Are Soldiers Protecting Trump Properties From Seizure?!

Claim : Soldiers Are Protecting Trump Properties From Seizure!

On 22 March 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) which claimed that Navy SEALS, Delta Force, Army Rangers, and US Marines are now protecting Trump properties in New York, Florida, New Jersey, Nevada, and California!

As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

White Hats Fortify Trump Properties

Navy SEALs at Mar-a-Lago. Marines stationed at President Trump’s Bedminster resort. Delta Force guarding Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street in New York City. And Army Rangers patrolling Donald Trump’s expansive Seven Springs golf course and estate in Westchester County.

General Eric M. Smith and the White Hat council have deployed 2,500 soldiers and Marines to Trump’s properties in New York, Florida, New Jersey, Nevada, and California as a formidable deterrent against the Deep State’s threat to seize his real estate empire. Agents of the Deep State have said they will annex Trump’s lands unless he secures a $454 million bond by next week.

Last month, Deep State judge Arthur Engoron floated that arbitrary figure after wrongly ruling that President Trump and his oldest sons overvalued their real estate holdings in New York and Florida. In response, the Trumps denied the spurious allegations, arguing that, if anything, insurance underwriters had undervalued holdings such as Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, and 40 Wall Street, and saying Engoron’s judgment is part of a broader Deep State conspiracy to deplete Trump’s campaign cash.

Mar-a-Lago sources told Real Raw News that the Deep State won’t see a dime of Trump’s money, and that Trump refused an overture to pay the fine with cash White Hats had acquired from the late Oprah Winfrey’s vast fortune. Trump reportedly told Gen. Smith that Oprah’s assets ought to be injected into the economy to help restore prosperity once the Biden cabal gets annihilated.

President Trump, the lawful commander-in-chief, accepted Gen. Smith’s counterproposal: bolster defenses should the Deep State try to forcibly commandeer Trump-owned properties.

It wasn’t the first time Trump welcomed White Hats onto his land. The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta, or 1 SFOD-D, and an unknown number of Navy SEALs have been safeguarding Trump’s Mar-a-Lago headquarters since April 2021.

Now, White Hats have strengthened seven of Trump’s most valuable landmarks.

“I can’t say how many soldiers and Marines are watching a specific location, but we’ve placed over 2,500 men out there, and we’ve made no secret about it. In fact, President Trump and General Smith notified the necessary parties that Trump’s estates are under military guard. We’ve pretty much dared them to make a move,” our source said.

Claim : Soldiers Are Not Protecting Trump Properties From Seizure!

The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Soldiers Are Not Protecting Trump Properties From Seizure!

This is really silly, but it has to be said – US soldiers are not protecting Trump properties from seizure.

If soldiers were actually deployed to protect his properties, it would have been covered internationally, not just nationally, because it would be completely unprecedented!

Yet, there was no such news. Not even right-wing conservative websites or pundits mentioned such a shocking event. There are also no photos or videos of soldiers guarding any Trump property. That’s because it never happened. There are no soldiers protecting Trump properties from being seized.

Unsurprisingly, the Real Raw News article offered no evidence to back up its claim, just rambling nonsense.

Fact #2 : US Soldiers Cannot Be Deployed Except In Special Circumstances

It is really silly for anyone to claim that US soldiers were sent to protect properties owned by Donald Trump, more so to prevent them from being seized.

The Posse Comitatus Act prevents federal military personnel from being deployed within the United States, except when expressly authorised by the Constitution, or an Act of Congress.

Generally, only the President of the United States can order the deployment of US federal military personnel and federalised National Guard troops within the United States using the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Even if President Joe Biden wanted to help protect Donald Trump’s properties, he wouldn’t be able to use the Insurrection Act to deploy troops, because they can only be deployed to “suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion”.

Fact #3 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website

Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.

That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:

Were Marines + Army Rangers Just Sent To Texas Border?!

