President-elect Trump appears to be unfamiliar with the limits placed on the CIA’s domestic involvement andon the limits placed on the US military’s domestic involvement.He has called for CIA involvement in his response to the New Orleans terrorist attack and for the military’s involvement to close the border with Mexico.
These are first steps toward a domestic Gestapo and a government resting on military force, two developments inconsistent with making America great again.
Who is pumping these unAmerican ideas into Trump’s thoughts?
Many will fall for the argument that desperate times call for desperate measures.How ironic if instead of renewing America, the Trump regime aids and abets the tyranny rising from the erosion of the Constitution’s authority.
