The events in the US state of California had nothing to do with peaceful demonstrations, and Los Angeles would have been destroyed if not for the timely arrival of federal law enforcement units, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, APA reports citing TASS.
"We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated," Trump said.
He accused California Governor David Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of incompetence. In his opinion, they should have told him "Thank you, President Trump, you are so wonderful. We would be nothing without you, sir."
"Instead, they choose to lie to the People of California and America by saying that we weren’t needed, and that these are "peaceful protests." Just one look at the pictures and videos of the Violence and Destruction tells you all you have to know. We will always do what is needed to keep our Citizens SAFE, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote.
