The president of the United States, Donald Trump, went to the Fort Bragg Barracks on Tuesday, in North Carolina, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. The president took advantage of his intervention against the military to describe as a “foreign invasion” Trump has exaggerated the seriousness of the events 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 said, inventing a non -existent war.
Presenting as commander in chief and before a military hearing, the president launched a partisan message, attacking the Democratic authorities and defending his legislative agenda, in a completely remote intervention from any institutional character. As if it were a rally, pulled by the soldiers, he defended, for example, the tax exemption to the tips he promised in the campaign and propagated again the bulle that the 2020 elections were stolen, a defeat that still does not accept.
“Have you heard that and hundreds of marines to protect federal forces from the attacks of a violent and ruthless mob and some left -wing radicals?” Trump asked the soldiers.
“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 said, despite the fact that the protests have been very localized, the damage to the property has been limited and there is 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 are not fans,” 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.” They were not burned by people from our country or people who love our country. The people who burned the US 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 vehicles, ”he continued, putting the accent on 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 those people were brought here by the Biden Administration. They were brought here. They came from prisons. They came from prisons from around the world. They came from mental institutions. They were gang leaders. They were drug lords. They were allowed to enter our country. Their countries threw them out. Their countries took them by bus or by car to our border and told them: ‘Enter and if you return, we will kill you. Word by word the narrative created for your campaign rallies.
The president praised the forces of the order that 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 said.
