Donald Trump has claimed that Los Angeles would have been "completely obliterated" if he hadn't sent in the National Guard.
This is the first we've heard from the US president today about the disorder in LA.
Taking to Truth Social, he claimed sending in the National Guard was a "great decision".
He also took aim at the likes of Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass - state Democratic politicians.
Trump said: "The very incompetent 'Governor,' Gavin Newscum, and 'Mayor,' Karen Bass, should be saying, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'"
While Trump is keen to talk up his decision, Democratic politicians have said he only inflamed tensions by sending in the National Guard.
Also, much of the law enforcement is still being done by the Los Angeles Police Department, with others characterising Trump's move as a political stunt.

President trump needs to hold off before declaring victory. This is only beginning.
Trump put a lid on LA, now the Communist left are butt hurt and want it to spread to other cities...lol
Arrest Gavin. He was obviously in on the planning.
I like Newsom’s idea of withholding federal taxes. If it occurs I’m going to withhold paying my California state taxes.😊
Nuisance and WideMouth are not incompetent, they are highly skilled and trained at what they are: Marxist-Leninists.
Go ahead and sue, you pansy Newscum! Shake your fist like a little sissy boy you are. I can’t believe Californians have gone so beta.
My apologies to the sane people not living in large cities where are vastly outnumbered.
Newsom isn’t smart or skilled to organize what is happening. He is the most useful idiot the progressives have in their arsenal.
Trump should order both Bass and Newsom to be arrested
Governor warns he’ll sue president.
The country can’t durvive another Biden term the democrats proved what their work is worth chaos to the highest degree.
It's hard to say if the left will start these riots in other places if this is an effective stoppage of it all in LA.
But you can't discount inherent leftist inability to see what they are actually accomplishing rather than being zealous for their own "truth". If they zealously continue, they might destroy their credibility for a decade or more.
Which would be a lovely way to end the violence.
Yes, and that pallet of cinder blocks placed on the sidewalk was going to be used to build a homeless shelter.
Governor warns he’ll sue president for making him and Bass look like total idiots.
Politicians straddling these sanctuary jurisdictions may find themselves in a tight place when their college educated women and gang auxiliaries burn down their cities and divide the electorate.
Seems to me the Democrats’ aka Demoncrats’ plans since Trump was elected was to create enough lawsuits, “mostly peaceful pro]tests (if you disregard the flames)”, and judicial overreach by issuing ridiculous injunction for every executive order he issues that his MAGA effort will fail. Then they will try to convince voters that putting them back in power is a pathway to living in the garden of Eden.
Very telling.
Democrats WANT to destroy that city.
These troops are window dressing. Trump should fire up Air Force One, pick up Gavin Newsom, do a flyover of LA, then have Bondi arrest him drop him off at a federal court house.
The most powerful man in the world tiptoes around simple solutions.
Arrest Newsom… or wait until this crap spreads throughout the country.
