Trump Tests WAR POWERS as He DECLARES WAR on American Cities - Legal AF
In this episode of Court of History, Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz are joined by Congressman Jason Crow — former Army Ranger and decorated veteran — to expose Donald Trump’s latest power play.
Trump is openly pushing to use American cities as “training grounds” for the military, a move experts warn violates the Posse Comitatus Act and echoes authoritarian regimes. Crow breaks down the unprecedented meeting with top military brass, where Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth disrespected commanders and laid out plans that could pit Americans against one another. - 10/02/2025.
