In a dramatic turn from his first term, President Trump has embraced a militarized approach to governance. He deployed military forces in Los Angeles to address protests against his immigration policy, showcased troops at a rally, and planned a military parade. This behavior stands in stark contrast to his previous term when he faced resistance from military leadership on similar displays. The current ambiance suggests a nation divided, with Trump's rhetoric framing the situation as one of near civil war, emphasizing a newfound assertiveness in his presidency.
Trump’s recent actions represent the starkest contrast to his first term, reflecting a growing militarization of his presidency, unprecedented in its approach toward political dissent.
At the core of Trump's strongman display is a narrative of America being on the brink of civil war, using the military to reinforce this rhetoric.
