For perspective on the Trump administration’s deployment of active duty Marines to Los Angeles and the federal call-up of the National Guard, Geoff Bennett spoke with James McPherson, an under secretary of the Army during the first Trump administration, and retired Maj. Gen. David Baldwin, the top military commander of National Guard forces in California from 2011-2022.

TLDR; both disagree with what’s going on.

    Starting to grind my gears to see the national press try to talk about Trump as though he’s an actual politician.

    He’s not pivoting his stance , he’s a moron manchild he’s just winging it as he goes 

    He’s not executing a reverse on his policy , he’s just bullshitting us all so that he can make himself look big

    And he’s not deploying troops to California he’s forcing a military control takeover of a liberal voting district

    I support any action that leads to the end of his corrupted administration…. Not violence though I’m not encouraging violence. I don’t wanna get kicked off this platform like I did reddit
