Stop dodging Comrade.
Should federal troops be policing the states?

I must have misunderstood what you're asking. I'm not saying he's committed a crime. I'm saying that there are circumstances where the president can take unilateral action to deploy the National Guard within a state, regardless of whether or not he has the approval of the governor.
Now, will the president come up with another fake emergency to rationalize deploying the National Guard in a state where the governor doesn't want it? That seems likely.
Narrow circumstances
Yup, so he has limited powers.

The powers are granted with a level of subjectivity. Trump has misused the spirit of rules so far, so I would expect him to missuse them again.

In the 1960s, federal troops were deployed to Alabama streets to protect civil rights marchers during the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965
But that was OK

He's violated the law but hasn't been held accountable by Congress. Not his first time either.

Not really. The marines just stood around federal buildings to protect them. I don't see an issue with that.
He has ALL the powers enumerated in Article II - no matter how much that distresses you.
You of the left seem to think that all executive powers transferred to the judiciary once Trump was sworn in.
Misused in what way?
Yes, limited to ONLY those given him by Article II, he does not seem to understand that.

By declaring imaginary emergencies to use Presidential powers to do whatever he wants.
You grasp that the District of Columbia is a FEDERAL district and the POTUS has full authority to deploy the NG with no justification at all, right?
So what "imaginary emergency" do you claim?
All I see are insurrectionists on the Bench engaged in sedition attempting to block his Article II powers.

"I’m interested in what Trump is now think?"
You don't imagine that's a coherent question do you? Try it in English and I'd be happy to answer but I don't speak leftist idiot.
So where does Article II give the President the right to impose tariffs?
