Wishing the injured National Guard a full recovery. No one signs up to be used as political pawns.
Nov 20 - a judge ruled Trump’s deployment was illegal. The court blocked him from sending troops into the District, with a 21 day pause for appeal.
Bottom line: the Guard shouldn’t have been in DC.

If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔
