Here’s 6 times President Trump failed to take the same action during his previous Admin, including instances where fed assistance was requested:
Here’s 6 times President Trump failed to take the same action during his previous Admin, including instances where fed assistance was requested:
Washington, D.C. (January 6, 2021) 
Charlottesville, Virginia (2017)
Memphis, Tennessee (2019)
Minneapolis, Minnesota (2020)
Kenosha, Wisconsin (2020)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2018)
President Trump continues efforts to turn the military into his own personal police force against American citizens in Los Angeles.
Prior to this week, President Trump and members of his Administration have repeatedly and publicly declared that a takeover of the National Guard would be illegal.
Local and state law enforcement have also stated that the military presence is exacerbating a situation that was otherwise under control.
