- Over the weekend in Los Angeles, President Trump sent troops into the city amid ongoing protests near the federal complex downtown.

- Despite Trump claiming the city was 'burning to the ground,' many Los Angeles residents rejected this rhetoric and life continued largely normally amid planned protests nationwide.
