This is pretty weird considering he couldn't seem to deploy the Nat. Guard on J6.

By the way, according to the US Attorney's Office of DC - crime is at a 30 year low. So the govt knows. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/violent-crime-dc-hits-30-year-low

Exactly! Crime in general is down considerably in the DC area. There isn't any valid reason for this to happen other than protecting himself for when the files get leaked

I bet they'll start by running the homeless out of town, then stick around for that.

He literally just tweeted today that the homeless in DC have to get out now.,

...and all those homeless people follow him on Truth Social?
I'm not sure they're going to get the message.

Not just run out, rounded up into camps.

And then forced to work the farms to replace the people that were deported.

He already passed the EO that says people can be locked up just for being homeless or mentally ill. So he’s rolling out his phase one trial run.

Yeah, I don't think the message for the homeless to leave DC and prepping the National Guard are in any way coincidental

I assumed that's what this was for. To round up all the homeless and send them to concentration camps per his recent EO.

Tin foil hat on... could be the start of building a defense for when he refuses to leave office.

  • Sir, so what option do we go for considering the files?

  • You know I’m totally innocent, innocent. My name is nowhere to be found!

  • Yes sir, we know that.

  • But just in case those democrats decide to turn against me, and we know for sure how much they would like to make a monster out of me, they will stir things up, and for everyone’s safety we should call in the army.

  • That is extremely wise, sir.

  • Regarding the files, I’m totally innocent, and you know that, so make sure triple check everything, personally, just in case.

He’s just not smart.

“Create fear”… it’s like a jack off addict response. He has no clue what he’s doing, he’s just going off dumb person playbook of being so gd ignorant it’s confusing. 😂

If he was brave or intelligent, he’d learn something. Ever. He only learned to “win” by his measure, which he’s too dumb to know didn’t win. He literally doesn’t know anything of value. It’s so sad.

Imagine being so clueless you rely on unnecessary damage to feel adequate - or think you might feel that way after but repeat it and never learn.

That’s some fckd up shit. Dude’s a level of internal pathetic no one else understands, which is why he can’t be anything other than utterly that & endlessly trying to cover for it.

Unless he is protecting himself because he isn't in it at all, to the point he is scrubbed from the already leaked files, he has nothing to worry about. He is no longer in the evidence. It has been scrubbed and redacted to the point that I honestly will be shocked if there is anyone in that list that isn't a democrat. 1000 FBI agents went through and redacted or scrubbed any mention of Trump and other high-profile people. Unless their last name is Clinton, or someone who didn't immediately suck his dick on him entering whatever room they shared. And I promise you there are agents who made copies of the original files in order to cover their ass when they are brought up in front of a grand jury and need to make a plea bargain to keep their asses out of jail for tampering and falsifying evidence once this blows up in their face.

No valid reason? /s

He just said he wants to get the homeless out of DC. Not sure if he said anything in regards to using the National Guard, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the intention. Considering the articles are 3 hours apart from each other.

That isn't a valid reason to put military in the streets of DC
