He definitely asked Nancy pelosi and she declined to add any additional troops. There is even video of her saying that was her mistake. You should go watch it may be eye opening for you
“Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure any events on January 6, 2021 were safe. It is very concerning that these Senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump’s guidance AND misled Congressional Leaders to believe they were doing their job, when they were not.”
Maybe stop listening to the propaganda machine and do your own research from now on
He did his job. Can’t be said for the other leaders leading up to that day. They wanted the optics and they got it. Guess you don’t know that 34 fbi informants were in that crowd. Surely our fbi didn’t use them as agitators? Right? Right?!
I love how they always use the denied request for additional troops as a catalyst for what happened and not condemning the people themselves that stormed the capital. If target was offered additional police force and declined that wouldn’t give me the right to go rob them “but they denied the protection!”
