There was a time, not that long ago, that predicting Trump would deploy the military domestically was decried by some as TDS hyperbole.
 

Trump rebukes Putin for testing new missiles, tells him to end the war​

Russia tested a nuclear-powered cruise missile that it said is capable of traveling thousands of miles. Trump countered that there is a U.S. nuclear submarine off Russia’s coast.


“… Russia on Sunday announced a successful test of a nuclear-powered cruise missile called Burevestnik, which Russia says can carry a nuclear warhead and travel for more than 8,000 miles. Russian President Vladimir Putin, dressed in military fatigues, hailed it as “a unique product, unlike anything else in the world.”

When asked by journalists on Air Force One whether he saw the test as nuclear saber rattling, Trump said the United States had a nuclear submarine right off Russia’s coast and it didn’t need to travel 8,000 miles.

“I don’t think it’s an appropriate thing for Putin to be saying either, by the way. You ought to get the war ended. A war that should have taken one week is now in its soon-to-be fourth year. That’s what you ought to do instead of testing missiles,” he said.

… Russia’s Skyfall cruise missile, as it is known in the U.S., has been under development for several years and has had a number of failed tests. Experts have said it is more a provocation than a major advance in military technology. Putin unveiled six “invincible” nuclear missiles in March 2018, including Burevestnik.…”

“… Trump’s lawyers argued in the filing Monday that the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity, issued more than a month after a New York jury convicted Trump in the hush money case, meant prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office should have been precluded from using evidence connected to Trump’s “official acts” as president during his first term.

That evidence, his lawyers wrote, included testimony about conversations between Trump and Hope Hicks, who was then the White House communications director, as well as Trump’s social media posts.

Late last year, the trial judge, Justice Juan Merchan, rejected the notion that the immunity ruling applied to the evidence used in the case, finding that evidence at issue related not to Trump’s official acts, but instead to his private conduct — specifically, his effort to conceal a hush money payment to Daniels.…”
