"We're going to have troops everywhere" [1]

Today at Bedminster, Trump held a presser. One of the reasons he gave as to why he was sending in troops to LA is because the protestors “are spitting at people...that’s their new thing...They spit, we hit.”
When he was asked about invoking the Insurrection Act and his plan to send troops to LA, his response was “We’re going to have troops everywhere. We’re not going to let this happen to our Country. We’re not going to let our Country be torn apart... “ (emphasis mine)
Then he was asked what was the bar for sending marines? “The bar is what I think it is , I mean if we see danger to our Country and to our citizens, I will be very, very strong in terms of law and order. It’s about Law and Order...We’ll send whatever we need to make sure there’s law and order.”
Except it’s law and order against the country’s own citizens. The National Guard in LA are armed with MOC (Methods of Control) sticks to beat people with as well as carrying rifles.
And “the bar is what I think it is” means the law is whatever he thinks it is.
Personally, I think the “would be King” is feeling very threatened by the upcoming “NO KING’S DAY” rallies and whether he actually sends in troops all over the country in time for the rallies or not, he’s definitely trying to sow fear to keep people from showing up.
The only place I can find this reporting in as part of a Meidas Touch video. It’s from CSPAN but it’s not available on their own YT Channel. Ben Meiselis’ lead into the presser clips starts at 2:33 minutes, if my attempt to have the video start at that point doesn’t work.
Oh and if you want to see Trump trip walking up the stairs to his plane, roll the video back to the beginning.
This is scary as hell, but try to stay calm and carry on.
