Trump hints at TERRIFYING USE OF MILITARY (never underestimate Trump and his ability to grab power)


While campaigning in Iowa, Donald Trump hinted at expanding the use of the military under the Insurrection Act.
He specifically named blue cities like New York and Chicago calling them "crime dens." “The next time, I’m not waiting. One of the things I did was let them run it and we’re going to show how bad a job they do,” the former president said.

to punish protesters. It is the protesters that he HATES, and he (and his followers) want revenge on them.

People protesting police violence, protesting abortion bans, protesting Supreme Court decisions (that are coming) against health care (the ACA), gay rights, birth control, same sex marriage, voting rights, the free press, immigration, and more. So-called "left-wing" issues, (humanitarian issues) that would enable him to punish the "left" and anyone who criticizes this sociopathic past president. Every shitty thing he will do will trigger protests, and he knows this. Trying to justify his military state, he has to say "drugs, crime, blah blah blah" but it is really legal protestors, people with brown skin, and the press.

I'm sure he'll want revenge on the court system too, "so accountability can never happen again" -- to him. He has been humiliated by going to court, and he is seething with rage about it. He is plotting his sweet payback, and it will be totalitarian.
