He committed was crimes in his first term. Ordering an assassination of an islamism general using a diplomatic meeting to lure him out... Is very explicitly a war crime.

Buddy if the law mattered even one fucking iota trump himself would be buried under the prison.

whenever an EO gets challenged or struck down, Trump figures out a way to get rid of the problem or go around it. the only thing the law is doing is showing him vulnerabilities to exploit. state injunctions are legally being ignored thanks to SCOTUS, so.. Trump does not have to listen to judges.

Exactly, he is escalating bc he is feeling pressure. He is getting worried about the midterms. That is not to say that the law will surely prevail in the end, but just to point out that he wouldn't even be bothering to test the waters with threats of "maybe your city is next" if he didn't believe he would see pushback.

He's already sent and recalled much of the military in L.A., so what tf is he even talking about? Floating the idea of sending them again only to then recall them again?

D.C. has gained autonomy as a city, but keep in mind it was already unique compared to Chicago, LA, and NY bc it's already a federal district. When he called for a "federal takeover" a few days ago, he meant stripping the city of its autonomy in terms of taking the power from the mayor.

When he tried to take LA the first time, he experienced pushback from both city and state governments. Military morale was reportedly extremely low, he made them sleep on the floor bc he didn't really have any kind of a plan other than a show of force. In the end, he basically succeeded in a public show of wasting money and resources for absolutely nothing.

Now what? He's going to send in the troops again? Surely they'll get the job done the second time around.
