"President Donald Trump and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker are each the type of foe the other loves to hate," writes Stephen Collinson. "On one level, their escalating showdown over the president's threat to send the National Guard onto the streets of Chicago is a convenient political feud." | Analysis

The point is Trump is violating the letter and intent of the law and Constitution. Trump has no business sending in troops/National Guard in without a clear need or invitation by a Governor. A Governor should fight back and the military and National Guard should challenge unlawful orders.

"Convenient political feud" is what @cnn.com is taking away from trump occupying Democratic cities?!?!? You are no longer a serious or credible news outlet, but you already know that.

Are you seriously going to "both sides" the threat of forced military occupation? Are you actually trying to vilify and shame leaders for standing against it? You're the ones who should be ashamed for your lack of courage and integrity in the face of what is now open authoritarianism. Grow a spine.
