This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C.
Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?

Since the NG are taking out the DC trash, may as well add Trump & his GOP.
-
Well that's preferrable ti beating blsvk men in the street for "eating in public" like they did on Friday. I wonder how many people were disappeared last week in DC. Oh, they were poor, so no one is bothering to check. bsky.app/profile/iwil...

🤔🤔🤔
-
if it's the conman's theater, it's televised on Fox and this is the backstage.
-
Honor your constitional oaths...
-
I'm ok with it if it helps cement their opposition to the felon in charge.
-
Our taxpayer $$ at work. 😡
-
I would say that all things considered, this is one of the better scenarios
At least they’re only picking up trash & not for instance, shooting people, since that’s what Trump wanted done back in 2020
This kind of goes back to the troops themselves having a responsibility to defy unlawful orders
-
they need to stop by the Whitehouse, pick up trash, and stop crime at the same time...
-
Most expensive trash collectors in history.
-
Humiliating for the Guard, waste of taxpayer money & taking members of the Guard away from their communities where they work & have regular lives.
-
There's a BIG ol' piece of trash..at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
-
Supporting and defending the Constitution against all beer cans, both foreign and domestic;
-
Classic!
-
Also I like to think that maybe they are picking up trash because their higher ups didn’t go along with the ICE BS. He won’t say they aren’t following orders That would make him look weak- -
hope anyhow
-
Trump gets off on humiliation & retaliation- those two things make him feel powerful so this tracks
-
He should be out there with them, given he’s the garbage man in chief.
-
Watching the National Guard being deployed to pick up trash is surreal. These are trained personnel meant for emergencies, disasters, and national defense, not municipal sanitation. It’s a clear sign of priorities gone completely off the rails.
-
Looks like a prison road crew, or criminals working off their community service.
-
Ffs
-
treating them like the ‘losers’ and ‘suckers’ he believes them to be
not a very inspiring CIC
-
😂😂😂
-
Now that is EXACTLY what you'd expect to happen from a petty, little, shit-for-brains cowardly commander who thinks of soldiers as "suckers & losers"
-
I'm also so sick of seeing the misused tax dollars 💸 I personally don't want to pay out of my pocket to clean up trash in DC!
-
Ridiculous
-
Camouflage looks great with that neon vest. Kinda has a "now you see me, now you don't" vibe to it.😳
-
No need for them to wear masks either.
-
Dumbfuckery
-
They should be home with their families. This is waste fraud and abuse. I Thank them for their service and hope they have done their best to be good examples at least. It seems to me for the most part they have. I saw another video of them helping citizens out.
-
While it’s absurd and horrible that they’re here at all, this is at least useful - way better than walking the streets armed in packs of 3 intimidating residents and / or assisting ICE in kidnappings of my neighbors #FreeDC
-
At least, they sprang for the 3mm bags instead of the dollar store bags.
-
They should be home with their regular life. This is not what they signed up for. IMO
It is deplorable to see the military men and women being used as political pawns to feed F47 narcissists appetite for power.
-
Embarrassing?
-
NICE!! Way to go!
-
They can pick up the trash that infests the Whitehouse. It's a huge piece of living garbage & they'd be honoring their oath to the Constitution simultaneously.
Multitasking at it's best.
-
Crazy...These people are disrupting their live to do low wage community service?
-
FINALLY you have a President who is willing to make the difficult decisions for your beautiful capital and completely rid the city of the violent crime of………. littering
-
Waste of these soldiers time and America’s resources
-
In the UK perps doing community service wear those hi-vis vests lol.
-
This costs a million dollars a day. Dude is spending tons of our money.
-
I guess that's criminal trash. They'll probably waste money doing DNA test on it so they can throw the person in prison in El Salvador.
-
they should start at the White House…..
-
Disgusting, I can't believe they do this without protest
-
Wearing hi vis vests over their camo. Nice. 🤣
-
Doing police call (picking up trash, cig butts, etc) is one step below KP duty and one step above the brig.
