Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed President Trump on social media over his narcissistic move to send National Guard troops to Los Angeles despite no request from California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Over the weekend while spending time at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles, California, in response to protests against the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

On Monday, Trump decided to deploy an additional 2,000 California National Guard troops and 700 United States Marines as well to the southern California city.


It’s crazy that Trump could deploy them to California, but not, on January 6th.

On Monday afternoon, former First Lady, New York Democratic Senator, and Obama administration Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared her opinion of Trump's latest power play on social media.

Taking to Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Elon Musk's X, Clinton wrote:

"California Governor Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations."
"Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice."
"Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe."
"His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump."


On Instagram and Facebook, Secretary Clinton posted a screenshot of her Threads post captioned:

"Let's be real."

People concurred with the lawyer and political veteran's assessment of Trump's love of chaos.

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom echoed the same sentiment on Facebook.

However some felt Newsom himself was the target, due to Trump's long-running adversarial relationship with the Democratic governor.

Others pointed out why Trump needs chaos.

His attack on Los Angeles is creating an effective distraction in mainstream media from his tripping up the stairs of Air Force One on Sunday, everyone criticizing his One Big Beautiful Bill, his feud with Elon Musk, and the tech investor's revelation that Trump was featured in the list of sex traffickers and hebephiles in the files of Jeffrey Epstein.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Monday that the state is now suing the Trump administration over the illegal federalization of the state's National Guard without the cooperation or consent of the state government.

Bonta stated in the lawsuit that Trump's order "infringes on Governor Newsom’s role as Commander-in-Chief of the California National Guard and violates the state’s sovereign right to control and have available its National Guard in the absence of a lawful invocation of federal power."

The lawsuit added:

"At no point in the past three days has there been a rebellion or an insurrection."

Vance Makes Epically Ironic Dig At Past Presidents While Defending Trump For Bombing Iran

Vice President JD Vance appeared to have no sense of irony when he told NBC that President Donald Trump's attack on Iran is different from the U.S.'s past conflicts in the Middle East because, he said, Trump is unlike prior "dumb presidents."

Vance spoke after Trump authorized a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities, amid ongoing uncertainty about the status of Tehran’s nuclear program, saying the decision shows Trump "actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives."
