Since June 2025, the diabolical Trumpf junta has deployed Army National Guard personnel to six cities -- Los Angeles, Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis TN, Portland OR, and Washington DC"wasting $496m of taxpayer money.
The continued deployment of the National Guard at its current size as of the end of 2025 would cost $93m per month, while deploying 1,000 National Guard troops to a city in 2026 would cost between $18 million to $21 million per month, depending on the city's cost of living, the CBO reports.

On 26 Nov 2025, just a few blocks from the White House, a lunatic opened fire on two West Virginia Army National Guard Soldiers, killing one and critically wounding the other.
In all of the tumult and riots of the 1960s when US Army National Guard Soldiers were deployed to restore order in Los Angeles, Detroit, Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, and Birmingham, there are no reports of any Soldiers being killed or wounded.
Besides trying to intimidate the American population with this idiotic military deployment of US Soldiers on American soil, this colossal waste of money could be better spent in so many other ways to benefit the American people. Dummkopf Trumpf's profligate nature and wasteful policies are simply destroying the American economy while enriching the oligarchs, White House insiders, and military contractors.
Worst. President. Ever.
And why might he be doing that?

252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

Once declared, martial law could also be declared, removing habeas corpus and allowing military tribunals to take the place of duly elected judges. With Turnip, anyone not in full fledged favor of his demands, could well be put in front of such a tribunal. You have only to look as far as the revenge cases against those who worked on things like his impeachment, or those who worked on gathering evidence for a trial, such as Jack Smith, or those who have gathered attention by publicly disclaiming him in a national setting. Further, with martial law, it could be demanded that all citizens remain with in their homes as a curfew to prevent further public unrest.
By the time that tribunals were to be set up you can be sure, only Turnip supporting officers would be allowed to be part of such a tribunal.
