The chaos of Trump's first month in office is no accident. This gutting of the federal government and impounding of Congressionally allocated funds was laid out years ago by Russell Vought, Trump's OMB director and Project 2025 architect. Todd Beeton looked at his core beliefs for The Big Picture.

He can try, but it won't work. First, this country is way too big with too many people in it willing to bear arms for marshal law to work effectively. Also, not enough manpower for it. Second, many in the military have stated they will NOT go along with unlawful orders that target citizens.
