Donald Trump just watched as his armed supporters violently attacked Capitol police and tried to assassinate his VP and Speaker Pelosi. But now, years later, he's ordered FBI and National Guard to DC.

On January 6th, 2021, Donald Trump was MIA. He deserted his troops. Or maybe even worse, as accused, he incited his supporters and then played possum as they violently attacked U.S. Capitol police in a deadly assault.

Yes, white-livered, draft-dodging Donald Trump just sat and watched as his armed supporters violently attacked Capitol police and tried to assassinate his then VP Mike Pence and then Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Donald Trump’s own party members were terrified on that day in the Capitol. They begged him for help. But Donald Trump did not show up for them.

Yet now, years later, he's ordered FBI and National Guard to DC.

DC’s violent crime rate has plunged, so Donald Trump thought this was the time to send in the troops.

And because this is Missing in Action, draft-dodging Donald Trump, he might have sent the troops where they are not needed.

“The national mall is not where the crime happens in DC,” past prosecutor Dan Riffle wrote on X above Hall’s tweet.

And because this is Donald Trump, it’s all very confusing and chaotic and unnecessary and — what’s that? Yes, a desperate distraction from the fact that he had his name redacted from Epstein-related documents “numerous” times.

Here is Trump echoing 1/6 by saying that he is taking the Capitol back:

FBI special agents combed through more than 100,000 Epstein-related documents at FBI Director Kash Patel’s order, looking for Trump’s name, according to Bloomberg’s “FOIA Files” newsletter by Jason Leopold. Donald Trump’s name was redacted “numerous” times.

Please, look over here where Trump is taking on dwindling violent crime rates in DC. Please see Trump as a strongman and not as someone so pathetic and disgusting that he has ordered the FBI to use your tax dollars to comb through the Epstein Files on your time to look for his name because he was besties with so many human traffickers, and is all over the Epstein documents like one might expect someone found liable by a jury of their peers for rape might be.

“The U.S. military is preparing to activate National Guard troops in the nation’s capital as part of President Trump’s campaign against crime there, a Defense Department official said. The president was expected to announce at a White House news conference on Monday that up to several hundred District of Columbia National Guard personnel will be sent to support law enforcement officers in the city, the official said. Though crime rates in Washington, D.C., have been falling, Mr. Trump has claimed that they are “totally out of control” and has threatened a federal takeover,” the New York Times reported Monday morning.

We have DEA with a show of force against peaceful joggers at the National Mall, maybe unrelated.

Trump announced with great fanfare that he is deploying up to 1,000 National Guard troops to D.C. to combat the lowered violent crime rates.

If there’s one thing Trump can’t stand, it’s less violence. Oh, and his name all over the Epstein files.

Crime rates in Washington, D.C. have generally been trending downward in recent years, particularly for violent crime, so Donald Trump is sending in the troops.
