Trump says he will 'liberate' Los Angeles in speech to mark the 250th anniversary of the Army

Trump acts and leads as though the military is there to serve him, not the American people. Hence, the military parade on his birthday, his OWN birthday! Washington & Lincoln must be rolling over in their graves right now. No president in history has ever done that and for good reason.

What Trump is and has been doing is completely wrong. The president should have done this through the governor of California. Instead Trump did this behind the governor’s back in a deceitful and despicable manner. A manufactured crisis.

How many of the deployed marines have earned their golf course security badges? Will they be needed for tactical rapid deployment to a Trump property to guard the immaculate greens and pitch in with housekeeping?

He will do exactly as said, yes.

Newsom was expecting that Democrat appointed judge to save him.

Denied! So get to arresting any and every illegal and any and every violent or non compliant “protesters”.

Liberate what, all 6 city blocks where these stupid riots are taking place?

Hence, the military parade on his birthday, his OWN birthday! 

you mean on the 250th anniversary of the US Arrmy?

Lord help us Liberate America from this Man.

When a few hundred thousand come into a country on the other side of the world it is called an invasion. Should be the same at home when tens of millions come by the same logic should it not.

And to that point, look at the vocabulary Trump used - invaded, liberate, conquered, foreign enemy - consistent with that truism.

Trump's speech went down well with the assembled crowd who appeared to be very receptive. Watch the video - the crowd loudly booed when he mentioned the governor of CA and the mayor of LA, including as he used a certain nickname in place of the surname for the former.

Mr. trump looking for a new FIGHT to fuel his EGO.

People are justified in protesting this fascism.

Court case hasn't happened yet Mr. MAGA.

We all know how much Trump hates LA.

Still illegal and will result in another crack at getting a restraining order.

Bad time are coming fast for the USA. Do something fast or it will end badly.

Lord help us Liberate America from this Man.

Unfortunately for you, YOUR Party has lousy candidates and your favorite candidates are too chicken to run for POTUS.

Still illegal and will result in another crack at getting a restraining order.

Another crack?

A judge has ruled it NOT illegal. you don’t like it so going Judge shopping?

Is that Boasberg guy available for you?

One of their first vital missions that historians will study for decades will be to liberate some tasty Mexican food to top up the C-rations. Then go see either a Dodgers or Angels game. Deciding which LA area team to follow is a tough call that only a seasoned tactician should make.

We all know how much Trump hates LA.

most Americans hate LA at this exact moment in time.

Bunch of violent idiots burning and looting and attacking police, what’s to like? It’s embarrassing how that are acting. And dangerous.

A “peaceful” dead body was found today.

“you mean on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army?”

Which just happens to fall on Trump’s birthday. What a coincidence!

To make matters worse, Trump, a draft dodger, will host the military parade. It’s a disgrace to those in uniform and to the U.S. veterans who have bravely served. Their country. Trump hasn’t earned the right to host such an event, just the exact opposite.

He wants a civil war almost as badly as he wants a nobel prize. The difference is, he's never going to get a nobel prize short of bribing or threatening the committee, but the way he's going, a civil war isn't off the table.

On this photo many soldiers look happy and smiling, Mr Trump looks popular with US Army as he is strong leader.

most Americans hate LA at this exact moment in time.

Be precise in your wording. Most Americans who have been brainwashed into agreeing with everything Trump says hate LA at this exact moment in time.

Many others, who are not brainwashed, see LA as standing up to a man who should be deposed like the wannabe tyrant he is, and given the same treatment as was dished out to others of his kind.

 to “liberate” the West Coast city.

“We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy. That’s what they are,"

 “restoring the warrior ethos” 

Big Govt just couldn't get any bigger - well the next step is unthinkable.

Authoritarianism backed by a sledge of lies under the guise of freedom.

And here I thought the neo-cons stood for individualism, but looking more and more Soviet every day.

Channeling Don McLean -

“And as the flames climbed high into the night, To light the sacrificial rite, I saw Satan laughing with delight, The day the music died.”

Bye, Bye Mis American Pie

He's totally lost it...

Not only stumbling and falling up stairs but now his dementia is so bad he thinks he's Napoleon or Julius Caesar...

What he is, is a demented old fool living in his own small fantasy world detached from reality...like most of his supporters...

And this demented old fool has the nuclear button...

God help us...

It’s another distraction - he was losing the Musk fight, and the tariff war and had to find a way to change the narrative- same MO as always.

“We’re not a college or a university. We’re not interested in your w_ke garbage and political correctness,” Hegseth said, drawing cheers.

