False Claim: President Trump’s Federalized National Guard De-escalated the situation in Los Angeles
Claim
Trump's commandeered California National Guard units were the reason the situation in Los Angeles on Saturday night (June 7) was successfully de-escalated.
Fact
The National Guard President Trump federalized was not deployed on the ground when he posted this.
But it was actually LAPD — debunking his own excuse for deploying troops in the first place.
More Lies ...
False: On June 10, President Trump told press he spoke with the Governor “a day ago”
President Trump called the Governor once, on the night of Friday, June 7 – not “a day ago.”
President Trump DID NOT tell the Governor to “get his ass in gear” during his phone call on June 7th, 2025.
The President did not mention sending the National Guard into California at any point.
False: Videos from Los Angeles prove National Guard and Marines needed to stop violence
These videos are from separate events, not June 2025 in Los Angeles.
