California Gov. Gavin Newsom believes Donald Trump’s choice to deploy U.S. Marines into Los Angeles as the protests against ICE continue is the “deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President.”
Trump initially announced Monday that 700 marines were being deployed into Los Angeles to support the National Guard as the city’s protest against the most recent ICE raids against undocumented individuals spilled into day four. Newsom was quick to fire back his thoughts on the escalation.
“U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes,” Newsom wrote. “They shouldn’t be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American.”
The protests against the Trump administration’s federal arrests of undocumented individuals began Friday and continued through the weekend – sparking in intensity after the president sent additional National Guard troops into the city.
The governor added in a separate tweet Monday that Trump had ordered an another 2,000 troops into L.A. – despite the majority of the first batch largely doing nothing.
“I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A.,” Newsom tweeted. “The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego. This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.”

It’s not a famtasy
And Gavin’s fantasy is letting all the illegals take over and burn everything down.
Which fantasy is the more preferred one?
That is a despicable human being.
It’s OK Gav, they’re following Barney Fife rules of engagement and will only exercise mostly-peaceful methods.
Trump is trying to remove criminals Gavin. Your words are meaningless. Thered be zero Marines there if you did your job …. But you played a game of chicken with Trump and lost bigly.
Calling that greasy insect a human is being generous.
Says the deranged, autocratic Governor of California.
I nominate him to be the 2028 democrat nominee.
I doubt if Gavin Newsom has ever shot a Red Ryder BB Gun in his life or much less held one in his hands.
Gavin, eat your caviar and shut the F up.
He has held a few other “guns” in his hands.
He’s only doing that because you aren’t doing your job, Greaseball.
Loser fidiot. Butt, he knows about them dick-taters.
Newsom called out the National Guard to assist with the COVID jabs back in 2022, as has been noted by other Freepers. The same governor is giving free healthcare to illegal aliens and he has allowed California cities to designate themselves as sanctuaries for illegal aliens as well, completely spitting in the face of immigration laws. This guy is Bill Clinton when it comes to slickness, but lacking Slick Willie’s brain and political skills.
“ “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and…”
Sounds like Trump is doing his job and Newsome isn’t.
“They shouldn’t be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American.”
They are facing illegal aliens and their abettors, not their own countrymen
Did he file suit against Trump yet?
I haven’t been following closely because of work.
Yeah. OK, let it burn.
I’m good with that.
