Donald says he saved Newsom's ass - National Guard and Marines accompanying ICE [1]

Donald was up early to pat himself on the back for being so brilliant in his handling of the LA protests.
"Los Angeles was safe and sound for the last two nights."
Because the LAPD was handling things while the National Guard's presence did not provoke more vandalism with the curfew in place.
"Our great National Guard, with a little help from Marines, put the L.A. police in a position to effectively do their job."
There are contradictory reports that National Guard are only protecting federal buildings, and that the Marines are getting quick training. At the same time, it is being reported that National Guard and Marines are accompanying ICE agents on raids. 500 National Guard troops have been trained in this new job and the next 2,000 to come are being trained also. Marines accompanying ICE is reported as well as pictures showing it are reported, but not available. Facilitating ICE raids would be a game-changer in the misuse of force.
"They all worked together, but without the Military, Los Angeles would have been a crime scene like we haven't seen in years."
The military was completely unneeded. The LAPD was in complete control. National Guard was unnecessary and the Marines an escalation designed to incite violence. Morale is bad, with troops saying they didn't sign up for this.
"Governor Gaven NewScum had totally lost control of the situation."
Misspelled the first name for the first time, and accentuated the "Scum" with the capital letter for the first time. Trump is the one who has lost control. As Gov. Newsom said, "He's lost it." Newsom was referring to Trump's mental state.
"He should be saying THANK YOU for saving his ass, instead of trying to justify his mistakes and incompetence!!!"
Perhaps Trump is making the first reference to Newsom's brilliant speech here. He doesn't dare try to refute it because he would look the fool even more than he already is.
Then Trump tried to set the narrative when a Truth Social user called him out.
He didn't do it very well. It wasn't a landslide, and no one in America signed up for what Trump has done to the country. Not even MAGA.
Trump has no concept of the illegality of what he has done. The justifications are all invalid. The hearing on Newsom's request for a TRO to prevent the Guard and Marines from conducting law enforcement is today. It now is apparent that the temporary restraining order is sorely needed.
Trump's use of the military must be stopped.
