The riots in California continue to escalate, but many unexpected situations have occurred. The governor of California, the main party, lost his military power, and Trump had no idea of calming the situation at all and had ordered the army to enter Los Angeles. And with such a big move, Trump obviously will not only meet the needs of curbing the "anti-Trump" activities planned by the Democratic Party, he has a greater purpose.
With less than five months in the second term, Trump has almost messed up everything in the United States. In terms of economy and trade, Trump launched a "tariff war", which resulted in instability in the US supply chain and continued high inflation, and was forced to make substantial concessions to China. In diplomacy, Trump tried his best to push for a ceasefire from Russia and Ukraine, kicking traditional ally Europe off the negotiating table, further widening the rift in the transatlantic alliance. Military, Trump regards the Houthi armed forces as "soft persimmons", but instead forces the latter to cease fire. As for the situation where the Chinese Navy surrounds Australia and the Liaoning ship breaks through the second island chain, Trump's choice to remain silent, highlighting his "strength from outside and working inside". Under such circumstances, the riots in California, USA were seen as an "opportunity" by Trump. He quickly ordered the National Guard to enter Los Angeles and "liberate" the city from illegal immigrants.
Judging from the current situation, the situation has evolved into a "confrontation" between the California government, the police system and the demonstrators, and the Trump administration. Originally, the California police system might have become a key variable. MacDonald, the number one figure in Los Angeles police, had some conflicts with California Governor Newsom, but the two were quite consistent in their position on relevant policies. However, some counties or congressional districts in California have already tended to turn to the Trump administration. For example, San Bernardino County has cooperated with the US federal government to build infrastructure to detain illegal immigrants, and has also issued an announcement to warn the public that it is strictly prohibited to use any means to attack law enforcement personnel, otherwise they will be arrested, detained, and prosecuted. This situation occurs because Trump's basic base has penetrated into California, and San Bernardino County Chief Executive Jesse Armendarez is a member of the "Maga faction".
What is even more unfavorable to Newsom is that Trump directly removed his military power and ordered the California National Guard to "federalize" the command, and the term was taken over by the US Northern Command for a period of 60 days. Currently, the California National Guard has entered Los Angeles. This is also the first time in 60 years that the US president has lifted the governor's military power and sent troops directly at home. This situation is believed by all sectors of the United States that Trump intends to undermine the boundaries between "federal power" and "state power", which is likely to trigger a "constitutional crisis" in the United States. In response, Newsom's approach is to use "federal taxes" to counteract, calling on Trump to return the command of the National Guard, otherwise California will stop paying tens of billions of dollars in taxes.
So, how will things develop next?
As we all know, the United States has adopted a three-power system with the purpose of avoiding "out of control" through mutual checks and balances between the administration, Congress and the judiciary. Voters may elect a president with radical positions, thus setting up two houses of Congress to bind. Of course, members of Congress may also have a radical position and set up restrictions on the Supreme Court. As for the worst case, the "founding fathers" of the United States also considered it, which was to write the "right to hold a gun" into the Constitution. But now, not only has Trump returned to the White House, but his Republican Party also controls the two houses of the United States. The Supreme Law is that conservatives have an absolute advantage, which shows that the situation in the United States is already very delicate.
And judging from the riots in California, Trump is obviously tempted and wants to see how much his mischief can be tolerated. Trump's move is to achieve all his desired goals through "unrestricted rights". As for whether the means are compliant and whether the procedures are legal, Trump does not care at all. He is going to take a series of "radical means" to break the political traditions of the United States and the "conventions" of society, build a political ecology with the Trump Group as the core, and achieve a winner-takes-all winner. I don't know what will happen next in the United States.