-
FOLKS...THIS IS WHAT HE THINKS OF OUR TROOPS!!!!!🤬
-
The bright orange on camo… like a peek a boo wardrobe
-
Well in kidnapping and deporting all the immigrants, they still need somebody to take care of their hard work.
Just following orders yes? Grow a pair.
-
Thank you for your (trash) service!
Seriously though, I feel bad for those National Guard folks who should be at home with their families instead of having to help the dumbest president of all time set up his sleazy autocracy.
-
Because nothing says "Defending your country" quite like picking up trash
-
I think of it as free advertising. Democrats should be thanking him for letting his followers know what BS it is.
-
Wtaf? Pitting them against their brothers and sisters wasn’t bad enough…. 🖕🏼T🍑
-
He thinks they are all suckers and losers. Total contempt for our military.
-
What's really funny is any blue state city mayor could also do a lot with the amount of money trump is spending on DC.
-
Rump & Kegbreath are intentionally demoralizing the national guard with the end goal of leaving states defenseless against attack with citizens unwilling to enlist.
-
How demoralizing!
-
Deployed away from their families to pick up trash on the whim of a draft dodger.
-
Trade in your M-16 for dog poo bags!
"Always ready, always there." "Picking up cigarette butts and Starbucks cups."
- National Gaurd
-
He hates the troops.
-
Unless you were in the Army, you have no idea how missed off these Soldiers are. I can just imagine the amount of complaining going on.
-
One giant police call, I remember getting promoted to Sergeant E-5, and I couldn't wait for the 1st Sergeant say NCO's to the rear on that first police call.
-
do they have any drywall experience?
-
Might as well be doing something positive.
-
If they cared about keeping the parks tidy, they would't have slashed the budget. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
How the National Parks Service is struggling with drastic funding and staffing cuts
Summer is the height of the visitor season for the National Park Service. Last year, nearly 332 million people visited NPS sites, a record that is likely to be broken this year. That surge in visitors...
-
They wouldn’t follow his illegal orders.
-
Call Gov Devine’s office and ask him why our troops are picking up trash in DC- there’s plenty of trash in the 85th District in #OH ! 614-644-4357 #jimjordan
-
Yay #Ohio and #GovernorDewitt ! Nice use of our troops! Maybe they can catch the #OSU games during their trash breaks! @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social should be all over this abuse.
-
-
Send them home to their families!
-
Da-yem!! The American Fascist Party continues to shit on our service members...fuck that!🤬🤬🤬
-
We've got a litterbug, send the army! 😂 What a waste of time & resources
-
Great recruitment video: “Join the Guard and help take out the trash.”
-
Oh how sweet! Their governors took them away from their family, friends, and jobs, so they could pick up litter in DC for the orange dude, so their Governors could kiss Trump's ass
-
Good. Send them to clean public toilets next.
-
He said he was going to clean up DC.
-
i read they get 510$ a day.... i would pick up trash for 500$ a day :D
-
emasculated
-
I hate litter bugs as much as the next person but this is a bit dramatic. 🤭 Careful what you sign up for under donald pedophile trump.
-
$500+ a day
Sanitation workers can’t be pleased…
-
It’s not the NG fault if they didn’t follow orders they’d be court, Marshalled. Show them kindness explain your point of view. They aren’t like ICE. The NG are victims of this administration.

It must be infuriating they can’t earn from their jobs or be with family . Plus they are paid a great deal less than ICE ! Trump and his buddies are making billions

-
Pitiful!!
-
Well, I hope they can go into the White House and pick up the trash there.
-
Their assignment that Trump claimed was necessary for them to take care of in D.C clearly was made up by him so now they’re used for cleaning the city for actual trash so the expenses of having them posted there is less embarrassing.
-
* Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants
so he could dictate through them,
speak through them.
All of the Trump Fox News appointees administration
is the voice of Donald Trump.
This is a fascist dictatorship administration.
There are no experienced professional people in the room.
-
Way 2 waste we the people's money. God bless our troops.
-
Ooooh, a new retention & recruitment video. This should go well.
-
Trump's trying to spend as much government money as possible to keep his failing economy afloat.
-
Maybe they can start building homes for the homeless?
