He really has no other response. The answer for everything is more armed troops.

Maybe his "solution" is that it WON'T work, so his only option is Martial Law.

He's clearly unable to "lead" or "govern" or whatever the hell he's supposed to be doing in between rounds of golf.

DC already is crawling with cops and NG, didn't prevent the shooting. Might make Kegbreath feel like his dick is a little bigger, though.

He got them shot, and for nothing.

The Dotard is now doing what he always does: create a problem, then claim the way to fix the problem is to do more of the same, then declare the problem solved despite accomplishing nothing (but creating downsides).

who came in during Biden's administration. Right.

Wonder if he's ALSO planning on examining all those immigrants he's trying to write special immigration EXCEPTIONS for, so they can work at Mar-ya-Luego for next to nothing?

If we just got an ethical, not-morally-challenged MD in the White House. One who would admit he needs to be institutionalized and indicted for his lifetime of crimes.
