"If (Trump) was to be the commander-in-chief again, everything changes " the Supreme Court has given him immunity," Manner said.

"And the threshold for turning the National Guard into his personal police force is quite low."

Manner went on:

"As long as (Trump) has a consenting governor, he can authorize the funds to pay them as the commander-in-chief. And he can use the National Guard, almost in any way that he wants.
