WASHINGTON—President Trump’s response to the violent turns at some racial-justice protests in U.S. cities earlier this month has ushered in the most acute test of civil-military relations in decades.
Mr. Trump’s consideration of deploying active-duty troops to impose order—though ultimately not acted upon—drew objections from Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
This tweet is Trumpian in it's word-saladness. 'Trumps response to violent turns at some racial justice protests in U.S. cities have ushered in the most acute test of civil military relations in decades.' Good lawdy wsj.

Please. If these were lawful gun owners protesting gun rights, the media would call them terrorists and demand military intervention.

Mr. President don't let the left pull you into their mess. They allowed it, let them fix it.
It's funny that a coward who worked hard at not serving in the military wants to use them for everything.
Happened under Obama too -but nobody cared
Maybe left-wing mares should take control of their cities instead of blaming it on President Trump! FKNIDIOTS
White House ties with Military? This isn’t a business relationship! He’s the Commander in Chief!!!Listen to him or move on!
Why have we been export jobs importing cheap goods for 30 years alowing a widening qealth gap where Black workers make 33% less than White workers? What have DEMs done with 30 years? How many kids have you killed with Middle East troop deployments?

The armed forces recognize a fascist when they see one.
Ummmm well he IS the Commander in Chief ....... sooo realDonaldTrump ObamaGate

Great
Any of these generals who love themselves so much they will not follow potus orders to defend federal facilities need to be re-assigned. And they are being disloyal to their country. No doubt they'd expect ALL of their own orders to be followed, though.
When business owners or other people try to rightfully defend their rights against the domestic terrorists or speak out against this insanity then they are the ones who get punished. How is this country a Democracy any more. What a disgrace this country is becoming.
Shouldn't be a problem to use the military in Seattle since that is not America..lol
Most politicians in this country are money hungry and power hungry cowards not fit to serve in office. They are sitting or staying silent and appeasing the domestic terrorists who trash this country. The Politicians just care about votes and not the well being of the country.
And the poor, demented old fraud in charge is coming apart at the seams.
It’s simple. The oath is to the Constituion. The military knows that. Trump does not. UnfitForOffice
FakeNews attempting to invent a story. The Administration has always supported peaceful protests...
Defend against threats from terrorists, at home or abroad.
Free speech, protest: YES. Riot, Violence, Carnage: NO. Take em down!
