Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

Trump was at his West Palm Beach golf course when the National Guard shooting took place.
Trump has already spent $70 million of taxpayer money on golfing in less than a year as president.
If this pace keeps up, he will spend $300 million playing golf by the time his second term ends.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
