Trump claims 'unquestioned power' to deploy troops to San Francisco under Insurrection Act

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump said he has "unquestioned power" to deploy the National Guard and reaffirmed that San Francisco will be the next city to face federal intervention.

In an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," Trump floated invoking the Insurrection Act - a centuries-old law that allows presidents to deploy troops on U.S. soil.

"Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act," he said. "Fifty percent of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power. I choose not to, but I'm met constantly by fake politicians, politicians that think that they - you know, it's not a part of the radical left movement to have safety. … These cities have to be safe." Only about one-fourth of presidents have invoked the act.

Trump told host Maria Bartiromo that San Francisco is next, setting up another potential showdown with Democratic leaders over presidential authority and local control.

Anytime the insurrection act was used there were real emergencies not political disagreements.

3. I counted 15 presidents who invoked it

Proves that Trump is a total dumbass when it comes to math.

6. Looks like the Act was invoked in response to white supremacist lawlessness more than anything else.

7. Who's really running this country - Donald Trump or Fox News?

No, he doesn't have unquestioned power. This isn't North Korea.

9. If/When...

He does that, the military brass should act against him.

[Justice matters.]

10. When will they see he craves for any sign of a violent rebellion?

King pedofelon doesn't care about "peaceful protests" as that is not what he wants.

When will they realize that he's destroying the country bit by bit to install himself as a dictatorial king?

Heck, he provokes a violent rebellion because he wants to order THEM to go crush it by invoking the Insurrection Act.

When will they realize he literally shits on taxpayers?

11. Hopefully...

Last weekend. The largest protest in our history was nonviolent and I'm sure that was noticed by those who would be ordered to fuck us up... when it's not their job, ever.

This needs to be over and real fucking soon.

12. The ICEstapo wants to try out their new toys.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal government contracting data by Popular Information. Records from the Federal Procurement Data System reveal that ICE has increased spending on “small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing” by 700% compared to 2024 levels.

New spending in the small arms category from January 20, 2025, the day Trump was inaugurated, through October 18, totaled $71,515,762. Most of the spending was on guns and armor, but there have also been significant purchases of chemical weapons and “guided missile warheads and explosive components.”
