Guard Reveals How Much People Hate Trump's D.C. Crackdown [View all]
The National Guard mistakenly sent an internal sentiment analysis to a newspaper, showing that most reactions to Trump’s D.C. takeover are adverse and risks widening a rift between troops and civilians.
Internal documents assessing news coverage and social media describe residents’ alarm, being a “wedge between citizens and the military,” according to The Washington Post, which inadvertently received them.
Veterans and troops view the deployment “with shame and alarm,” the documents read.
A Guard official acknowledged the assessment’s authenticity and said it was inadvertently emailed to the Post. It is unclear how many others received it.
The analysis found that social posts about the deployment were 53 percent negative, 45 percent neutral, and 2 percent positive.
