President Donald Trump says his administration "made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California" following three days of protests in Los Angeles in response to immigration raids.
Trump deployed 300 National Guard troops to the city to disperse the chaotic protests, saying in a Truth Social post that "if we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated."
"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.'"
"Instead, they choose to lie to the People of California and America by saying that we weren't needed, and that these are "peaceful protests," he added.
"Just one look at the pictures and videos of the Violence and Destruction tells you all you have to know. We will always do what is needed to keep our Citizens SAFE, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC that he plans to file suit Monday against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called "an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act."
Trump has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is "a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States."

Violence and Destruction must be remembered at midterm election or it will get worse communism is in full speed ahead now.
Send in even more troops.
Boy, this is making Newsom and Bass look like sh*t. They said Trump would only escalate this in LA.
Today is a whole different story so far. Go Trump!
Marines are in deploy mode at Camp Pendleton CA.
time to roll in the tanks and open fire on the rebels. They should be crushed just to send a message.
I can’t wait for the to say we would be nothing without you.
Pointless if you don’t administer harsh measures.
Absolutely....Has Newsome shut up yet??
I am confused. Are the troops only protecting federal facilities or has the order been expanded?
