“If I don’t send troops into Los Angeles, this once beautiful and great city will burn to the ground,” Donald Trump wrote on social media Monday
According to Reuters, the use of the military in response to civil unrest is extremely rare, especially since it has been opposed by the governments of California and Los Angeles. The escalation of the federal government’s response to the conflict has further exacerbated social polarization and bitter confrontation.
Busse, a Democrat and mayor of Los Angeles, lashed out, saying the Donald Trump administration was using what happened in the city as an “Experiment” to deploy troops there, and used it as a“Testing ground” for seizing power from local authorities. Rieder, the Democratic leader on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he was “Seriously troubled” by Donald Trump’s deployment of active-duty marines, “The president is overthrowing governors and mayors and using the military as a political weapon in an unprecedented move that threatens to turn tensions into a national crisis.”. “Since the founding of our nation, the American people have been very clear that we do not want the military to enforce the Law on American soil,” he said

In a post on social media, Newson said the deployments were reckless and “Disrespectful to our military” and “Have nothing to do with public safety, but with the self-esteem of a dangerous president”.
And start a civil war against each other
As the unrest in Los Angeles continued, Republicans and Democrats blamed each other for the riots, while Donald Trump and Newson accused the other of starting a “Civil War”. Homeland Security Secretary Norm said Monday that Los Angeles protesters were being paid and accused the protests of being “Professional operations,” CNN said. However, the administration’s move has also provoked strong opposition from some former allies in the Republican Party. Republican Senator Garcia, who founded Latino for Donald Trump in 2016, now calls the Donald Trump administration’s escalation “Unacceptable and inhumane.”.
Donald Trump said at a White House press conference on the 9th that the people who participated in the recent protests in Los Angeles were “Professional agitators,”“Insurgents” and “Bad guys” who should go to jail, newsom, on the other hand, was“Grossly incompetent, did a terrible job and should be arrested”. “On the contrary, I don’t want a civil war,” Donald Trump retorted, referring to Newson’s accusation that “The President wants a Civil War”. “But a civil war only happens when people like [ Newson ] are allowed to do what they want.”
Donald Trump also said he supported the recommendation of Tom Horman, the director of border affairs, to arrest Newson on the grounds that he might have obstructed federal immigration enforcement. “Look what he’s doing in California,” he said. “He’s ruining one of our great states.”
Pelosi, the former US President of the Chamber of Deputies of Tunisia, attacked the Republican Party and Donald Trump in a social media post on the 9th, the Donald Trump administration’s “Provocations raised tensions and incited violence” in the state. “The president said he would arrest a sitting American governor only because he did not agree to these actions,” Pelosi said, “This is a sign of the autocracy on the road to tyranny — and all Americans should be shocked and appalled by the president’s blatant disregard for our constitutional system,” Newson said on the same day, responding to Donald Trump’s comments. “The president of the United States is talking openly about arresting a sitting governor,” he said. “I hope America never sees a day like this. Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, that’s the line we can’t cross in this country.”