-
The Guard are under legal obligation to ignore an illegal order. This applies to enlisted women as well as officers. They need to step up.
-
I'm pretty sure none of this is what our men & women in uniform signed up for! Maybe they should all cease taking orders from a wannabe autocratic despot & a pervert, criminal Traitor! The Revolution to restore Democracy should be afoot!!
-
Pro tip: there is a big, fat piece of garbage sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. They should start there.
-
They've left their jobs and families behind to pick up garbage in DC.
-
So when Blondie said she has ended crime in DC she was talking about litterbugs.
-
Their body language says they know they are being used for political theater.
-
It would be fun to walk past them and drop handfuls of torn up papers and trash.
-
"On The Offensive"
-
What did Trump call our national heroes again? Oh yeah, “suckers and losers”
-
All this humiliation for a paycheck that barely covers the bills. The National Guard needs to do some serious soul-searching.
-
So $1 million/day for them to pick up trash? Never, ever tell me we can't afford to pay teachers their worth.
-
The national guard are the step children to Trumps ICE militia
-
They're all trained to kill and destroy foreign adversaries in the battlefield...not pick up garbage or patrol the streets! Obviously they didn't sign up for these menial tasks but their draft dodger commander-in-chief says so!😏
-
That would be a good job for someone with 34 felons to their name
-
Disgusting
-
OMG...is this only happening in areas where tourists visit. or in the areas where poor people live and no tourists go??????
-
That’s a political Protest right there. Support them.
-
A visual metaphor.
-
Painfully funny.
Please, just stop trying to make me feel bad for them. I'm never gonna.
-
Make America Not Litter Again!
-
-
SO I heard that taxpayers are paying 1million a day to fund the national guards to pick up trash!🗑️
I consider this abuse, fraud & wasteful when military members are used as political theater!😡🙅
The city is safe. Is national guard sending a hidden messagen to 🍊💩? Maybe bored & need daily exercise?
-
No masks though.
-
Trump should be the first thing in a garbage bag then.
-
Evidently. A picture says a thousand words.
-
I imagine their full time employers back home are a bit annoyed. They were activated for a…trash pick up emergency?!” They had to hire temps or leave the position vacant for again, trash pickup? Moms and Dads are missing the kids first day of school for…trash pick up?
-
suckers and losers~~
-
That’s what MAGA voted for. He was very clear that he loves garbage !
-
They look really pained too. I think it’s time for mass desertion by the troops. They can say they are done acting against the Constitution.
-
Littering is a crime, so they are cleaning crime scenes, not picking up garbage
-
There's nothing inherently wrong with picking up trash. Maybe members of the Administration should be out of there with them setting an example?
But, this isn't why we trained these guys. And they definitely shouldn't be deployed, away from their normal jobs and families, to do this.
-
He wants to humiliate them because they are soldiers.....something he was too gutless to be.
-
That's what the NK army does. It does farm work and other non military things.
-
Littering is apparently that rampant crime they're battling. Hope they're not forced to unload on an aggressive Sprite can or half-eaten cheeseburger. Because that would be totally unnecessary & might frighten the locals.
-
Crime? No. He meant grime. He was going to clean up D.C. of grime.
-
Very thoughtful to give the park service and maintenance crews some time off from picking up trash. Great way to humiliate our armed services.
-
I'm an Army vet, and I'm sick to my stomach seeing this gross misuse of our men and women in uniform! Imagine what our WWII veterans would think if they saw this, after the sacrifices they made for our country! How I wish the military could refuse these asinine orders from their Felon In Chief!😡
-
Trump has stolen their valor.
-
Moments like this I wish I had resources and access to D.C.
I would lay RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES leaflets all over the park for the troops to pick up
-
Maybe only the Black Guardsmen are on trash duty.
-
What was it he called the dead soldiers? oh yea, losers and suckers. 😡
-
Our tax dollars at work 😳
-
This should run on all prime time stations and social media.
-
My god he has destroyed the Guard. Everyone respected these people so much and now he’s fucked them.
-
$1 million per day
-
Worst recruiting video ever.
-
they don't even get those sharp poles... someone's gonna hurt their back
-
humiliation is the point
-
New low for America.