Claim : Marines + Army Rangers Were Sent To Texas Border!

On 27 January 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) claiming that General Eric M. Smith just sent Marines and Army Rangers to join the Texas National Guard protecting the border!

As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

A White Hat convoy carrying crates of rifles and spools of razor wire arrived in Eagle Pass, Texas, Friday afternoon to support the Texas National Guard in its regional border dispute with unlawful federal forces, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.

General Eric M. Smith and the White Hat council, he said, approved the rapid deployment as a measured response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that allows federal Border Protection agents to remove concertina wire lain across the Rio Grande to prevent would-be illegals and terrorists from setting foot on Texas soil.

According to our source, Gen. Smith’s office spoke with Gov. Abbott immediately following the Court’s deliberate misinterpretation of federal law.

“The general told Gov. Abbott he could muster forces and have trucks ready to roll in 24 hours,” our source said. “Texas has helped us in the past, and we weren’t going to leave Abbott hanging. He said he’d welcome us with open arms.”

Our source wouldn’t enumerate the number of men sent to Texas, but he said the task force includes Marines and U.S. Army Rangers. His mentioning “hundreds of spools of wire,” each 50 feet long, hints at an armada ready to reckon with federal goons if push comes to shove. He said the task force will be embedded in and wear the uniforms of the Texas National Guard to show solidarity.

“Our goal is to gently convince border services to uphold, not violate, their constitutional oath. We hope they will heed that advice. We’re not in this for bloodshed, but we’re not shy about confronting federal forces—a fact we’ve proven time and time again,” our source said.

Truth : Marines + Army Rangers Were Not Sent To Texas Border… Yet!

The truth is – this is just another FAKE STORY created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.

Fact #1 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website

Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.

Fact #2 : Marines + Army Rangers Were Not Sent To Texas Border

This is really silly, but it has to be said – US Marines and Army Rangers were not sent to the Texas border to support Governor Greg Abbott’s refusal to comply with a recent US Supreme Court ruling, allowing US Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire placed on the Texas border.

Neither were any US Marine or Army Ranger instructed to wear the uniform of the Texas National Guard to “show solidarity”. That’s just utter nonsense.

Such an action would have been considered mutiny, and it would have been covered extensively by the US mainstream media, if not news organisations all over the world.

Yet, no legitimate media outlet reported such a shocking story? That’s because it never happened. It was all made up.

Fact #3 : Mutiny Carries A Death Penalty Sentence

The US military is subservient to the US civilian leadership, which is currently the Biden Administration under US President Joe Biden. Deploying military troops without a direct order by the Biden Administration would be mutiny under Article 94 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

Military personnel committing mutiny would be subject to a court martial, and those found guilty shall be punished by death or other alternative punishments that the court martial may decide.

Fact #4 : US Marine Generals Don’t Command Army Rangers

The Real Raw News writer does not appear to understand the basic concept of the military chain of command, or the fact that the United States has multiple uniformed services.

General Eric M. Smith is the 39th commandant of the US Marine Corps, which is just one of eight uniformed services in the United States. He only has command over the US Marine Corps, but not the other uniformed services like the Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.

In short – it is simply impossible for General Eric M. Smith to order US Army Rangers to do anything. The Rangers are part of the US Army, which is a completely different uniformed service.

Fact #4 : US Military Have Been Deployed To Help DHS

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the federal agency in charge of the border at Texas and other US states.

The US military have been deployed to the Texas border on several occasions by the civilian administration of the day – in 2018 under President Trump, and in 2023 under President Biden. However, they were always there to assist the CBP, with the CBP deciding on where those Marines were deployed, and how they could assist.

The Real Raw News, on the other hand, is claiming that US Marines and US Army Rangers were deployed to help the Texas National Guard fight against the CBP. That’s just utter nonsense. If any US Marines were to be deployed in 2024, it would certainly be to help the CBP, not to fight against them.
