So it's true that the President is directly in the chain of command for the DC National Guard, which currently has ~2700 soliders.

Yes. Not the left. And my point is that even if someone else had called them up POTUS could shut it all down with a single phone call. The fact he has said absolutely nothing about it seems pretty good indication he is on board with what is going on.

Note that nobody from the left has the authority to do this. And even the states sending troops would have to okay it with POTUS. He is in charge in DC.

Actually, I think what has happened is he has handed this entire thing off to FEMA with his latest emergency declaration for DC. I think we may end up finding out that POTUS has already stepped aside.

My entire point was that this isn't a show of force from the left.

1. Nobody on the left has the authority.
2. Joe Biden wouldn't be claiming that the troops are there to kill him if it were.
