Of course a plain reading of the Constitution and precedent says Trump can't use the military as domestic law enforcement. But the right isn't into plain readings of the Constitution these days. ICYMI Philip Allen Lacovara:
The Founders Would Abhor Trump’s Domestic Deployments

How Looming US Government Shutdowns Became Routine
Looming federal government shutdowns have become almost routine in Washington.
