5,000 National Guard troops will be deployed for Trump swearing in

Washington Examiner : Washington is beefing up security in the run up to President-elect Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, including the deployment of 5,000 National Guard troops downtown amid security concerns.

Mayor Muriel Bowser said despite increased security concerns, the city is prepared and ready for the event, she said Friday at a press conference with U.S. Secret Service and other security forces.

“We prepare for the biggest number possible,” Bowser said. Secret Service special agent Brian Ebert said the Washington field office is “well-prepared and ready for this inauguration.” Β more here

  1. I’ll bet money he has a price on his head. This Man NEEDS to be protected. Thank God he kept his original security detail. I’ve heard reports that his detail is banging heads with the secret service. I hope he keeps trusting his people.

  2. The left has been spending millions and weeks drumming up violence against Trump and now since the city has to react to the threats the left will now claim that military in the streets is just the first step in a fascist takeover. Do the country a favour, find a liberal and punch them in the mouth on general principle.

  3. There will be angelic Heavenly hosts commanded by God himself, protecting Mr. Trump and his family. The death threats are so great, Archangel Michael (BTW, my avatar image) may have to be present during the inaguaration and beyond.

  4. the Left is too cowardly for actual confrontation that might result in actual physical violence upon themselves

    the biggest problem will be Hill & Bill having to be frisked for pilfering, once again, White House silverware at the reception

  5. Not only do the swamp rat pols and the globalists own that he has a price on his head, but the media does to an even greater extent. They are the ones jacking up the crazies.

    Pray for him with such intensity as if he were one of your own parents or children.

  6. I feel for the troops. They’ll be bussed in and treated
    like shit, then bussed out and treated like shit. That’s
    gonna be a long day.
    What’s their ROE? Are they even going with loaded magazines?

    I doubt it.

  7. The key difference between him and the one leaving is they’ll have the bolts in their rifles.

    O and Billy did mot trust the Marines with the ability to fire near them.

    Concerned they might fulfill their oaths.

  8. There was an article in Ace earlier today mentioning that some lefties were buying guns. Fine. They’ll eventually have to learn how to use them. So if they go to ranges they’ll have no choice but to rub elbows with other gun owners. Mainly, us. Let the small talk fly. They’ll realize we’re not “Hitleresque” as they proclaim us to be. And they’ll also realize that the gubmint that wants to take away their guns are now their enemies.

  9. Whatever happens, we should hold the 1000 biggest contributors (and everyone that works for them, as most will be corporations) to Hillary’s campaign personally responsible for it.

  10. In addition to the 5,000 National Guard troops being deployed in the city, 3,000 security officers from multiple jurisdiction will also be on the ground, according to security officials.

    The city’s interim police chief, Peter Newsham, said the city is ready for all contingencies and is monitoring social media to track activists and others looking to disrupt the 58th inauguration.

    “Some folks that are indicating on social media that they’re coming to shut down the inauguration or the events,” Police Chief Newsham said. “[It] is something that we will be prepared for.”

  11. Sad thing is, it only takes one lone crazy sniper hiding somewhere to do the damage no matter how much security you have. May the Lord watch over trump on that day and every day.
