National Guard In DC Picking Up Trash, Not Fighting Crime
The trash is *inside* the White House, guys!
What a bargain, MAGA. Sanitation workers, move over. Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., over the president's alleged "crime emergency," claim even though violent crime is down in the city. And now, troops were seen wearing vests over their camouflage gear on Tuesday, picking up litter in Lafayette Park and performing other cleanup duties just outside the White House. The scene is disturbing as Trump has reduced the troops to a park maintenance crew.
Officials say the military was deployed as part of a "beautification and restoration mission" in Lafayette Square, the National Mall, and the Tidal Basin. Trump initially alleged that he'd deployed the National Guard to deal with the "complete and total lawlessness" in the city, even though crime rates had hit a 30-year low earlier this year in D.C.
National Guard deployments cost the US government approximately $530 per guard member each day, and Trump has them performing menial tasks. And the trash is inside the White House, where there is a stinky ass swamp filled to the brim with the worst creatures imaginable, not in Lafayette Park.
Social media users weighed in.
Oh, look, Jesse Watters is so far up Trump's rancid ass that he made this glaring disrespect of our troops into a good thing.
What in the fuck is wrong with MAGA? Also, release the Epstein Files.
