President Donald Trump threatened to send more than the National Guard to "troubled" U.S. cities, a potential escalation from deploying troops where mayors and governors have opposed them in disputes that have reached the Supreme Court.
Were sending in our National Guard and if we need more than the National Guard, well send more than the National Guard because were going to have safe cities, Trump said Oct. 28 at a U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, Japan, during his weeklong Asia trip. Were not going to have people killed in our cities. Whether people like that or not, thats what were doing."
Trump didnt specify what the escalation would mean and which cities he is targeting.
Trump has deployed the national guard to cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and Memphis to quell protests against stricter immigration enforcement. But mayors and governors from all but Memphis have opposed the deployments and challenged them in federal courts with mixed results.

Im sorry but its human nature.
Aside from the river of guns we are swimming in
.
Whats the best idea on how to do that?
Lack of social interaction- we were practically completely shutdown in 2020. Opening up into 2021

I know elected officials want to be aspirational but theres also reality.
