Trump describes Los Angeles’s protests as a “foreign invasion” to justify the sending of troops | International | EUROtoday

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, went to the Fort Bragg Barracks on Tuesday, in North Carolina, on the event of the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. The president took benefit of his speech earlier than the navy to explain as a “foreign invasion” the protests which are going down in Los Angeles final days. Trump has exaggerated the seriousness of the information to take one other step in his authoritarian drift, mobilizing about 2,000 members of the National Guard and about 700 Marines. “We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy,” he mentioned, inventing a non -existent battle.

Presenting as commander in chief and earlier than a navy listening to, the president launched a partisan message, attacking the Democratic authorities and defending his legislative agenda, in a very distant intervention from any institutional character. As if it had been a rally, pulled by the troopers, he defended, for instance, the tax exemption to the ideas he promised within the marketing campaign and propagated once more the bulle that the 2020 elections had been stolen, a defeat that also doesn’t settle for.

“Have you heard that I have deployed thousands of National Guard and hundreds of Marines to protect federal order forces from the attacks of a violent and ruthless mob and some left -wing radicals?” Trump requested the troopers.

“Generations of army heroes did not shed their blood in distant coasts just to see how our country is destroyed by the invasion and anarchy of the Third World here at home, as is happening in California. As commander in chief, I will not allow that to happen,” he mentioned, even if the protests have been very localized, the harm to the property has been restricted and there’s no mortal.

“What they are witnessing in California is a full -fledged attack against peace, public order and national sovereignty carried out by rioters who fly foreign flags with the aim of continuing the foreign invasion of our country. We will not allow that to happen. Remember, the entrance to our country was allowed to our country without any control or investigation by stupid people, radical of the left or sick. The Republican insisted on his hyperbolic message.

According to Trump, the entire city of Los Angeles would be burning and reduced to his ashes if he had not sent to the troops, although the protests have been mostly peaceful, the isolated violent incidents and the national guards sent have barely had any role.

He also pointed out without any basis that those who participate in the protests are paid: “These guys are professionals. They usually are not followers,” he said.

“They carry [bombas de hormigón] To the bridges and throw them to the cars that pass, like animals. They proudly carry the flags of other countries, but do not carry the American flag. They only burn it, ”he described. Many of the protesters wave flags of Mexico.“ They were not burned by people from our country or people who love our country. The people who burned the American flag should go to jail for a year, ”he said, despite burning the flag is recognized in the United States as an exercise of freedom of expression protected by the Constitution.

“The agitators are launching incendiary bombs, Molotov cocktails, burning autos,” he continued, emphasizing each of the violent incidents that have occurred.

The president insisted again and again on the xenophobic message that gave him so good in the elections of November 5, 2024, racing his way to the White House. “Many of these individuals had been introduced right here by the Biden Administration. They had been introduced right here. They got here from prisons. They got here from prisons from around the globe. They got here from psychological establishments. They had been gang leaders. They had been drug lords. They had been allowed to enter our nation. Their nations threw them out. Their nations took them by bus or by automobile to our border and advised them: ‘Enter and if you happen to return, we are going to kill you. Word by phrase the narrative created to your marketing campaign rallies.

The president praised the forces of the order which are intervening in Los Angeles. “They are heroes. They are there, fighting for us. They are stopping an invasion, just as you would stop an invasion. The big difference is that, most of the time, when you stop an invasion, the invaders carry uniform. In many ways, it is more difficult when they do not have uniform, because you do not know exactly who they are,” he mentioned.
