Trump expands cities targeted for possible military deployment to Baltimore in a spat with governor

[Jilly_in_VA]

President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened to expand his military deployments to more Democratic-led cities, responding to an offer by Maryland’s governor to join him in a tour of Baltimore by saying he might instead “send in the ‘troops.’”

Last week, Trump said he was considering Chicago and New York for troop deployments similar to what he has unleashed on the nation’s capital, where thousands of National Guard and federal law enforcement officers are patrolling the streets.

Trump made the threat to Baltimore in a spat with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat who has criticized Trump’s unprecedented flex of federal power aimed at combatting crime and homelessness in Washington. Moore last week invited Trump to visit his state to discuss public safety and walk the streets.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said Moore asked “in a rather nasty and provocative tone,” and then raised the specter of repeating the National Guard deployment he made in Los Angeles over the objections of California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom.

He is just itching to start a civil war, isn't he? Moore needs to clap back the way Pritzker has.

We don't need no steenkin' Constitution! All I need to do is declare a state of emergency!---saith the orange maniac.

2. They are going to try to see how much they can get away with, then delay delay delay the courts

I can hardly believe my eyes and ears as we see the President of the United States declaring War on Democratic cities.

So hard to get through each day knowing how much more time he has in the office. Even if he had a heart attack and dies, JD is not any better, possibly even worse. The Oligarchs behind him frighten me with their evil greed.

He wants civil war.