Interesting quote from the article (last sentence). He certainly doesn't mince his words.

Apart from the bases to be renamed, he recently announced a navy ship is to be renamed too.

Trump calls in the Marines if he sees a mouse in his kitchen at night

People have a right to demonstrate. Of course, there will be pushback against deportations.

However, the violence and arson and looting which are a consequence of these demonstrations are leading to a situation where chaos is becoming dominant

Sneaker thefts have nothing to do with human rights!

I understand the need to celebrate recognise the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, President Trump certainly labours the point.

You LA gringos need to get the message ....this is Latino Town now

We having a big round up soon.....

Why mention Joe Biden at all?

All yesterday’s news

This message will resonate with both camps, but in a very different way. To the dems they will hear their prophesied dictator president overstepping the line and becoming the boogeyman they have feared all along. Military state, minorities in danger, authoritarianism, the whole shebang.

On the other side of the fence they will see a president willing to make good on his promises to secure the border, support law enforcement and to come down heavy on the illegals, especially the dangerous ones, the bad guys who have been allowed to chip away at the foundations of the nation unchecked, represent a real threat to national security and have been taking advantage for way too long.

Politically, socially and spiritually this is fast becoming a clash between these two ( both actually necessary by the way ) mindsets. Chaos vs order, left vs right, dems vs pubs, emotions vs logic call it what you will, just hope it doesn’t lead to too much carnage. Stay safe folks. I’d be advising your young folk not to destroy their lives by catching a felony trying to act tough for the mob and to stay away from the fire. Order will prevail under this administration and the look in the eyes of those suited up to try and keep the streets safe tell the story that I see. It’s resolute.

Well look at this:

“a whopping margin of +20 points, Americans APPROVE of President Trump sending the National Guard to the LA riots, 59%-39% - InsiderAdvantage poll

This includes 56% of INDEPENDENTS, and 37% of DEMOCRATS.”

seems Senator Fetterman is right, Dems losing this one.

@itsonlyrocknroll--when you say Trump labours or belabors the point, how many of his marathon gabfest rallies have you personally taken the day off to watch in full? I bet a person could play 18 holes of golf in less time than is needed for him to laboriously riff on a simple list of topics.

Is this one of those Onion-style "we asked ten truckers at a rest stop in Nowhere, AL" kind of polls, by any chance?

Trump calls in the Marines if he sees a mouse in his kitchen at night

Hey, that's not fair. He only does it if the mouse isn't white.

Looking forward to the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. That should be one humdinger ...

At least the Olympic committee have their tagline ready to go, assuming they still intend to hold the games there.

"The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It's gonna be a riot!"

Is this one of those Onion-style "we asked ten truckers at a rest stop in Nowhere, AL" kind of polls, by any chance?

nope. But thanks for wasting my time asking something you can research.

“We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy. That’s what they are," Trump said Tuesday.

He's right. When you burn a car, stand atop and wave the flag of a foreign country as if you had conquered (the car, I guess) you are acting like an invader and enemy.

you are acting like an invader and enemy.

Like Jan 06?

"The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It's gonna be a riot!"

If trump is still around.

If trump is still around.

His family seems to have the longevity gene. Given that he seems to lead a pretty sedentary, even unhealthy, lifestyle, and live off junk food and diet coke, yet he's still around and is pushing 80, you wouldn't want to bet on him still being around in another four years. In what capacity, is another matter (King / dictator / under house arrest / full time UFC announcer, etc.)

Like Jan 06?

I don't recall seeing any Mexican flags on Jan 06. Do you?

“while repeating his false statements about the 2020 election being rigged and attacking the previous commander-in-chief, former President Joe Biden.”

I’d be embarrassed beyond belief if this whiny baby were my president.

Dictator-in-Chief.

His family seems to have the longevity gene.

One can hope that the USA citizen will be fed up with him soon or later and "fire" him.

Now there are Mexican flags flying in Chicago too.

next is violence from the “peaceful protesters” there too?

Is this one of those Onion-style "we asked ten truckers at a rest stop in Nowhere, AL" kind of polls, by any chance?

Check the latest CNN polls on immigration. Was just watching this one. In 2020 dems held a 32 point lead on which party IMMIGRANTS trusted on immigration. Latest one has and 8 point lead for republicans for the same demographic. CNN baby.

Trump is escalating to distract from Elon Musk’s Epstein accusation: “Petty And Petulant Man-Babies.” It is also part of a strategy to declare "Martial Law!"

