Shoot down a civilian plane. Claim it carried drug cartel members and human traffickers.

Who will stop Trump or bring him to justice? No one.

I disagree on the implementation.
We now know the US military will obey these kind of orders from the Trump Crime Syndicate.

Trump directly threatened the US generals with loss of rank, pension, and court martial.

They will bend the knee and kiss ass.

The military you and I knew is no longer.
