Link to tweet
"Everybody knows exactly what happened and what I do is I authorize my military. We have the greatest military in the world and they've done their job as usual. So, we have given them total authorization," Trump said after meeting with first responders at the White House on Thursday.
Clearly this twit is an aspiring dictator and the proof keeps dripping out. Trump has no recognition or respect for the institutions he must work in. And this may be the Mother of All Freudian Slips, especially coming from draft-dodging President Bone Spurs.

It is his military! If anyone really thinks that the US military is going to do anything other then follow the orders of the Commander in Chief, I heard the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale, again!
The uniformed personnel of the United States will round up and arrest Americans, if those are the orders they receive...they will execute American citizens, if told to do so!

We did it in 1776, we can do it again. We will take a sizable portion of the military with us if it comes to "push and shove".
Assymetric warfare.
