President Trump delivered a powerful message to reporters at Joint Base Andrews upon returning from Fort Bragg, where he addressed the ongoing chaos in Los Angeles. While the liberal media continues to downplay the violence, Trump exposed the truth: these rioters are not peaceful protesters but well-organized insurrectionists, likely funded by shadowy forces. “Somebody is paying for that,” Trump declared. “I watched total professionals. He’s banging the curb, banging the granite, banging the concrete. And he had a whole group of people—they lined up like totally professional—grabbed the big chunks, and they dropped it on the soldiers. They dropped it on the Los Angeles Police.”
The Gateway Pundit has extensively documented how leftist agitators and foreign invaders have turned Los Angeles into a warzone, forcing Trump to deploy the National Guard and 700 Marines to restore order. Yet, instead of supporting law and order, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom and failed LA Mayor Karen Bass have shamelessly blamed Trump for the violence—even suing to stop federal troops from protecting the city. The President fired back, stating, “If I didn’t send federal troops in, Los Angeles would be burning down right now.”
When pressed on whether military involvement could escalate tensions, Trump confidently asserted, “It can only go right. By having the military, it de-escalates.” He emphasized that these rioters are not spontaneous demonstrators but paid agitators. “These people are agitators, they’re troublemakers, I believe many of them are paid.”
The Department of Justice, under Trump’s leadership, is now investigating who is bankrolling this insurrection. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a black pickup truck was seen distributing masks and riot gear to protesters—clear evidence of coordination. “Somebody’s financing it, and we’re going to find out through Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice who it is,” Trump vowed. “Under the Trump administration, this anarchy will not stand. We will not allow federal agents to be attacked, and we will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.”
Meanwhile, the liberal media continues to push a false narrative, portraying these violent rioters as “peaceful protesters” while ignoring the destruction they’ve caused. Where was this outrage when Trump supporters on January 6 were labeled “insurrectionists” for merely walking through the Capitol? The hypocrisy is staggering.
Trump also called out Newsom’s lies about their phone conversation, releasing proof from phone records that he did, in fact, warn the governor about the impending disaster. “The proof was from the phone company,” Trump said. “I told him he’s got to get his act together, because you’re going to have some bad times in Los Angeles.”
The President’s decisive action stands in stark contrast to the weakness of Democrat leaders who have allowed their cities to burn. If the chaos continues, Trump has made it clear he will invoke the Insurrection Act—a move every patriotic American should support.
