President Trump Proposes Solution to Handle Most Violent Criminal Neighborhoods
Democrats still continue to destroy our cities by allowing violence to persist and thugs to rule the streets.
Police are demonized while criminals are let out of jail free like a game of Monopoly.
In areas where “there is a true and total breakdown of law and order, where citizens’ most basic rights are violated,” President Trump called for legislation to allow the executive branch to order the National Guard to be deployed.
Trump said during his speech at the America First Policy Institute summit on Tuesday in Washington, DC, “The federal government can and should send the National Guard to restore order and secure the peace without having to wait for the approval of some governor who thinks it’s politically incorrect to call them in.”
Prior to the incident at the Capitol on January 6, President Trump asked for the use of the National Guard, but that request was turned down. According to a former Pentagon official with the Trump administration, then-president Trump had offered “the Capitol Police, and Mayor Bowser of Washington, DC, thousands of National Guardsmen and women, two days before January 6. And they turned us down.”
In a Fox News interview, Trump said that Nancy Pelosi rejected his request to station 10,000 National Guard troops at the Capitol on January 6.
“I said that I think you should have 10,000… I definitely gave the number of 10,000 National Guardsmen.”
“They took that number, from what I understand, they gave it to people at the Capitol, which is controlled by [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi, and I heard they rejected it, because ‘it didn’t look good’. So, you know, that was a big mistake,” he said.
Additionally, Trump pushed Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Oregon Governor Kate Brown to permit the National Guard to enter Portland during a summer of unrest in 2020.
President Trump tweeted,
“We again request Kate Brown (@OregonGovBrown), the Governor of Oregon, and Mayor @TedWheeler of Portland, to call up the National Guard like should have been done 3 months ago… …They must stop calling these anarchists and agitators “peaceful protestors.” Come back into the real world! The Federal Government is ready to end this problem immediately upon your request.”
