Yup! This isn't about crime. I'm seeing this as Tr*mp moving to protect DC as he plans to do something else requiring that protection.

The biggest liability any Trump plan has is that Trump was involved at any stage in the planning. He wants to be the boss but he lacks the attn span to actually do a boss's job.

He is set to do this in 19 more cities. He is positioning his forces. Mark my words.

My husband stepped down when, as a National Guard member he was asked to do riot control at the time of Kent State. Guard Members be on the right side of history!!!

It'll be okay up until the point that when they do start carrying weapons and someone gets punchy and shoots someone's mother. If it is an innocent white mother, then all hell will break loose, and the bunker will be the best friend to the great orange King.
