The senior administration official, as well as other Trump officials, note that it is a priority of the president’s that these kinds of military deployments — in L.A., and now D.C., in times of relative calm — become normalized in American political culture.

He now has a government stacked full of loyalists who want to help him realize this goal. “He’s gonna do more of them,” another Trump administration official says, referring to siccing the military on deep-blue cities, using crime and immigrants as justification. “He promised he would do this, and now he’s following through on those promises.”
