  1. They’re going to turn D.C into a fortress. Fuck this orange bastard and the Heritage foundation. Release the files.

  2. Why there is no reason to deploy them. This is dangerous performative theater.

  4. Gotta drain the GOP swamp and deep state in the White House, Congress, DOJ, FBI, SCOTUS, and etc.

  5. Classic case of Republicans getting to Washington and becoming the ultimate D.C. insiders, focused on things inside the beltway. Abandoned the things his own base supporters care about, to dick around with DC playground stuff for a 19 year old rich kid.

  6. It must infuriate the trump administration that the left aren’t the violent radicals they keep pretending they are.

  7. Most of the crime in DC comes from the WH, trump is a child rapist.

  9. Where was this energy when the Capitol was being overrun by literal terrorists?

  11. 7 day show of force to distract from the Epstein files.

  13. Wait I kept hearing it’s constitutional right of you Muricans to carry firearms to fight a tyranny? No?

  14. “Tread on me harder, daddy!” – All those assholes with the don’t tread on me bumper stickers

  15. Destroying the US to protect a child rapist, that’s what Republicans have become

  16. If only he was as fast to protect the Capitol as he is to protect Big Balls.

  17. Its funny…people dont realize this cost money. And sure we use debt to pay for this but at 37 trillion dollars in debt, how long can it go for?

    US dollar and confidence in the US dollar will soon plunge like never seen before as the man turns DC into a fortress.

    But with no more ability to fund the military, the collapse of the empire begins.

  18. Wow. The crazy thing about that is that release the Epstein files

  19. No amount of facts about how D.C isn’t even on the top 25 and it’s mostly red states / cities, will change Trump’s mind.

    It’s all just vibes with him.

    His people attack the capitol , oh let’s not bring in the national.guard

    However a guy that goes by “big balls” gets caught harassing someone and is attacked for that, bring in the troops !

  20. I know this comment is getting old, but…IMAGINE if Joe Biden had done this. Or god forbid, Barack Obama.

    Republicans would have nuked the Capitol.

  21. This is the same guy who resisted deploying the DC National Guard on January 6, 2021.

    I wonder what was different then?

  22. He couldn’t be bothered to deploy the DC Natl Guard on January 6th, but now he is doing so because (not so) Big Balla got beat up. Cool cool

  23. Crime is statistically down, this is all theater.

    Trump is losing his grip on reality

  25. *”it was unclear what exactly the troops would do”*

    Judging from what happened in LA; probably be on their phones all day, sleep on the floor at a federal building at night.

  26. So most of those “homeless people” are veterans for the United States of Fucking America. They have more of right to be in DC than that pedophile ,cancer charity scamming, rapist

  27. Wait wait wait….
    So now the president suddenly does have the power to get the national guard in DC? Is that a new power or he just admits he was lying by blaming Nancy Pelosi for not getting the national guard to help on 1/6?

  28. First it was ‘illegal’ immigrants. Now he’s capturing the homeless. Followed by disabled citizen, mentally challenged, drug abusers, scholars, opposition etc. Simply anyone he doesn’t like. The Nazi regime is slowly forming shape. Thanks to the support of the Military and National Guard. All traitors to the constitution. I mean, they all swore an oath, or am I wrong? How can they support this shit?!

  29. I already said this in a previous post but I think that it bears repeating:

    If I were attempting to destroy American democracy and install myself as a dictator, I would use a convenient “violent” event (like a carjacking) as justification to move in the military. I would do this because I and the advisors helping me would realize that before I start the real shit, I better make sure that I’m dug in so I’m safe when the uprising happens. And I would be expecting an event either one of my own to enshrine permanent power or when I finally went over the line and the citizens revolted.

    But I would either way be worldly enough to know that my impending final play to topple democracy will most likely involve civil unrest and I would be savvy enough to understand that seizing a convenient event to entrench myself preemptively is far easier than orchestrating a false flag. That kid with the BigBalks handle, who got carjacked has become the catalyst for this.

    Also, I predict that they will be used to round up the homeless and they will be sent off to one of those “camps.” Just like the Nazi’s did…

    American Nazis are on the very cusp of taking over if we have not already reached the tipping point.

  31. What more is it going to take for people to realize that our Constitutional protections have failed. Congress isn’t coming to save us. Courts aren’t coming to save us. An election isn’t coming to save us, because it won’t be free, fair, or legitimate.

  32. So an insurrection is totally fine by decades of homelessness is suddenly an emergency

  33. Congrats to the millions of mouth-breathers who voted for this fucking turd.

  34. If you live in or around DC come out tomorrow at 10am to stand with your neighbors!!! https://freedcproject.org/event-list/dc-is-our-home-trump-cant-have-it

    If you’re not in the area please stand with us in other ways. Call your representatives and demand they reject this behavior. They’re counting on people looking away or being willing to throw DC under the bus. 800,000 people live here. I love my life here. We need your support.

  35. He couldn’t activate them when the capital was under siege, but big balls is carjacked and it’s lit?

  37. So Trump does control the National Guard then and it’s not Nancy Pelosi? THEN WHY THE FUCK DIDNT HE ACTIVATE THEM SOONER WHEN HIS MOB WAS RANSACKING THE CAPITOL?!

  38. Where are the Epstein files? Release them already!

  39. So J6 didn’t warrant the national guard but a few homeless people do.

  40. How do you eat an elephant?

    One bite at a time.

    Baby steps to totalitarianism.

  41. Can we just skip to the part where he blows his head off in a bunker already?

  42. But crime is at a 30 year low. What do you expect him to do? Shut the fuck up and not be a child sex predator or what??

  43. Practicing for when he doesn’t want to leave office after the landslide loss.

  44. Trump doesn’t love this country. Trump hates this country. And Trump has hated this country for decades. It’s astounding to me that more people can’t see that.