It is part of the Project 2025! After removing any foreign people from the country who will put up a resistance from any future dictatorship. The legal citizens will be threatened, incarcerated, or both if they do not allow them to takeover.

To be fair, only African-American and Asian Americans mostly voted for Harris. Most Latinos, Whites, and ethnic groups that believe they are White voted for Trump. Trump voters are getting what they asked for. Self-harm is a real thing!

Now there are Mexican flags flying in Chicago too.

That's the thing about movements: they move. They gather momentum. They pick up speed. And eventually they get to a point where something has to give.

Blacklabel

Still illegal and will result in another crack at getting a restraining order.

Another crack? 

A judge has ruled it NOT illegal.

No, they didn’t.

Trump is already liberating Los Angeles. Law enforcement has just issued a curfew in the city.

Bass And Newsom are afraid of the federal Government and are finally doing what is correct.

America overwhelmingly has given Trump high marks on immigration and over stayers.

I remember on January 6th when MAGA insurrectionists by attacking a government building did worse to the cops than these LA rioters are doing to the cops and all got pardoned. Trump even paid off some of the rioters' families with taxpayer money.

Many others, who are not brainwashed, see LA as standing up to a man who should be deposed like the wannabe tyrant he is, and given the same treatment as was dished out to others of his kind.

Acually Angelinos are not brainwashed by the gaslighting the Mayor and Governer are saying to the people.

They finally came to the conclusion that they MUST handle this or risk being side stepped by the Federal Government. Newsom has gone silent and Bass is doing as she is told. The Federal Government will clean up this mess that the local Government has no idea what to do. A little to late though as the damage has been done.

A little to late though as the damage has been done.

spot on

Please Congress, "liberate" us from this Putin wanna-be, that is trying to destroy our democracy more each day....

He's purposely inflaming the situation in LA to distract from his own scandals and failures...

Start the impeachment now - toss him out on his orange rear end...

Why do so many people believe that fascistic wannabe fuehrers like draft-dodging Trump are "strong" leaders? Bullies (cowards) always get their comeuppance and his will bring joy and relief to millions when it comes.

Blame Trump for everything until the city falls and CA turns red.

The city had almost 1 year to prepare for this. Trump won the election largly due to his immigration policy.

What did the people think? everybody understood the mandate. Los Angeles was really not prepared for this.

Trump is one of the few Presidents that does what he said he would do, unlike the previous administration.

A quick primer for the red-state illiterates among us.

There's a difference of two letters here.

Trump is not "liberating" LA.

He is "berating" it for having the balls to stand up to his own personal gestapo.

He has no interest in "liberating" it. Why would he? He hates California. That's not even a secret.

He simply wants to look like a tough guy.

Trump's mind is totally shot...

"US President Donald Trump delivered a speech at Fort Bragg on Tuesday, as unrest continued in Los Angeles between protesters and ICE officials over his far-reaching deportation order.

During his address, Trump made a significant historical blunder, claiming that many countries had recently commemorated the end of World War I, while the US did not participate in the celebrations, despite asserting "we're the ones who won the war."

"Without us," Trump said, "You'd all be speaking German right now."

"Maybe a little Japanese thrown in. But we won the war," he added. "We're gonna celebrate on Saturday."

Whether its stumbling up stairs or mistaking WW I for WW II, this guy's brain is fried - he makes Biden look like a twenty-something...

Invoke the 25th Amendment - he's "incapacitated"...

Start the impeachment now

Hahahaha- no.

elected by the people. At the ballot box. Free and fair election.

elected by the people. At the ballot box.* *Free and fair election. Muh democracy!

Until Musk spills the beans.

Anyway, fair point though. Americans voted for a man who has turned the country into one big battleground, pitting Americans against Americans. I guess that's what they wanted.

Los Angeles will always belong to the people on the street and not ICE in their federal building or Trump in his White House.

Newsom was expecting that Democrat appointed judge to save him.

Denied! So get to arresting any and every illegal and any and every violent or non compliant “protesters”.

typical maga, getting their legal news from FOX, judge allows the use of military for now, court briefing is in 2 days, hasnt even played out in court yet, maga crying victory. remember Garcias case when he was illgeally deported to Elsalvidore, some stated he was never coming back. Where is he now LOL

A lot of bravado from a coward who dodged the draft five times. Don’t think the troops don’t know it.

He said he’s going to revert base names to confederate generals and leaders. You know, the confederacy that wanted to maintain slavery. Much to the surprise of the US Army troops who are 21% Black.

