Has any reporter had the guts to ask Donald Trump why he thinks Canada should be the 51st state but Washington DC and/or Puerto Rico shouldn’t?

Again…why does the nationality, race, or religion of a suspect determine if something is considered terrorism or not? This has always seemed crazy to me.

National guard shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
The suspect has been identified as an Afghan national.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?
I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

This is the downside of a mayor not aggressively pushing back on deployment against the law without an emergency. No one should be killed just doing their jobs, especially when the job is not necessary.

I haven’t checked. Does anyone know how many members of the military have been randomly shot in DC in the last 50 years prior to being deployed to walk around DC by Donald Trump?

Yes, let’s add more random national guard to DC for no reason to walk around and do nothing.
Make it make sense.
