I think some in this thread are forgetting that Trump has already put his private army into use on multiple occasions. The first instance was during the protests in DC, uniformed thugs with no identifying patches or name tags. Likely mostly drawn for DHS, but who knows for sure. Next was Portland, and I won't be surprised if we see them on the streets a few more times before November as Trump descends further into authoritarianism. What happens if Trump puts them between himself and the Secret Service is anyones guess, but I suspect it will involve violence. Which side the actual military will back is another unknown, but these violent means have violent ends.
