Something that scares me, and its just a matter of time; next time trump Is feeling threatened by a crowd, I think he might get the army to deploy their ADS, active denial system. Basically a microwave cannon to heat people up enough to drive them away. Scary stuff, and unleashing it on a crowd would get donnies mushroom hard. He probably hasnt heard of it fortunately. Hell be itching to try it out when he does.

They will certainly be pushed back a considerable distance in order to mitigate any possible disruption to the TV production. It is also possible that this is smoke and mirrors with another site already selected for the acceptance speech.

That would be perfect.

Before getting a few dozen federal LEOs in to the cities Trump certainly ordered the Pentagon to use troops and was told by SOD and the JCOS that it was illegal.
How do we know this? Trump has leaked out that he is going to fire Esper after the election, (and Esper confirmed he is not staying)
Do you really think Trump wouldn't have already used them if he could.
The SOS has an institutional lawyer who advises him on the legality of any action and he would have told him (If such an order was made) that it was illegal and he would likely face imprisonment if he obeyed it.
