Trump’s LA Stunt: Using the National Guard as Political Bait

Hawk dissects the disturbing developments around Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles. Drawing from Tom Nichols' Atlantic article “Trump is Using the National Guard as Bait”, Hawk explores how Trump is allegedly provoking confrontation as a pretext for authoritarian crackdowns.

With clarity and biting commentary, Hawk discusses the implications of Trump’s latest move: bypassing constitutional norms, militarizing domestic policy, and sending a clear message that chaos benefits his political strategy. From violating the Posse Comitatus Act to using National Guard forces as political pawns, Hawk lays out a sobering portrait of executive overreach.

This episode is essential viewing for anyone concerned about democracy, civil-military relations, and the calculated steps toward authoritarianism. Trump’s National Guard stunt isn't about public safety—it's about optics, dominance, and distraction. Hawk unpacks why silence in the streets might be the loudest response.
