President Donald Trump in a series of social media posts said the National Guard should be brought in “right now” to help deal with protesters in Los Angeles.
“Jim McDonnell, the highly respected LAPD Chief, just stated that the protesters are getting very much more aggressive, and that he would “have to reassess the situation,” as it pertains to bringing in the troops, Trump said in one post.
He added, “He should, RIGHT NOW!!! Don’t let these thugs get away with this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Trump was referring to McDonnell’s Sunday night press conference, where he said, “this thing has gotten out of control” and would now have to make a “reassessment” about requesting the National Guard.
