On the other thread on this topic, sentiment seems to be running about 2-1 in favor of the idea that this was Trump’s call, part of his promise to “drain the swamp.” The minority view (which is my view) is that this order came from Obama, and was a petulant move to weaken security at a critical moment.
This termination could not come from PE Trump...He, even though elected, is STILL private citizen Trump...This order had to come from Obama admin...Another attempt to make Trump look bad and maybe cause more disturbances...
I’m in agreement with you.
The troops of the DC National Guard are drawn from the population of a city that gave Hillary Clinton 95% of the vote.
Having them on the streets and armed on January 20, commanded by a man who, to say the least, does not have the confidence of the Trump team, worries me greatly.
I hope that the U.S. Marine Corps takes over security at 12:01 pm next Friday.
