Warning: Intel Analyst Says Trump Could Provoke American Civil War

The President's unprecedented tyranny

In a dramatic escalation that has sent shockwaves throughout Washington, D.C., Donald Trump has officially seized control of the city’s Metropolitan Police Department and deployed federal forces and 800 National Guardsmen.

Prominent intelligence analyst and commentator Malcolm Nance warns this could be a "precipitating event of the start of an American civil war."

Nance asserts that Trump's actions, purportedly aimed at curbing crime and homelessness, are a thinly veiled attempt to assert dominance over the nation's capital, a city he describes as "overwhelmingly predominant black" and "overwhelmingly liberal."

Expert Warnings And Historical Parallels

Nance, a former United States Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer and a career counterterrorism and intelligence officer, views Trump's actions as a dangerous "nationalization of a generally civic affair."

He highlights that D.C. already has its own police force, which had already apprehended two individuals involved in the Dupont Circle assault, arguing that this incident involving "one white man" is being used as a pretext to "lay siege" to the city.

Nance explicitly states this is an effort to "cleanse it of what we really know is his hatred of black people" and likens it to a "white boy Kristallnacht."

Having lived in Washington, D.C. for over 15 years and served as an intelligence and security contractor in places like Iraq, Nance describes claims of a crime emergency as a "racist foghorn to the MAGA base," dismissing any comparison of D.C. to a place like Baghdad, which he says was "filled with suicide bombers, sectarian murders, kidnappings, and summary executions."

Drawing a chilling historical parallel, Nance compares Trump's intent to occupy D.C. and federalize its police to King George III’s "Intolerable Acts of 1774", which involved the dissolution of the Massachusetts state assembly and the occupation of Boston by British troops, ultimately setting the stage for the American Revolution.

He notes that this situation is rapidly "spinning out of control" and characterizes Trump as a "mentally incapacitated octogenarian white supremacist" who is "intent on using overwhelming power to change America into a MAGA wet dream." Nance warns that this could lead to a physical confrontation with "urban dwellers," a term he identifies as "white supremacist talk for African-Americans."

Vance recalls that nearly four years ago, Trump ordered the National Guard and federal police to crack down on Black Lives Matter protesters in D.C., claiming they refused his order to shoot civilians at that time.

Nance explicitly states that this could give Trump "a second bite at the apple to turn the National Guard into a personal protection force, and quite possibly order them to kill civilians." He anticipates the involvement of other federal agencies like ICE.

Disputed Justifications And Local Opposition

Trump's stated justifications for the takeover have been met with strong opposition and factual rebuttals from D.C. officials and independent data.

Mayor Muriel Bowser has vehemently rejected Trump's claims, emphasizing that the city's crime statistics do not support a "crime emergency."

Brian Schwalb, the elected Attorney General of the District of Columbia, called the administration's actions to take control of policing the city "unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful."

• Crime Statistics: Official crime statistics from the city's Metropolitan Police Department show that violent crime in D.C. reached 30-year lows last year and has continued to fall this year, with a 26% decrease in violent crime year-on-year.

• Homelessness: Local community groups working with homeless people, such as So Others Might Eat (SOME), report that homelessness has actually seen progress in recent years, with a nearly 20% decrease for individuals and a 43% decrease for families in D.C. compared to five years ago.

• Legal Authority: Mayor Bowser has pointed out that D.C.'s "home rule" policy dictates that the President's authority to take control of the city's police is limited to 30 days under statute and only if certain conditions are met, none of which she believes currently exist.

Conclusion

Nance’s grave assessment underscores the potential for this federal takeover to escalate tensions significantly. He urges immediate and massive protest, emphasizing that if citizens "let this slide, we will be singing surrender."
