Trump cut 1 billion dollars from DC's budget which included the national parks employees who took care of the parks. Cut any money that could have gone to hiring more police for DC. Typical Trump breaking things so he can "fix" them. Works every time with MSM & his low info white whining voters.

There has to come a point in this kind of exercise where the guardsmen say something like "You know we have guns?" and suggest that they'd prefer not to be given any more stupid orders

I hate saying this but have been thinking it for a long time. DHS will leverage cooperation from mayors and governors by offering to "clean up the streets," e.g., disappearing the un-housed. Many street level business owners would not complain. Yes, this sort of stuff is "PR."
