Well, this one-word post from President Trump early this morning seems pretty huge:
It may have only been one word, but it included four exclamation marks. I can’t decide which is more encouraging, the prospect of using the military to help process millions of deportations, or the irony that Trump will declare a national state of emergency and use emergency executive authority to do it.
In other words: the Democrats are about to be hoisted on their “state of emergency” petard. Prepare for Democrats to suddenly discover a meaningful definition of the word, “emergency.”
On Saturday, Newsweek rounded up various rumors, ranging from the practical to the absurd, about how Trump might use the military to help end America’s immigration nightmare, in an article headlined, “Trump’s military threats alarm Democrats; GOP shrugs.”
Many folks think Trump will deploy the military on the border — something he tried to do in his first term, but was stymied by woke generals who came up with a new reason why it wouldn’t work every time Trump turned around. But, by all accounts, the Pentagon’s top brass should expect a few personnel changes shortly after Inauguration Day. On the more ridiculous end of the rumor spectrum, Newsweek quoted Democrats claiming Trump intends to invade Mexico. Hasta la burrito, amigo!
