    He is commander in chief of the US military.

    The US military stresses disobeying illegal orders.

    So the simple answer is the US military chain of command respecting their oath to the constitution over loyalty to Trump.

        You need hundreds of people all working together to drop a bomb on a US city. Commanders, officers, maintenance workers, ordinance loaders, pilots, navigators, even base MPs.

        You really think you can get all of these people to agree to drop a bomb on a civilian US city, just on a Trump whim?

        Come now.

          Marines opening fire? I think only during the Rodney King riots.

          Any military branches opening fire? The Kent State Shooting and The Bonus Army Incident.

          Any military branches just bombing the shit out of civilians on US soil? The Battle of Blair Mountain and The Philadelphia MOVE Bombing
