President Donald Trump He has expanded his military campaign against the United States by deploying armed troops to another important metropolitan area, Announcing Monday Who is sending the National Guard to Washington, DC, to “free” the city.
The DC operation, launched two months after the start of His repression of Los AngelesExpand a national police style campaign that some senior administration officials describe to Rolling stone As a sample of “shock and aswe” force, a reference to the foreign war in Iraq that Trump has pretended Object.
It will only get worse.
The president and his best government publicly emphasize that this will not end with DC and the other military options are on the table. The facts, laws and data do not seem to import: Trump and his team believe that whatever is good, every time he hears, including the use of the United States armed forces for domestic purposes for domestic purposes, as well as intimidate their enemies. Your team is gathering plans to do precisely that.
“Do not be mistaken, this is just the beginning”, US prosecutor of the Columbia Jeanine Pirro-A S Firmitly Pro-Trump Anth Fox News to whom the president took advantage of specifically. “Ruestas– ” saying Monday night.
At a press conference on Monday, announcing that the Federal Government had taken advantage of the “direct” control of the DC Police Department and that the National Guard would soon occupy the city, Trump warned that if he and his officials decide that they “need”, it will also deploy military forces to other democratic cities. The president appointed some, Including ChicagoOakland and Baltimore. The governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, a Democrat to whom Trump attacked by name, compared the use of the military by Trump with the Nazis disarming the Constitutional Republic of Germany, by him Chicago Tribune.
Triumph Has longed for a long time To unleash the military on American soil for their political agenda, and the DC deployments and this summer are critical fields in the vision of their increasingly authoritarian government to punish their enemies the democratic area of the country, carry out its brutal immigration agenda and make life a hell for People without school. Trump said on Monday that federal forces will work to eliminate “camps of homeless people from all our parks”, and that the discourages will not “be allowed to turn our capital into a moor so that the world sees it.”
One of Trump’s greatest regrets of his first mandate in the Oval office, according to the old and current Trump Council of Senior, is that he did not use military forces and other federal assets to take stronger energetic measures of what was finally triggered or 2020 in the sum, and as a rag with sumtion did, and the assumed of the sum deny, and as he assumed, and as he assume summer. Justice protests extended through the country, one of the president’s great ideas was to shoot the Black Lives Matter protesters near the White House. A reason why this did not happen is that its Secretary of Defense at that time was He is not in love with the idea.
Rolling stone reported In October 2024, Trump and his team have been planning an acquisition of the DC Police for the second term for a long time, regardless of the real level of street disturbances or crimes. The plot extends far beyond the capital of the nation.
In recent months, according to government officials and other sources with knowledge of the situation, administration staff and lawyers have created detailed plans and options for Trump to feed their desire to replicate and proliferate their Milanzed Strengths of Toerkednowns. The National Guard troops are already mobilizing in DC, and Trump has said in private, according to two family sources with the matter, that if he sees something that feels crosses his line (such as the threat of Ifhed, a great great great great big, with pleasure, orders greater numbers or troops to the capital of the nation, as he did in Los Angeles earlier this year.
Trump has insisted on administration officials that it is ridiculous that troops as the members of the National Guard are not allowed to carry out varosit forms of application of the national law, the sources add. The president and his administration to some extent have had their hands in this due to the Postse Commitatus law, which prohibits the use of the military for the domestic police, although that does not stop them from Actively exploring the ways to avoid law. “There are ways in which things were done, and so it will not always be as they should now or tomorrow,” says a senior official of the Trump administration. Rolling stone.
The superior administration official, as well as other Trump officials, point out that it is a priority of the thesis of the military deployment thesis, in Los Angeles, and now DC, in times of relative calm, are normalized in the US political culture. Trump has long believed that he should be able to the power of military forces in the American soil more commonly associated with authoritarian states. Now he has a government full of loyal ones that want to help him realize this goal. “He will make more of them,” says another Trump administration official, referring to sicming the military in deep blue cities, using crime and immigrants as justification. “Hey fiance Hey I would do thisAnd now you are following those promises. “
Administration figures are openly talking about the potential expansion of the use of federal forces to cities from all over the country. “You look at Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and New York – They Also Facing Record Numbers of Homicides and Violent Crime. this Plague of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing of this Plague of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing of this Playing De esta jugada de esta jugada de esta jugada de esta jugada de esta capital. “Es algo que creo que el presidente Trump would be shy. We will have to be attentive. “
The justification of Trump and his administration for its DC operation, that the homeless and violent crime in the capital of the nation has been uncontrolled, after the recent assault of a government efficiency department, Lacky and Elon Musk I protected Knowenn. Public data show that violent crime in the district, whose political leaders did not request any aid from Trump and whose residents and voters move it largely, have excluded it. It fell significantly After the peaks after pandemic in violence that occurred in urban and rural American communities. (The administration states that the crime data is false, because the official position of the government is that any credible economic data or other statistics that contradict Trump and the feelings of the Republican party Be purged and demonized.
Of course, there are real ways to help homeless people in DC and help protect residents in the helpless areas of the city. Trump and his administration are not interested in working to solve thesis problems. When asked Tuesday about addressing the fundamental causes of crime, Pirro mocking And he said that “she is not worried about why they commit crimes,” they only punish them when they do.
Addressing the fundamental causes would not include the shipment of the National Guard or federal agents for the Trump’s “shock and astonishment and astonishment show for the cameras, and the sources say that the advanced president of the show is regularly recorded with the way in which his Network Miludariet, Fox News. Right -wing media, legislatorsand Members of your administration I have been mobilizing this week to boost the president’s narrative that military action is needed to address the problem of DC crime, projecting the city as an infernal landscape of violent crimes where it is not safe to walk the streets.
“President Trump is saving the capital of our nation after the Democrats made him an absolute hell,” the Republican National Committee hysterically said in an email explosion to the media the Ion. “Residents are being beaten brutally, killed and lost to loved ones. DC residents do not feel safe, so President Trump will declare an emergency of the crime and mobilize the National Guard of DC.”
It is difficult to take seriously the rhetoric of Trump and his allies about an “emergency of crime” in DC since violent crime has been decreasing in the city. There is also the fact that Trump Forgave hundreds of his followers Who assaulted the Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those who assaulted the police.
None of this is the crime: it is about power, already differentiates from his first mandate, Trump now has a team around him without objection in using the entire force of the military to help obtain as much as possible of him.
