President Trump early Tuesday threatened to send more troops to cities amid his crackdown on crime, telling U.S. service members in Japan that some places may need “more than the National Guard.”

“We have cities in trouble. We can’t have cities that have trouble,” Trump said, speaking to troops on the USS George Washington at the Yokosuka Naval Base. “We’re sending in the National Guard and we need more than the National Guard.”

“We’ll send more than the National Guard, because we’re going to have safe cities,” he continued. “We’re not going to have people killed in our cities. And whether people like that or not, that’s what we’re doing.”

Trump Makes Stunning Claim He Can Send ‘The Navy’ to US Cities: ‘Do Whatever I Want!’

KATIE ROGERS: What did you say last night when you said you were prepared to send more than the National Guard into American cities?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Sure, I would do that if it was necessary. You know, if it were necessary, I’d do that.

But it hasn’t been necessary. We’re doing a great job without that. But yeah, if it was necessarily.

As you know, I’m allowed to do that…

KATIE ROGERS: Do you mean other branches of the military you would send in? If it were,.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Who are you with?

KATIE ROGERS: The New York Times.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: That’s very good, very good. Well, if you write it correctly, I’ll give you the answer. But, you know, if I want to enact a certain act, I’m allowed to do it routinely.

And other, about 50 percent of presidents have used that, as you know. And I’d be allowed to whatever I want.

But we haven’t chosen to do that because we’re very well, we’re doing very well without it.

But I’d allowed to that, you understand, that the courts wouldn’t get involved, nobody would get involved.

And I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, I could save, send anybody I wanted. But I haven’t done that because we’re doing so well without it.

But let's never mention that trump thinks he's a king or dictator.

I don't think he's allowed to do that,,, Not at all.

The Posse Comitatus Act, enacted in 1878

he would have to have, if I've read it correctly, an Act of Congress in order to use the Army or Air Force.

Give that he controls congress, I suppose he could actually do it. How much you wanna bet they would use the Nuclear Option in the Senate to do this.. But they won't use it to open the Government back up.

I'm convinced they don't want it open

I'm not sure why anyone would think after all he's done thus far that he cares about the law, the constitution or addressing congress about permission to do anything.
