Trump in ALL OUT PANIC over MASSIVE PROTESTS and Creates WATCH LIST?!?
Analyzing NSPM-7: Trump's Legal Authority and Protest Intimidation Tactics
Former DOJ official Mary McCord explains why President Trump's controversial NSPM-7 creates no new crimes but functions primarily as a broad tactic to intimidate political opponents ahead of nationwide protests. Understand the memo's actual power limits versus its perceived threat.
Short Summary
- NSPM-7 does not establish new federal crimes or grant new investigatory powers, requiring standard legal processes like warrants and probable cause to remain intact.
- The memo directs cabinet members to target vaguely defined groups (e.g., anti-capitalism, antifa) using existing tools, primarily functioning as a directive to prioritize politically motivated investigations.
- This tactic mirrors past—and unsuccessful—Trump executive orders intended to scare entities like law firms, universities, and media into self-censorship without successful legal enforcement.
- The primary danger lies in the potential for unlawful targeting based on First Amendment-protected speech and association, regardless of the memo’s lack of legal teeth for creating "domestic terrorist organization" designations.
This discussion clarifies the legal non-existence of the "domestic terrorist organization" designation for US entities, contrasting it sharply with foreign terrorist designations which carry severe material support penalties. Listeners will learn how to separate actual legal authority from strategic executive intimidation tactics aimed at suppressing dissent before major demonstrations.

We the people bow to: - No Filthy King - No Corrupt Felony - No Dictator - No Child Sex Offenders - No Criminal Warlord Like Donald Jerk Trump.
If you're anti fascist you're antifa. I'm anti fascist. These clowns in power are trying to create a straw man villain in 'antifa'.
Mr. Trump I am a woman and I am fearless. Your threats are the sign of a weak man. No president of the United States has ever shown so much weakness.
We have NO KING!!!!
If Americans don't protest for our democracy and constitution we will not have a country anymore. No kings
We are all terrorist because we believe in democracy. OK
Trump would be at the top of any Anti American list.
See you at the protest. Stand Up Americans. Don't be intimidated by outside persons. Remain calm and stay strong. Be sure to VOTE in all upcoming elections, local and national. Take the House back and send republicants home.
Stand up, speak out, stay strong UNITED against this regime's atrocities.
Peaceful protest is one legal tool that gets rid of authoritarianism.
