Trump Weighs Invoking Insurrection Act

President Donald Trump on Tuesday responded to questions about whether he is considering invoking the Insurrection Act in response to ongoing unrest in Los Angeles.

“If there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We'll see,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office before heading to North Carolina to deliver a speech at Fort Bragg.

“I could tell you there were certain areas of Los Angeles that you could have called it an insurrection,” Trump said. “It was terrible. But these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid troublemakers. They get money.”

Trump spoke about the deployment of the National Guard and Marines to quell unrest and prevent further damage, criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The president said that if he hadn’t intervened and sent forces there, Los Angeles would be “on fire” and “burning down” right now.

He said the National Guard will remain in Los Angeles “until there's no danger.”

Trump also said any protesters disrupting the June 14 Army parade in Washington will be met with “very big force.”
