The Wall Street Journal reported that the Pentagon has ordered state national guard units to establish "rapid response" forces by January 2026 to deal with riots and civil unrest anywhere in the United States.
US President Trump "turns the knife inward" to consolidate his position. Since the beginning of this year, Trump has sent the National Guard multiple times to key cities in several states to crack down on illegal immigration and crime, effectively targeting Democratic strongholds under the guise of these operations, as the cities where Trump sends the National Guard are mostly controlled by Democrats. Now establishing a rapid response force of the National Guard is undoubtedly a move by Trump to intensify his attacks on the Democrats. Especially since the US will hold mid-term elections next year, which relates to the smoothness of Trump's remaining two years in office, so Trump is urgently trying to knock down the Democrats, which also means that the struggle between the two parties in the US will be more intense next year, and Trump will use the National Guard more frequently within the country.
