President Trump ripped into California’s “incompetent” leadership and called for a ban on face coverings as masked protesters clashed with federal agents conducting immigration raids across Los Angeles.

Trump called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass for their alleged mishandling of violent riots in response to the ICE raids that wrangled up over 100 illegal immigrants — including gang bangers and drug traffickers — this past week.

“We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to handle the task,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial Sunday morning.

Like Mayor ‘school bus’ Nagin during Katrina. Don’t forget the governor whose response to the hurricane was a nervous breakdown.

It’s like the fist just b4 meeting your face-no damage beforehand.
W swallowed the condemnation afterwards.

I haven’t seen any reports saying the National Guard was actually put on the scene. Just getting ready and being used as a threat. Has anyone else seen them actually showing up and stopping any of the violence?

Whining that she’s “Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, Bass sucked up big time.........said she was deeply angered; said her pathetic Office is in close coordination with immigrant rights types who laughingly said, “We will not stand for this.”

Pushback from over two million on X, pointed out criticisms of Bass’ leadership, preparedness, and response to the devastating LA wildfires of utter destruction that killed 30 people.......while Bass was on a tax paid junket to Africa.

“You have no say in this at all,” she was told.

The Olympics officials should move the Olympics from Lost Angeles

Greatest Evah!

I am reminded of the old saying...”LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!” Go Trump! Save the USA from democratic nonsense.

Illegals immigration is illegal. It’s is made worse when the illegal immigrants are criminals. America was and is tired of open borders, illegals and especially the criminals. Trump campaigned on ending it. He didn’t mince words. He didn’t equivocate. He clearly stated what he would do. He said he would deport all illegals.

The American People voted for ending it and doing what is being done now.

The democrats won’t accept any result other than them being in charge. I’d they can’t be in charge, they don’t storm the U.S. Capitol. That is small potatoes for them. They go big and burn the cities, murder anyone who opposes them and just riot.

The kicker? If you try to stop them, you are causing “chaos.”

It’s too dangerous for the Olympics. Move them to Dallas or Miami where people will be safe.

[HombreSecreto]

Hmmm...could the IOC move that fast? Could they get Paris or Tokyo spun up again that quickly?

[Socon-Econ]

It has nothing to do with their competence—they are leading a rebellion to destroy our borders. Trump needs to get the entire Republican party into campaign mode to explain this to the American people.

No, no. Don’t you remember the opening ceremonies of the last one, the focus on perversion? That will be right at home in LA. Let ‘em burn together.

President Trump deployed the National Guard over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass w/ political lives on life support......

Bass reiterated that LA law enforcement will NOT be dispatched to assist ICE/DHS agents being attacked.

Trump federalized part of California’s National Guard under what is known as Title 10 authority, which places him, not the governor, atop the chain of command, according to Newsom’s office.

“Blinkered Bass” confirmed after midnight that Ntl Guard troops had not been deployed in LA, shortly after Trump thanked troops for “a job well done” in a pre-dawn post on social media.

Mayor Karen Bass sucks up: “We are going to fight for all Angelenos, regardless of when they got here, whether they have papers or not, we are a city of immigrants.”

Nope...not incompetent...complicit.

[dljordan]

The Mexicans are telling the black mayor what she’s going to do.

I want to THANK Gavin Newscum and arguably the most incompetent Mayor in the USA, LA Mayor Karen Bass for showing the entire American voting public just who The Democrats really are.

Newsome and Bass embody everything right thinking Americans hate about the Democrat Party, the party of violence, disorder, illegal aliens, and anti-Americanism seeking to destroy America.

In blaming President Trump and the Federal Government for the violence that's erupted in California while ICE and Tom Homan DO THEIR JOBS, Gavin Newscum and Karen Bass expose the evil that is the Democrat Party and exactly who they favor (illegal aliens over American Citizens) and what they're for: EVIL.

So I want to go on record and THANK Gavin Newscum and Karen Bass for flipping California and probably other blue states RED in 2026.

Every single Republican commercial, online digitial ad and email is going to contain this image:

And it damn' well should. This is what The Democrats are all about: violence when they don't get their way. Thank you Gavin Newscum and Karen Bass for flipping blue cities and blue states RED in 2026.

For the record, that's not a prediction, that's a SPOILER.

[Getready]

They are both incompetent AND complicit.
L A. used to be a city of LEGAL immigrants...B ass equates legal immigrants with illegal immigrants. She is not quite brain dead. Approaching Biden levels.

When Democrats Rule = Incompetent Leadership

It’s never failed to happen

[LouAvul]

“Incompetence” is an euphemism for anti-American corruption and treason. There is a slew of traitors holding office throughout America and they need to be removed. With prejudice. Our future depends upon it.
