I am largely with you, however the direct Trump referencing is unwarranted - it is the institution he will represent, not the man, which is involved in this political battleground.

EDIT: to wit, the institution is the most powerful military force, active across the globe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_Uni...

He doesn't represent the administration, he leads it.

It seems perfectly fair and reasonable reason to mention the power the president has in the situation given some of the president elect's statements.
