Trump on Deploying the National Guard.: ‘I’ve Been Here Before and I Went Right by Every Rule’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “You have to remember, I've been here before, and I went right by every rule, and I waited for governors to say, send in the National Guard. They wouldn't do it, they wouldn't do it, and they just wouldn't do it. It kept going on and on, got worse and worse. And in Minneapolis, that city was burning down, seven days, and I said, I don't care. The governor, who's a governor that just happened to be running for vice president, a total -- you talk about an incompetent governor, he's an incompetent person, that he was picked. Well, I was actually very happy he was picked for other reasons. But this guy wouldn't call the National Guard, and we ultimately just sent in the National Guard, we stopped it. But that was after seven days. And I said to myself, if that stuff happens again, we've got to make faster decisions, because they don't want to do it.”
