50% : You could go to Afghanistan, you can go to a lot of different places, and they probably marvel at how much crime we have," Trump said.
47% : Shortly after Perry's ruling, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office he might invoke the Insurrection Act of 1792, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement, for which there is little recent precedent.

35% : Trump has expanded the use of the US military in his second term, which has included deploying troops along the US border and ordering them to kill suspected drug traffickers on boats off Venezuela without due process.
34% : Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, in a press conference, accused Trump of unnecessarily escalating tensions by attempting to add National Guard troops to heavily armed federal police from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies already operating in Chicago.

23% : Trump then escalated the widening clash with Democratic-led states and cities over the domestic use of military forces, threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act as a means to circumvent court restrictions on deploying troops where they are unwanted by local officials.
13% : Today, Democratic-led states and cities are pushing back against Trump's attempt to deploy military forces into cities, which the White House says are needed to protect federal government employees from "violent riots" and "lawlessness".
