Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly considering the use of the Insurrection Act to deploy the military as domestic law enforcement if he were to be re-elected. This idea has been discussed by right-wing think tanks under the name “Project 2025,” according to insiders and internal communications obtained by The Washington Post. The drafting of these plans has been unofficially outsourced to these think tanks. When questioned, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung stated that Trump’s focus is on winning the primary election and defeating Joe Biden. Cheung also emphasized Trump’s commitment to law and order and protecting the Constitution.
According to The Washington Post, Trump has privately expressed his desire to utilize the Justice Department to target his adversaries, including former administration members such as Bill Barr and Gen. Mark Milley. These remarks have been disclosed by individuals who have spoken with the President. The potential implementation of the Insurrection Act and the use of the Justice Department to pursue his enemies highlight Trump’s anticipation of public unrest in the event of his re-election.
