The national guard is under the complete control of the president. The governor can deploy them.

But the President at anytime can take control over those units. Governors act like a commander. But the President is the commander and chief.

That being said, If Trump didn't want the national guard they wouldn't be. There is ~15,000 soldiers in DC ( not fucking normal ) the only reason why they would be there is if Trump wants them there. Trump wouldn't designate an emergency in DC if it wasn't in his favor.

Anyone who claims to be close to the president who hasn't back stabbed him says he will be president for the next four years. Anyone who claims that has been silenced to include the Q people.

One thing I know is Trump seems to always have a Plan. I have faith he does and I'll follow that plan.

Trump has designated like a dozen emergencies in the last six months alone. The mayor wrote him a letter asking him to approve it. Like she has before. This isn’t even news to anyone in Va/dc. Yeah it’s a lot of NG but was lots over summer and at all inaugurations. Plus they are beefing up in case of more activity. Dont even get why ppl are acting like this is a thing. Smh.

Not a handshaker and they're right. Not to say Trump couldn't take charge of the troops but having a lot of NG in town for an inauguration is normal.
