"And even the DemocratsI can't believe it, but they don't want to admit it, but I can believe it. We could do the same thing in Chicago, New York. Los Angeles. We did it. We saved Los Angeles, Trump said to applause while speaking at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Los Angeles was a mess. If we didn't send our troops in, Gavin Newscum would have had a real problem. We sent our troops. The head police officer, the top person, said, We could have never done this alone,' Trump claimed, adding: We sent our troops right in at the beginning, and we killed it. And it was nasty, but we killed it immediately, immediately."
"REMINDER: At 11:41pm PT on June 7, Trump praised the National Guard in LA. Problem: THEY WEREN'T DEPLOYED ON THE GROUND YET! Trump was actually crediting the state & local response he now trashes! Why doesn't the President remember where he's sending troops or when they got somewhere???"
President Trump claimed federal troops were sent into Los Angeles "right in at the beginning" and said they "killed it" in response to unrest, citing similar actions that could be taken in other cities. Trump criticized California leadership while praising the deployment and results. Governor Newsom's press office responded with a timestamped reminder that Trump praised the National Guard at 11:41pm PT on June 7, when the Guard had not yet been deployed on the ground. The governor's office noted that Trump was crediting state and local response that he later criticized, raising questions about the timeline.
