"First of all, San Franciscans don't want him to send his personal army to occupy and invade San Francisco. We don't want that. So he needs to go away, back off.

Trump affirmed plans to send National Guard troops to San Francisco and indicated possible invocation of the Insurrection Act. He characterized the city as having declined after becoming "woke" and said local demand justified deployment. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff previously urged such action and later retracted and apologized, a move that did not prevent the planned deployment and may have influenced the decision. No deployment timeline has been announced. State and local officials, including Senator Scott Wiener and Governor Gavin Newsom, strongly oppose federal troop presence and assert San Franciscans do not want occupation or intervention.
