The Posse Comitatus act prevents the military from being used as police, under certain circumstances. Bush sent the military into Los Angles to stop the Rodney King riots. Guess you don’t remember.

Bush had to invoke the Insurrection Act, a different law, in order to be able to do so. Once again, even Presidents have to adhere to the law.

Trump sent in the national guard to stop riots himself.

The National Guard’s mission is domestic emergencies, unlike the US military. Apparently this is beyond your understanding of the differences.

The military could be sent to the border to stop an invasion.

Only if a National Emergency or Insurrection Act is invoked. That is the law, that even Presidents MUST follow.

Trump did not have to; he built a wall.

Now you’re just flagrantly abusing the truth for kicks. It’s why guys like you like Trump so much.

Oh, so the cat is out of the bag. You hate Trump. I suppose you would like to see him go to prison, so that the effeminate DeSantis could priss around the White House.
