Trump's Threat to Use Air Force and Navy in U.S. Cities
President Donald Trump has claimed he could send the Navy, Air Force, and Marines into U.S. cities to do "whatever I want" and the courts would not stop him.
"If I want to enact a certain Act, I'm allowed to do it... And the courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would get involved, and I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. I could send anybody I wanted."
Trump's comments sparked widespread criticism that he was trying to play out a "dictator fantasy" as tensions escalate over the administration's deployment of the National Guard.
Trump warned that he could "routinely" invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass the legal system if he wanted to use all arms of the military against his own citizens.
