Trump's Risky Move: Using the Insurrection Act

Donald Trump has been talking about using the Insurrection Act. This is a law from 1807. It lets the president send in the military to stop riots or rebellion. But experts say there is no real rebellion happening. Instead, there are small protests against Trump's immigration policies. Michael Wolff, who has written about Trump, thinks the president is not really worried about the details. He believes Trump just wants more drama and conflict. Wolff imagines Trump thinking, "Let's make this bigger. We can take over Minneapolis. It will give us more power. "But using the Insurrection Act is not simple. It would mean sending in troops and dealing with the costs and possible backlash. Wolff hopes someone in the White House is thinking about these things. He says Trump only cares about the drama and attention. Trump might also be trying to distract from other bad news. For example, the killing of a woman named Good. Normally, a president would try to fix the problem and find who is to blame. But Trump does the opposite. He doubles down and makes the situation more dramatic. The White House did not agree with Wolff's views. They called him a liar and said he has a problem with Trump. They also said he makes up stories.
