'More than the National Guard.' Trump warns of more troops in US cities

President Donald Trump threatened to send “more than the National Guard” to "troubled" U.S. cities, a potential escalation from deploying troops where mayors and governors have opposed them in disputes that have reached the Supreme Court.

“We’re sending in our National Guard and if we need more than the National Guard, we’ll send more than the National Guard because we’re going to have safe cities,” Trump said Oct. 28 at a U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, Japan, during his weeklong Asia trip. “We’re not going to have people killed in our cities. Whether people like that or not, that’s what we’re doing."

Trump didn’t specify what the escalation would mean and which cities he is targeting.

Trump has deployed the national guard to cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and Memphis to quell protests against stricter immigration enforcement. But mayors and governors from all but Memphis have opposed the deployments and challenged them in federal courts with mixed results.

Yes you are. And the plan to blame someone else is already in place. Members of the gop will cheer your efforts on with gusto because they and you have zero positive to offer our nation. It’s sad that you didn’t have a happy childhood.

That’s impossible in any history.
I’m sorry but it’s human nature.

Aside from the river of guns we are swimming in….

What’s the best idea on how to do that?
Lack of social interaction- we were practically completely shutdown in 2020. Opening up into 2021



I know elected officials want to be aspirational but there’s also reality.
