Going to war with Mexico seems perfectly in line with the racism and ethnic clensing.
They're not moving into Mexico. They're moving onto US land, displacing the civilian authorities.
He's really digging around in the American system for elements that are explicitly loyal to him, not to the law, and trying to put them in charge. He found one in ICE. He's trying to remake the overall federal government to be that, instead, and to some extent he'll succeed but I think mostly he will just break it and make it a laughable dysfunctional band of idiots, instead of molding it to be the way he wants it.
I think he thinks that the military is going to be easy to mold into another instance of that, and I think there will be some small success, but I think the more likely result for most of the military is just that they'll think it's bullshit and it'll motivate them to resent and resist him as his orders start to get more and more illegal. I could be wrong, but that's what I think.
The U.S. Military has also spent multiple decades teaching decentralized command as a doctrinal philosophy. It is very much not organized to be controlled by top-down dictatorship.
The US military is run by the E5 mafia. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
E4 mafia runs that shit. They just behave for the E5s because they were colleagues recently.
