After knowing the one made with artificial intelligence (AI) with which the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has spoken about those that this weekend have taken each and every one of the 50 states under the motto that they do not want kings in the White House; There was little doubt that their position would be to completely ignore the mass demonstrations. In said video, he can be seen piloting a fighter plane spreading what appears to be mud or manure on protesters. Just a few hours later, the man behind the Oval Office desk has gone from ‘joke’ to .
If part of these demonstrations had a lot to do with his migrant hunting policies, an issue that has been brought with special emphasis to the Democratic authorities, Trump has announced a new stop in a progressive bastion. He has put the pin on what Republicans consider another sanctuary city for migrants: San Francisco (California). He has also taken the opportunity to ironically say that “people love us” and that there are “beautiful black women with MAGA caps all over the city.”
“[San Francisco] 15 years ago it went wrong, it became ‘woke'”
Donald Trump, 45th and 47th president of the United States
At the moment, Trump has not clarified whether it will be the federal ICE (Immigration) forces that will be deployed or if that includes National Guard soldiers on the ground, as has happened in Los Angeles, Chicago or Washington. This Sunday and in an interview with his leading media, Fox NewsTrump has slipped that now playing “makes the city great” Golden Gate. He has done so by ensuring that “we will go to San Francisco”, without wasting the opportunity to sneak in his Trumpist rhetoric. Well, ‘Frisco’ “was really one of the great cities in the world,” but “15 years ago it went wrong, it became ‘woke’.”
Another challenge at Gavin Newsom’s door: “Don’t forget, I can use the Insurrection Act”
The truth is that Trump has made it clear what the path will be in the event that a judge – as has happened in all previous cases – provisionally suspends the decision on an ICE deployment – or orders that local or state authorities collaborate with Immigration – or on an eventual National Guard operation. “What is happening with the judges is terrible,” lamented the president who was told that same day by 7 million people that they do not want presidents with the pretensions of monarchs. “But don’t forget, I can use the Insurrection Act,” Trump dropped.
“That is an indisputable power,” Trump said about the possibility of invoking said rule, ensuring that “almost 50% of presidents have used it,” but in his case “I choose not to do it, I prefer to do this.” However, the US president makes clear that to justify what he calls the fight against criminals and drug trafficking, he has been invoking laws that are more than two centuries old and used during major war conflicts.
It should be noted that one of the greatest emerging figures in the Democratic Party and whom many see as one of the few with the possibility of beating Trump – actually Trump’s successor who takes the reins of the MAGA universe – is the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who has made the fight against Trump’s migrant raids one of his banners. Going for San Francisco means going for the second great Californian plaza after what happened in the City of Stars.
Thus, Trump has insisted in his interview with the conservative media that “cities that are governed exclusively by Democrats are practically unsafe, they are a disaster” and that, in his opinion, “these cities have to be safe.” Therefore, he has committed himself to “save” them. Although the citizens of Los Angeles and Chicago already know that this translates into detentions without guarantees and a growing number of people who practice them illegally – without being law enforcement officers – to get paid for denouncing or handing over a migrant.
