U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to use the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy military forces, in Minnesota amid escalating tension over a deployment of federal agents in the state’s most populous city, which has become the focus of daily clashes.
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Let’s see. We’ve got: ‘use military on Venezuela’, ‘use military on American allies’, ‘use military on Americans.’
Yeah, that all seems like something the winner of the FIFA peace prize would do.
Don’t forget that we’re going to ‘use the military on Iran’ because they are… um, cracking down on protesters.
But the prize was made of chocolate, so it’s only peace until it’s completely gone. Then it’s back to authoritarianism.
