1) They aren't organized for national deployments of guard and troops; the weekend military meeting at Camp David not withstanding. There is a lot to talk about with the military: rooting out woke, belligerating against Iran, pumping weapons into Israel, squeezing Ukraine, resetting military to deal with drones, Kegsbreath "leadership", Big Beautiful? Parade, ....

2) The public won't stand for it. No Kings day is going to have a lot of families out, some children, very different from confrontations with ICE which is at the root of the LA unrest.

3) tRump won't want news outside DC interfering with what he hopes is media dominance with his ~~masturb~~ masterful birthday bash.
