The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

President Trump promised to bring your family's costs down on day one, but his reckless tariffs keep driving prices up and up. He needs to get #Trumpflation under control, because hardworking families cannot afford his hidden tariff taxes on every day goods.
