If Trump had the smallest amount of respect for the military other than as a personal prop for his political theater, they wouldn’t have been there. Men join the guard with the assumption that the commander in chief will utilize their skills wisely.

Speaker Johnson, do you care to comment?
GOP has no values, patriotism, or fiscal skills at all. Their only interest in religion is in perverting and twisting it into a political weapon to help fulfill their greed for $ and power.

What we know for sure is FELON/Adjudicated RAPIST Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump unnecessarily put #NationalGuard in danger.
This wouldn't be happening now under a President @kamalaharris.com.
And now Trump wants our U.S. military to risk their lives so the extreme wealthy can control #Venezuela oil.

WTF. Send them home!!!

Sad. These poor soldiers should have been home, with their families on Thanksgiving, not picking up garbage and landscaping in DC. How humiliating. We should hold Trump accountable for this.

Send them all home, NOW!

He’s an attention whore.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

It woulda never happened if Kamala or Obama were president. This is trumps fault.
These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Trump has f*cked us. He inherited a robust economy from Biden/Harris and put his stupid all over it while profiting himself. Job losses racking up. Unemployment increasing. Grocery, utilities, and healthcare costs up. The only people who can afford this greatness are the billionaires. Had enough?

Does sound like another paid instigated event.
Call me suspicious, but the morning after Noem gets thrown under the bus for illegally deporting people? Feels like distraction coupled with Trump’s need to hurry up and get the insurrection act going.
The shooting occurred in downtown Washington, DC, near the White House. DC Metropolitan Police said on X that they are at the scene of a shooting in the area and advised people to avoid the area.

You’re not in a democracy anymore. They did away with woke so blackmail, violence, intimidation, hateful cruelty, dishonesty and corruption are America’s non woke values.

If he does…I will have to assume that he had them shot.
Two National Guard members were shot near the White House...

Just what Trump wants: to impoverish Americans.
Americans are paying 11% more for electricity than they were at the beginning on this year.

And these rising electricity prices means more people are unable to pay, so more people are getting their power shutoff.
