'LOS ANGELES' MESSAGE FROM BEHIND BULLET-PROOF GLASS

Speaking from behind bullet-proof glass, Trump gave striking messages regarding the immigrant protests in Los Angeles, California.

Trump's statements are as follows:

"IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE U.S., EVERYONE WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN RIGHT NOW"

"We are facing a very powerful army. The U.S. army is a very powerful army. If it weren't for the U.S., everyone would be speaking German right now. Maybe we would be speaking a little Japanese. But we won the war. Of course, we will celebrate, and we will do that on Saturday. From now on, we will start celebrating our greatness. We will continue to celebrate the American army, the strongest army in the history of the world. For two and a half centuries, our army has continued to walk through the fires of the battlefield, destroying its enemies. Such power has never been seen before, and for four years, we provided you with a lot of money. Now we have arranged the largest budget ever allocated for military operations. We have set a budget of over one trillion dollars.

"EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO FIGHT THE AMERICAN ARMY HAS BEEN DESTROYED"

However, our army has faced many empires and many terrorist organizations in difficult situations. Our soldiers do not stop until they win. Since 1775, everyone who has tried to fight the American army has been destroyed. They learned the hard way how dominant the American army is. Anyone who dared to threaten America, the American people, and the American army found the full force of the American army against them and was destroyed. Yes, it doesn't sound very pleasant, but that's what happened.

"WE CALL THIS PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH"

And right now, we have heard the sounds of ammunition exploding like thunder for years, and our battalions will continue to march like never before. Yes, I can keep you out of this, but when needed, you are ready, and we call this peace through strength.

"OUR ARMY EXISTED BEFORE OUR COUNTRY"

For our enemies, there is no greater source of fear than our army. The greatest power in the world, the largest armed forces, and we continue to add to it. It took five years to defeat ISIS, but we did it in four weeks, and unlike other leaders, I kept going. This was truly a great source of pride for us. As the noble guardians of American justice and American freedom, we want the 'American army' again. Our army is truly number one. Our army existed before our country. And we have been able to say this proudly for 250 years. We are free because you are so strong. Your strength, your courage is what allows the American flag to wave in the skies. America will not fail as long as you are strong. And every day, your success plays a very important role in the survival of our country.

"WHAT WE WITNESSED IN CALIFORNIA IS A TOTAL ATTACK ON OUR COUNTRY"

I want to talk about the situation in Los Angeles, California, first. We sent thousands of National Guards here. We want to protect ourselves from the attack of a terrible gang. Radical left. They don't want me to say this, of course; they don't like this rhetoric. They say we didn't do this, we didn't burn our homes. If I am at the head of this army, I will not allow it. Yes, what we witnessed in California is a total attack on our country.

"FOREIGN FORCES ARE OCCUPYING OUR COUNTRY"

They are attacking our flags, and foreign forces are currently occupying our country. Yes, for years, you know, they entered without any oversight, from abroad, with immigrant status, without being checked. This was, of course, a very foolish policy. It was as foolish as men competing in women's sports. In fact, it was even more foolish than that. They broke the sidewalks. Because they wanted to throw those bricks at our soldiers and police. But our soldiers managed to suppress this strongly.

"THOSE WHO BURN THE U.S. FLAG SHOULD GO TO JAIL, WE ARE WORKING ON THIS"

Yes, when they were brought to Brickson, they had hammers in their hands. They were hitting the sidewalks. I said, 'What are they doing?' And we saw that they were breaking the sidewalks. And they were trying to turn it into a concrete bomb. They were quite strong, by the way. They were throwing them very solidly. It wasn't like throwing a random brick. They were throwing them on cars. These are really animals. Yes, they didn't hesitate to carry the flags of other countries. But I didn't see anyone carrying the American flag. We also saw the burned flags. Those who burned those flags were not the people of our country. Those who burn the American flag should spend a year in jail. And I don't know if we can do this. We are starting to work on this with my senators.

"THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO FINANCE THIS, OBVIOUSLY"

They are burning vehicles. They are attacking police officers. They are attacking public servants who love their country and serve it. And they are attacking federal buildings wearing armor and masks. There are obviously people who finance this. The Department of Justice is currently investigating this. Who is providing this equipment, who is financing this? We are investigating. And we will not allow the continuation of anarchy. We will not fight against the attack on our federal buildings and federal employees. And a large majority of these people, a large majority of these provocateurs were taken by the Biden administration.

"THE LOS ANGELES POLICE CHIEF TOLD ME THEY NEEDED THIS HELP"

They came from prisons and asylums around the world.

The gang leaders came, the drug dealers came. They came to disrupt all the peace in our country. And they were told to go here. And I want to applaud our soldiers again right now. I want to applaud our soldiers who are deployed to protect our borders and federal buildings. And at the same time, they are also protecting our census officials. The Los Angeles police chief told me that despite doing a very good job, they needed this help. And we provided that help, of course without hesitation. I really appreciate that our citizens in California are also protecting our republic. They are heroes too. They are stopping an invasion. Just like you soldiers are stopping an invasion.

"I KNEW JOE, HE WAS NEVER VERY SMART"

The mayor of California and the governor of Los Angeles. They are not doing their jobs. They are incompetent. And they are making money for the people who are a nuisance to us. They are trying to abolish federal laws. And they are empowering criminal invaders. People coming out of prisons came here. They came from Congo, from Africa, they came from Asia. And they came from the prisons of these countries. They came to America and were allowed to stay here. They allowed these people to stay here while we have a president who does nothing right. I knew Joe. He was never a very smart guy. But he wasn't a radical leftist maniac either. Of course, during the times he was smart. During the times he maintained his intelligence. Yes, what they are doing to our country is really very sad. However, there are some things I can say without a doubt. We are currently the hottest country in the world.

PROTESTS IN LOS ANGELES

As protests continue in Los Angeles, USA, in support of irregular immigrants detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Trump administration had reacted harshly to the events. In anti-ICE protests, many demonstrators were detained, and clashes occurred between security forces and protesters at times, with many vehicles being set on fire and rendered unusable by some demonstrators.

President Trump announced that he had initially deployed about 2,000 National Guards to the area to control the situation in Los Angeles, and later announced that an additional 2,000 guards and 700 Marines were also deployed. California Governor Newsom claimed that Trump was interfering with the use of National Guards in the states, exceeding his federal authority, and had applied to federal court to stop this.
