This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.
Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda.

FIFA and the IOC should start making noises now about moving the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. If other countries cannot send their athletes & fans into the US without fear for their safety, we are not fit to host international sporting events.
Heard multiple reports of Canadians being asked at US custom desks in 🇨🇦 airports what they think of the current USA administration. Those who responded w mild comments like "glad it is not the same here" were refused entry and banned from entering the 🇺🇸 for 5 years.

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.
