Again, it would fail again.
That's never stopped him before.
And yet backed out of Cali when the courts have told him so.
The NG in DC ultimately just did trash collection.
And in Chicago he had the NG stay in barracks before sending them home due to the courts ruling against him.
For a guy that says he will use military force he seems to hold back and let the protest movements win out in the end
That's just because his end goal of having them mow down the protesters still isn't something that can be done yet without everyone turning against it.
Meanwhile has the Green Shirts out and about with the tacit approval in doing just that (yes I know no actual massacre has happened by ICE, but given how the Administration treats their Mass Deportation Efforts I highly doubt they are waiting for the winds to turn in their approval.)
And by the time the courts had decided that he would have arrested tens of thousands and whisked them away to ICE blacksites. Maybe one or two would get freed due to a media storm, but his administration would continue to hound and harass those few.
Its very obvious the courts don’t stop Trumps regime, and he does whatever fickle thing he wants at the time and talks shit the other 99%.
Does whatever he wants and doesn’t get the results he wants.
You are correct in thousands already detained and deported. But Trump’s whole Mass Deportation is to remove all non-citizens (and citizens that are not subservient while we are at it.) but at best could only get what 10% of the undocumented population?
TBC 10% is still a lot (even just one is bad.) but it’s not the grand vision Trump boasts doing.
Polls. I think it's polls. He doesn't care about losing legal battles, but he is afraid of what this action will do to him in the polls.
And yet still doing stuff that makes him look bad in the polls anyways. Unless I missed he finally had a moment out of the red while still playing Supreme Leader
My impression is that he is totally out of touch with reality. He thinks something will play well, and then is completely surprised that people hate him for it. Like, he got elected because he was going to be tough on immigration, how dare people complain because he's tough on immigration? Look, he's even got a woman ---murdered--- fatally shot while she was Standing In The Way, that's gotta count for something, right? Please, clap!
Probably worse. It would end in a civil war.

I think the Jan 6 attack was a better case to justify the Insurrection Act, since you know they actually violently forced their way into a government building with malice intent.
Minneapolis is mostly protesting and peaceful noncompliance. I haven't heard anything about riots or attacks carried out on law enforcement.
Better perhaps but still a weak case. The j6 riot was a singular event that was handled by normal law enforcement. The insurrection act in my opinion shouldn't exist but to the extent that it has a purpose it's for like civil wars or other ongoing situations where the feds have lost control over entire regions for a period of time.
Like if a gang or something somehow took over an entire city and forced the local government out.
I don't think law enforcement is on-scene. It's just ICE, their victims, and people on-scene to witness and chastise the aggressors. No law enforcement there -- I hear it's mainly proud boys and the like.

He wants MN to capitulate just enough so he can use the Insurrection Act to look like a strong man.
We all know he is a fucking coward, weak, pathetic, a shitstain of a human being. Give him hell, MN!
Hes just teasing it. Its too early to justify canceling elections with it.
He going wait until November
Probably some time early to mid October. Maybe throw some false flag type deal. It cant be just days before. That's too on the nose.
Yup. This is to get us used to the prospect.
"Somehow you people still haven't taken the bait so we have to back away from that threat for a minute."
"We're gonna try threatening your elected leaders with obstruction, maybe dox a few more of our own agents by total accident, see if we can find any more CIA trained child soldiers in a tight spot looking for work, and then keep poking the bear while we circle back around."
