[Trump: Deploying the National Guard is a wise decision; governors and mayors should thank me] President Trump: 'We made a great decision to send the National Guard to handle the violent riots happening in California. If we hadn't done this, Los Angeles would have been completely destroyed. The extremely incompetent 'Governor' Gavin Newsom and 'Mayor' Karen Bass should say to me, 'Thank you, President Trump, you're amazing.' However, in contrast, they choose to deceive the people of California and the American people by saying they don't need us, claiming these are 'peaceful protests.' Just take a look at the images and videos filled with violence and destruction, and you'll know everything. We will always do everything we can to protect the safety of our citizens so that we can make America great again together!'
