When Obama was President there was a military exercise planned in Louisiana and Texas. There was an explosion of far right heads who accused Obama of a secret plot to invade Texas, etc. Among other things it was described as a "psychological operation aimed at getting people used to seeing military forces on the streets" and would be used to "stockpile supplies for Chinese troops who will be arriving to disarm Americans". A lot of it was vintage Alex Jones.

Now Trump is actually doing something worse than the whacky conspiracy theorists could imagine. Deploying National Guard troops against the objection of the Governor of California who said it is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
