Nothing like rampant authoritarianism to distract people from the Epstein cover-up.
Reminder that the National Guard are not intended to be used against its own citizens. They fought in Vietnam, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. And they've also guarded Guantanamo Bay. They are not police. They are military.
This is done due to next fridays summit with Putin.
😂😂😂😂 Focus on france😂😂😂😂 USA isn't France
Trump needs distractions from the files.
That's why he does these things
Paris is far worse than Washington. Looks like a third world capital.
Trump turning the military on the American people will end in disaster and the permanent distrust of the USA.
Need to take care of business !!!!!
Weldone Mr Trump. ❤
The US military signed up to protect America against all foes foreign and domestic which does not include other peoples wars in other countries.
😂
Nobody is taking suggestions from the French on anything. Sort your own issues out, this time without America.
I approve this, how can the strongest country and the modern empire economy have homelessness in its capital. They should sign the homeless into the military or give them a job of cleaning the streets. But homeless camps shouldn't exist
Because democrats let it gets so far gone that now the military is what's needed to quickily turn things around
