Donald Trump is once again talking about sending federal troops into American cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco — even though courts already said his last attempt was illegal and made things worse.
Yes, the same plan.
The same mess.
The same approach.
He’s not stepping back — he’s pushing harder.
Last time Trump sent troops into Los Angeles, it happened after heavy immigration raids that split families, hurt local businesses, and made communities feel unsafe.
Protests followed — and instead of calming things down, Trump made it worse by sending thousands of troops in.
A federal judge stopped it.
Now?
He wants to do it again.
At a Cabinet meeting today, Trump openly said he wants troops to “come in and stop the crime” in cities led by Democrats — saying federal forces can do what local leaders can’t.
But local leaders remember what really happened.
Economic harm.
Fear in the community.
And a military presence that made things worse — not better.
Even the courts agreed, saying the federal takeover of California’s National Guard went too far.
And yet, Trump is now attacking those same judges for stopping him.
This isn’t about safety.
It’s about control. Because sending troops into American cities without local leaders’ consent isn’t normal — it’s a big step toward expanding federal power, which raises serious concerns about the Constitution and civil rights.
And here’s the truth: crime is already going down in places like San Francisco without federal help.
But facts don’t matter.
The point is power. And Trump is making it clear he’s ready to go beyond the limits — again.
If only he had slept through this Cabinet meeting, like he’s done at so many others.
