President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he’s withdrawing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland but left the door open to sending federal forces “in a much different and stronger form.”

His announcement comes after the US Supreme Court last week rejected his request to allow him to deploy the guard to Chicago to protect ICE agents as part of the administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

“We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, arguing that those cities would be “gone if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in.”

    I’m not the one who argued with me in the first place – you were. Now, who is up whose arse?

    And, why did all those reservists and NGs serve in Iraq (for fucking years beyond the normal terms), again? I mean, we have more numbers??? And, why did we get our asses handed to us in Viet Nam by a much smaller force with inferior weapons?

    Just admit it dude … you got flanked and this is the best you can do to save face 😆

    ps … maybe you’ll think twice next time before shooting your mouth off arguing with someone who argues for a living.
