The National Guard has already been deployed to Los Angeles, Washington and Memphis. Judges blocked the deployment of troops in Chicago and Portland. “Next we go to San Francisco,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. San Francisco is known for its problems with the homeless and drug addicts.
“I think the difference is that they want us in San Francisco. San Francisco was truly one of the greatest cities in the world. And then things went wrong fifteen years ago,” said the president. “We’re going to San Francisco and we’re going to make it great again.”
Trump has repeatedly exaggerated the extent of crime and unrest in American cities to justify the deployment of troops, which local Democratic leaders have largely opposed.
