Trump Threatens to Invoke Insurrection Act, Take ‘Unquestioned Power’ Following No Kings Protests
Trump claimed that if he invokes the Insurrection Act, “there are no more court cases, there is no more anything.”
Don’t forget, I can use the Insurrection Act,” Trump said in a Fox News interview Sunday morning. “Fifty percent of the presidents almost have used that. And that’s unquestioned power. I choose not to.”
“I’d rather do this,” he said, referring to his deployment of the National Guard to American cities, including Chicago, Portland, and now San Francisco, which he announced as his next target last week. “But I’m met constantly by fake politicians, politicians that think that they—you know, it’s not a part of the radical left movement to have safety. These cities have to be safe.”
