riots or peaceful protests President Donald Trump and Newsom repeatedly traded barbs on social media and during populace remarks throughout the protests and riots with the president arguing Los Angeles would have been destroyed if he had not stepped in Incompetent Gavin Newscum should have been THANKING me for the job we did in Los Angeles rather than making sad excuses for the poor job he has done If it weren t for me getting the National Guard into Los Angeles it would be burning to the ground right now Trump posted to Truth Social on June The violence and protests quelled following
