Trump sends troops from the National Guard which were not wanted or requested To California contrasts strongly with his lack of action during the attack of 1/6 of his supporters. When Trump supporters attacked the Capitol, he did nothing. When people protest and local officials say they have the situation under control, Trump is in the situation.
The hypocrisy was not lost for senator Cory Booker who said on Meet the Press:
Look, for years before my birth, the police have known that it is good when there is cooperation and coordination. For the president to do so when it has not been asked, breaking with traditions of tradition, will only encourage the situation and worsen things. We are now at a point where we have a president who sat down and did nothing while people stormed our capitol, viciously defeating the police. And then, when these people who viciously beat the police and led to part of their death, therefore, killers, were condemned by juries, he then forgive them. So, for him to speak to anyone at the moment reactive police forces to protect people is at best hypocritical.
The reality is that we see peaceful manifestations launched in Los Angeles. And again, any violence against the police should not be accepted. Local authorities can manage this. But remember, many of these peaceful demonstrations are generated because the President of the United States sowed chaos and confusion by arresting people who arise for their immigration hearings, who try to respect the law. He stops them. You can see this in republican communities, Trump supporters being indignant that he made a descent into the kitchens and the arrest of people, high schools and the arrest of people, who are not what he said, what is to concentrate the resources of application of the law on violent criminals and people who are a danger to other Americans.

Trump could have sent the national guard preventively to the 1/6 Capitol, but He did not do.
Donald Trump is only interested in intervening in situations that do not imply his supporters.
Trump supporters claim that They did not vote for this type of immigration actions from the Trump administration, But that's exactly what they voted. Trump told them during the campaign everything he was going to do on immigration, and they aligned themselves and supported with pleasure.
These same people do not receive to do. They cannot decide after Trump started to do exactly what he told them that they were going to do that they no longer wanted to get involved.
Most Americans are not stupid. The majority of people want nothing to do with what Trump does. Many Americans, such as Senator Booker, see hypocrisy, and they call it.
