You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you

The images of National Guard troops sleeping on floors in Los Angeles are real, confirmed by the San Francisco Chronicle and other reports. The troops, deployed by President Trump on June 7, 2025, to address immigration protests, lack proper food, water, and lodging. Newsom calls

Soldiers are used to sleeping anywhere, they’re trained this way. That’s what makes them so rough, they do whatever they’re told

Trump thinks the troops are suckers and losers. He used them to cause chaos

They’re trained to handle bad places, even CA. Regardless, it’s your state. So shouldn’t YOU be finding them a place to stay? Isn’t finding people who don’t belong in your state a place to live the one thing y’all are good at? Surely, someone with your sense of “hospitality”

Bro, do you have any idea how many times we slept on the floor...on the ground...wet and cold...missed meals...boiled in the heat...that is the life of a soldier. Sleeping indoors on the floor with your gear...that's the good stuff. I LOVE these guys...and so does the President.

You’re the best governor ever!

perhaps we can provide quarters for these brave men and women. They are not our enemy. Instead of using them as a political statement, I recommend we house them and feed them. They are our brothers and sisters.

These are galant patriots serving the commander in chief. The recruitment numbers for new soldiers tripled under Trump.

They’re troops. I think can handle an air conditioned building floor. If you had taken care of the lawlessness in your state, they wouldn’t have to be there.

God bless them! If you were a decent human being, you'd find a more comfortable place for them. Then again, people sleeping and crapping anywhere they want is the California brand under your leadership.

I think if you had a better handle on your state, they wouldn't have had to be there on such short notice, under such circumstances

Oh like these guys who were “guarding” the capitol in 2021?

Why don’t you let them stay at one of your 5 class luxury migrant hotels?

They have fuel, food and water. And soldiers will sleep wherever they can to do their duty for their country. Shame YOU didn’t do your job and they now have to.

Call for his impeachment already

As someone who's transported Marines many times, this is what they do. This is what they train for. Almost every time, they sleep on the floor of the cargo jets and at the passenger terminals. These are badass men and women. If anyone is disrespecting them, it's YOU.

So you're saying you've not only not ever been in the military, but never spent much time trying to get to know what the military is like either. Cool story. Don't worry, the logistics will follow if your citizens insist on being unlawful, but in the military mission

You’re a despicable piece of shit and should resign immediately. You don’t know what it is to be a leader and thank God you’ll never ever have a chance to be President. The last thing Americans want is for you to do to our country what you’ve done to California.

You imported 10 million illegals into California and are giving them free homes, health care, and handouts. It’s costing your constituents billions a year and some of them their lives. Shame on you.

Once you were informed, did you provide these Californians food and water? Pillows? Hotels like illegals get?

You deployed the National Guard for COVID, remember? Or did your hair gel kill all of your brain cells?

Newsome keeps calling them ‘HIS’ (President Trump’s) troops. Are they not Californians? Do they not live locally? Aren’t they funded and trained under Title 32 as state militia? Is their commander the state governor? Doesn’t seem like they’re HIS troops- but there’s enough

Tell me you've never served in the military without saying it. You think there's a Holiday Inn Express in the combat zone?

How do you sleep at night knowing you have failed your state so profoundly??

Newsome, you're jealous. Trump can fill stadium after stadium of supporters. You'll never have the following and love DJT has.

This is how it works when you’re in the military fighting an enemy. Are these troops complaining about accommodations or are they happy to be serving their country? You’re a liar and you have betrayed your citizens by not just allowing this to devolve to this point but actually
