, maybe they might storm more than the capitol on Jan 6th.

And these are their voters who own the 400 million guns in this country.

Nope must be the left wing extremists. Yea, that's the ticket...

Take into account the behavior of this administration and those who support it:
*There are no rules
*They believe themselves to be the rightful heirs of the country alone

With that in mind:
*They would only live in the best of accommodations temporarily on base while their preferred homes are constructed to their tastes and expectations (see Kristi Noem's DHS jet acquisition). Brand-spanking new.
*As more join, this will all have the appearance of a gated neighborhood or compound.
*Since a military base is not the most choice place to reside, expect them to advance this to prime real estate nowhere near any military base, but will be so designated to keep everyone out and under federal protection.
*They won't pay a fucking dime for it. We will. Invite only and fuck the rest of you.
*Good luck trying to root them out

My theory: Imagine the worst of corruption and power and then let your mind go wild. They will fucking do it.

Dog-ear this. It will advance quickly.
