(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secy of #Defense, in coordination with the #AttorneyGeneral, shall determine how #military & #NationalSecurity assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, & personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.

#Trump also ordered #PeteHegseth & #PamBondi to “determine how #military & #NationalSecurity assets” & personnel “can most effectively be utilized” to prevent crime:

§4 Using National Security Assets for Law & Order. (a) Within 90 days…,the AG & the Secy of Defense, in consultation w/the Secy of DHS & the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military & national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State & local law enforcement.

In late Jan, #Trump wrote online, “I LOVE $TRUMP!!” In March, adopting the writing style of a tween, Trump published a follow-up item that read, “I LOVE $TRUMP — SO COOL!!! The Greatest of them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

But last week, the endeavor reached a new level: A website promoting one of the president’s #crypto offerings launched a contest of sorts, in which those who purchased his #MemeCoin would have a chance to win special #access to Trump.

What was to stop a foreign government, eager to bribe the American president, from quietly dumping money into #Trump’s #crypto project, effectively making direct payments to the president w/o public disclosure? Nothing.

The day after being sworn into office, Trump continued to use his social media platform to promote his controversial #MemeCoin. In the weeks that followed, his efforts continued.

In case anyone needs a refresher as to how we arrived at this point, the trouble began in earnest in January. With just 3 days remaining before his presidential inauguration, #Trump found time to launch one last post-election #grift: Without explanation or defense, the #Republican & his family started selling a #cryptocurrency token.

#Trump & his allies have raked in nearly $900k in trading fees over the past two days from the president’s $TRUMP #cryptocurrency token, acc/to Chainalysis, a blockchain data company. The surge came after a Wednesday announcement in which the top 220 holders of the token were promised dinner w/the president.

When pressed to justify their efforts, the #GOP’s #impeachment proponents pointed to an informant who brought bribery allegations to the attention of the FBI. That same informant was ultimately sent to prison — because he lied to the FBI about Biden.

That said, if there are still ofcls looking for a burgeoning controversy surrounding a president & the potential for… #bribes, do I have a story for them.…

Homan insisted that the #Trump admin doesn’t “deport US #citizen #children,” emphasizing instead that the mothers may have wanted to take the children w/them when facing #deportation. If someone chooses to come to the US without the proper documentation & have a child, Homan said, “that’s on you, that’s not on this administration.” Having a child in the United States “is not a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he added.

Speaking to CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Homan said Sunday that he’s not aware of any specifics in the case of the 4-yr-old citizen w/ #cancer, but he dismissed the use of the word “deported” to describe the removal of the American children from the country.

“No #UScitizen child was deported,” Homan said. “Deported means ordered by an immigration judge.”
