Answering your questions: Will Trump deploy the military to other cities?

answering questions

This question raises serious questions about legality and constitutionality. The deployment of National Guard troops without the consent of state Governors conflicts with longstanding principles of federalism and would violate the Posse Comitatus Act. This restricts the use of federal military forces in domestic law enforcement. We now see the National Guard openly carrying weapons like M17 pistols and M4 rifles. Its deeply troubling. This really is a stark departure from their traditional role as a support force rather than an armed presence on American streets. Logistics and support. Nothing more. Although the District of Columbia operates under unique federal authority allowing greater presidential control (DOC Home Rule Act), attempts to impose similar force in other states without state approval would ABSOLUTELY constitute overreach of the federal government. Most state officials have denounced these moves as an abuse of power and a threat to democratic norms. Speaking out against him and warning that it risks escalating tensions between federal and state authorities and undermining the constitution. The question is will Trump listen. He doesn’t have a good record as this is concerned. He has absolutely no respect for the Constitution.