Donald Trump has dementia. It’s plain to see. He said the US Army has fought world wars, like the Civil War.

elected by the people. At the ballot box. Free and fair election. Muh democracy!

whine moar.

Does not means he is free to do as his pleased.

Like accepting a 400M bride plane.

Governments, whether in Washington or Beijing, are not in the habit of unleashing fire and fury upon peaceful citizens waving placards and singing folk songs. The real fuss tends to arise when bricks fly, Molotov cocktails light up the night, and someone mistakes a protest for a demolition derby. One mustn’t confuse the clatter of a few unruly individuals with the symphony of civic expression. 

Governments are like parents who overreact. You would know if you grew up with Chinese parents or black parents and never be entitled. A Confucian authoritarian father and a black mother, who "does not play" nor spoil, is a deadly combo.

Authorities try, rather clumsily, to restore order. While you may cry “authoritarianism!” at the sight of riot gear, I see it as an sad attempt to keep peace like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly:

Tanks tore through Tiananmen, Hong Kong held umbrellas, hope hidden in handkerchiefs

Kent St. cried crimson and college kids caught in crossfire

Watts went up in wildfire with wrath rising from racial wounds

ICE ignites indignation with Infants in iron cages; Immigrants isolated, interrogated, incarcerated

Blame Trump for everything until the city falls and CA turns red.

You do not know LA or California. It will never turn red. There is no racial or ethnic majority in LA, no dominant group. The population of California is about 39% Hispanic, 35% non-Hispanic white, 15% Asian, 5-ish % African American, 4% mixed race. Californians overwhelmingly like immigrants. Depending on the poll approval runs from 60% to 70%. California is nothing even a little bit like the rest of the US and with the world's fourth largest GDP richly deserves to be rid of the rest of the US and not restrained by the bigotry, misogyny and backwardness.

*He said he’s going to revert base names to confederate generals and leaders. You know, the confederacy that wanted to maintain slavery. *Much to the surprise of the US Army troops who are 21% Black.

Yeah, but they identify as whatever gets them a paycheck. Not hard to throw away your self respect and dignity if someone's waving a job offer in your face.

California is nothing even a little bit like the rest of the US and with the world's fourth largest GDP richly deserves to be rid of the rest of the US and not restrained by the bigotry, misogyny and backwardness.

Yes indeed.  California is the land where the sun never sets on self-confidence. Where every avocado is ethically sourced, every yoga pose is a spiritual awakening, and every Prius driver believes they’re single-handedly saving the planet.

With the world’s fourth largest GDP, Californians don’t just think they’re better than the rest of the U.S.—they’re convinced they’re better than most small countries. “We’re not like the rest of America,” they say, while importing their kale from Oregon and their spiritual guidance from Bali.

That said California will be red when Palm trees sway to country music, Berkeley students quote Ayn Rand, And Tesla Cybertrucks have “Don’t Tread on Me” bumper stickers.

When do you think we'll see the Hollywood sign spell out “Make America Great Again,” and Gavin Newsom trade his hair gel for a cowboy hat?

Not hard to throw away your self respect and dignity if someone's waving a job offer in your face.

this sounds a little…..personal.

its a good read

In what way? It was a logical enough comment.

If you choose to serve in the military, under a commander in chief who intends to rename military bases with the names of people who were in favour of slavery, then you're making a pretty clear statement about how you see yourself. Don't see what's personal about that.

Bill Maher, bless his Hollywood heart—he’s gone and said California might turn red. That’s like saying the Queen might trade Buckingham Palace for a bungalow in Bakersfield.

Imagine Los Angeles swapping oat milk for oil rigs, San Francisco replacing rainbow flags with red hats, and Malibu beachgoers quoting Ronald Reagan between surf sessions.

@slayer--a good way to turn California red would be to adopt the policy of Ronald Reagan, blanket amnesty for millions of immigrants of questionable status. Easy as putting pen to paper. There were not these big immigration-related clashes during his terms in office, so everyone except the perpetually mad MAGA would be happy.

https://www.thewrap.com/bill-maher-california-may-turn-republican-red/

Laughable. Some parts of California like where I live are as backwards and bigoted as Louisiana or Mississippi, but their populations are comparatively small. The major cities are very liberal and become moreso every year. And it is those big cities where the economic and political power lie.

Trump says he will 'liberate' Los Angeles in speech to mark the 250th anniversary of the Army

Maybe California should liberate themselves from trump?

Trump boasted in his election that Latinos and Hispanics voted for him in greater numbers.

They did. Legal ones. Who still support him.
