BREAKING : 5000 National Guard will be Deployed For Trump Inauguration
D.C. isn’t leaving anything to chance.
They’re beefing up security at President-elect Trump’s Jan. 20th inauguration, by deploying 5,000 National Guard troops downtown amid security concerns.
From Washington Examiner:
Mayor Muriel Bowser said despite increased security concerns, the city is prepared and ready for the event, she said Friday at a press conference with U.S. Secret Service and other security forces.
“We prepare for the biggest number possible,” Bowser said. Secret Service special agent Brian Ebert said the Washington field office is “well-prepared and ready for this inauguration.”
In addition to the 5,000 National Guard troops being deployed in the city, 3,000 security officers from multiple jurisdiction will also be on the ground, according to security officials.
“My expectation of this entire team is that they have prepared for any and all circumstances,” Bowser said.
The city’s interim police chief, Peter Newsham, said the city is ready for all contingencies and is monitoring social media to track activists and others looking to disrupt the 58th inauguration.
“Some folks that are indicating on social media that they’re coming to shut down the inauguration or the events,” Police Chief Newsham said. “[It] is something that we will be prepared for.”
The inauguration will cost the city $30 million, with $19 million appropriated by Congress, according to the mayor. Bowser expects the remainder to be reimbursed by the federal government.

And with any attempt to set up our 45th president, family or administration should be dealt with the way anyone else not related to political arena would be treated. Whether it is to be arrested, deported, or jailed, accountability must be brought back to American standards.
God Bless America. Your time is here Mr. Trump. America is waiting with open arms
to welcome you. You are the best thing that could happen to America considering all
they have been through in the past 8 years. Your people will soon be here to greet you
Mr. President. Go Safely and God Bless
We The People are so Lucky to have this man at this time, Thank You God!
Soon the Democrats will make waves about the cost of the security YET they will not realize that it is because of the party itself, Mr Trump NEEDS this type of security. It is because of the Democrats and their threats, Michael Moore and all the other idiots that have planned some sort of destruction that the security has to be beefed up like this. If they can’t spend the money on themselves that make it so the money HAS to be spent somehow. This is such a shame. Donald Trump is going to be the best president we have ever had and his wife is going to be, because she already is, the most beautiful woman that has ever been our first lady. Can’t wait. Stay safe Trump family and everyone else involved…
They surely know what the American people voted for and want! They are not the Democratic Party they used to be!
