Trump v Newsom On The LA Riots
California Governor calls President Trump “deranged” as more troops are sent to LA.
Today, the clash between Governor Newsom and President Trump escalates as LA protests enter day four.
A defence official has told the ѿý's US partner CBS that approximately 2,100 members of the California National Guard are now on location in the greater Los Angeles area, with 700 Marines also in and around the city. Newsom called it “the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial president,” while Trump claimed LA “would be burning to the ground” without his intervention.
