Those troops are their to make us look bad.

Those troops are there to pretend that the government and nation need to be protected from Trump supporters who will overrun the capitol in the blink of an eye.

That is the optics from the left and folks are eating it up.

We are now the bad guy terrorist extremist... fucking bullshit.

Whose command are they under if this is the case?

Trump wouldn't authorize this many for their optics game.

Trump doesn't deal with unit movements and things of that nature, his orders are high level, not something like this.

I think Trump COULD theoretically tell all those troops to leave Washington, but impeachment hearings are coming up, he doesn't dare do that.

Would he not have to ok that many national guards coming into DC? What about the ones they made marshals?

Are those not actions Trump himself would've had to order?

The mayor doesn't have that authority.
