Levar Stoney, the Democratic mayor of Richmond, Virginia, expressed concern about the difficulty of resisting a president with vast powers, stating, "It's very difficult to autocrat-proof your city... mayors are working in coalition to ensure they can be a backstop against these divisive policies." This highlights the unease among Democratic leaders as they prepare for potential federal overreach.
Trump's threats to use military force against cities run by Democrats are part of a broader strategy, as he stated, "In cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order, I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the national guard until safety is restored." This reflects his aggressive stance on governance.
