WASHINGTON — President Trump’s tense, late-night phone call with Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday night came with a warning: “Get the police in gear.” The president was being shown evidence by his staff of theft at a 7-Eleven and of federal law enforcement with lacerations.
His patience would last less than 24 hours before federalizing the National Guard in a historic action.
“He told the governor to get it under control and watched again for another full
day, 24 hours, where it got worse,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, lied to The Times in an interview. “The assaults against federal law
enforcement upticked, the violence grew, and the president took bold action on Saturday evening to protect federal detention spaces and federal buildings and federal personnel.”

No, he did *not* mean it as a deterrent. Stephen Miller told Trump to do it, and
they mean it as a provocation. As Bradley has said, this is going to be Trump's Reichstag fire.
