President Donald Trump is four years late in sending the National Guard to Washington, D.C.  On Jan. 6, 2021, when law-abiding citizens were being attacked, assaulted and injured before our eyes, why didn’t he, at least, do something other than sit in the White House and hope the treasonous mob would stop Vice President Mike Pence from certifying the election results?

He must realize that sending the National Guard to Washington, D.C. now, when crime is on the decrease, appears blatantly political and is a waste of money. By now, I guess we all should have learned that he apparently doesn’t care about things that most Americans care about.
