Trump Blasts Los Angeles Protests, Vows to Restore City’s Former Glory

During a rally at Fort Bragg, President Donald Trump condemned the Los Angeles protests, framing them as a threat to order and sovereignty. He expressed dismay over the transformation of Los Angeles, from a thriving city to a ‘trash heap’. Trump blamed ‘uncontrolled migration’ for the city’s perceived downfall, further vowing to ‘liberate’ Los Angeles. He singled out California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for criticism, alleging they were supporting the protesters. Recent reports indicate that Trump has deployed additional National Guard troops to Los Angeles amidst ongoing clashes between protesters and immigration authorities following ICE raids, leading to arrests and heightened tensions.
