President Trump said on Thursday morning that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) should be thanking him for sending in the National Guard and Marines to respond to demonstrations on the streets of Los Angeles over the president's immigration policies.
The president suggested that the situation in Los Angeles had improved, touting the help of the 700 Marines and over 4,000 National Guard troops he had sent to the city without a request from the governor.
“Los Angeles was safe and sound for the last two nights. Our great National Guard, with a little help from the Marines, put the L.A. Police in a position to effectively do their job. They all worked well together, but without the Military, Los Angeles would be a crime scene like we haven’t seen in years,” Trump said on Truth Social.
He continued, “Governor Gaven NewScum had totally lost control of the situation. He should be saying THANK YOU for saving his ass, instead of trying to justify his mistakes and incompetence!!!”
The president has accused Newsom of being afraid to act during the protests against the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids while the White House maintains local officials were weak during the demonstrations, forcing the president to step in.
Newsom attempted for a judge to limit Trump’s National Guard deployment to Los Angeles, but his demand for an immediate intervention was rejected and a hearing is set for Thursday before the judge will rule on the governor’s emergency motion.
Newsom has repeatedly hit back at Trump's moves, with the motion seeking to limit Trump's National Guard deployment stating: “Federal antagonization, through the presence of soldiers in the streets, has already caused real and irreparable damage to the City of Los Angeles, the people who live there, and the State of California. They must be stopped, immediately."
Trump said on Tuesday he would keep the National Guard in place “until there is no danger” and he also insisted that some demonstrators in Los Angeles are paid insurrectionists. He has said he would “certainly” invoke the Insurrection Act if he deems an insurrection is taking place.
The Pentagon estimates the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to the California city will cost around $134 million.
