Donald I, emperor of the world.

Trump writes on Truth Social. "If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated."

No hyperbole there at all.

Didn't he write something like that before the national guard had actually got there?

He said something about sending the marines in, and how the National Guard had done a great job (before they got there) but hadn't went as far as "obliterated".

He's also said he's support arresting the governor of California. He's flirting with much more unrest if he does that.

Manufacturing a crisis to take on absolute power, sounds familiar

We've just reported that 700 Marines have been activated to the Los Angeles area to "provide continuous coverage of the area".
The statement confirming the deployment, external says the Marines will "seamlessly integrate" with forces on the ground who are protecting "federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area".
The activation is to provide "adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage" of the area "in support of the lead federal agency"."

Who knows where it goes from here?
