Republican Trump, 78, deployed the National Guard in America’s second city on Saturday after clashes erupted over immigration raids -- but he did not seek the Democratic governor’s consent, the first time a US president has taken such an action in 60 years.
“I would do it if I were Tom. I think it’s great,“ Trump told reporters when asked if Homan should arrest Newsom, as the Republican president arrived on his Marine One helicopter at the White House.
Trump said Newsom, who has been widely tipped as a possible 2028 presidential candidate, had “done a terrible job” in curbing the Los Angeles clashes.
Trump later said that “I don’t want a civil war,“ but that “civil war would happen if you left it to people like him.”
On Sunday, he blasted border chief Homan, telling MSNBC: “Come after me, arrest me, let’s just get it over with, tough guy.”
The Democrat then branded Trump as “dictatorial” later Monday after the Trump administration deployed 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles.
