I’ve been thinking about this too. The Posse Comitatus Act puts the military in a legal bind. What I’m hoping to see is the Marines (or whomever Trump tries to use) simply sit down and say something like “hell no”.

This may be Trump seeing if the military will follow his orders. It’s the big remaining question: Will they follow their oath to the constitution, will they defy Trump or will the military splinter into factions.
So many things hinge on this. This is the thin edge of the wedge for things like invading NATO countries like Canada or Greenland.

“This may be Trump seeing if the military will follow his orders.”
Exactly. If something terrible happens, I’d like to see the police come and arrest Trump.