-
I just can't believe it. This is crazy and stupid.
-
This is Schrodingers Camoflage, the art of being seen, while also blending in.
-
Poor guys! Also hot as hell
-
Sucker and losers, right?
-
😢😢😢😢
-
Humiliating. They’re his domestic staff now. Not what they signed up for.
-
Why is this painful to watch?
-
Thank you for your service.
-
Oh wait! They forgot to pick up Trump and his cabinet.
-
What does the National Guard think about this?
-
So degrading
-
Someone elsewhere pointed out that it's hilarious that they're wearing blaze-orange reflective vests over CAMO. Now I can't stop laughing.
Honestly, I hope those guys are miserable. Their deployment is illegal; they're obeying illegal orders. They should refuse.
-
He’s gonna deploy them to monitor the “15 items or less” checkout line next.
He has no respect for people in uniform. None.
-
If you listen to him closely… he did say he was going to clean up DC this is his way to do it on the backside of our Military men and women!!
-
These National Guard members should be back home in their communities and with their families, not picking up trash. What a shameful waste of time and taxpayer funds.
-
I thought picking up trash along the road was what the criminals did?
-
There is some bad garbage at the WH which needs attention.
-
If people were smart they’d be out there giving food & drinks to the soldiers, it’s makes things difficult when those same soldiers are told to shoot protesters by the President.
-
I understands it’s costing $1 million a day to have them in DC.
-
Why don’t they give them those pokers or claws so they don’t have to bend down. Screw that, I’d be sitting on the bench. 🤣
-
Putin probably ordered it to further humiliate his puppet after besting him in Alaska.
-
The actual crime is happening before our eyes in the video…. they are creating a neatness
-
-
This seems great.
-
The military wastes huge amounts of money. Anybody who served has seen it. This is a waste of highly trained and well respected troops.
-
🍿
-
Rolling red carpet Picking up trash Shaming our soldiers 😡☠️
-
Especially the special ones, as a person of culture, i laugh at all these unoath hooligans.
-
The crime is actually in the South East neighborhoods
-
What is the garbage being charged with?
-
I guess "I support the troops" was just another conservative lie like most of the things they say.
-
Yup.
-
Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files, Release the Epstein files and furthermore...Release the Epstein files...
-
They need to go home to where they're needed.
-
He's delegating the public service hours he should've done as a multiple felon.
-
I think it is great. It's not going to hurt the gaurd members and it shows what a fucking waste this is.
-
How is picking up trash being honorable DT is making our National Guards look like fools this is not their job or their Oath they took walk off the job your making yourselves look disgraceful 🤔🖕DT & PH
-
Embarrassing AF
-
I kind of love that servicemen and women from six red states are providing garbage service for Washington, DC. Maybe they can use their Dusenhaffs and save DC on garbage trucks.
-
This presidency with Trump is his vanity project. It’s all about appearances because he has spent his life in a bubble. He has everyone in his administration and the military at his disposal and mercy right now. He’s a cruel taskmaster having others do his dirty work.
-
They aren’t looking in the right place! Try the Whitehouse
-
I'm certain that they will all think kindly of this experience when they may be forced to make a choice.
-
Well, at least are tax dollars aren’t going to waste.
-
Those guys look so South Carolina. Sorry for them too
-
It's already been pointed out he called the military suckers and losers. And now he has made them look like just that. Why do they worship a mob boss like this?
-
-
Humiliating
-
How much an hour is this costing us??
-
NYT today “Trump call for the death penalty in all DC murder cases.” Let that sink in. Total psychopath dictator. Any call for a death penalty by this evil man means trouble. Remember the #CentralParkFive. What he tests in DC he wants to roll out everywhere just like tanks. Panzer tanks.
-
If the National Guard is collecting trash can they just scoop up felon-predator Trump and the whole clown cabinet ?? 😊
-
At least there was one white dude also doing it and not just the black man 🤬 but see what this administration thinks of our service members?
-
If I was in DC I would take em some water bottles and just ask em, WHY ARE U DOING THIS?I know they are following orders but, picking up trash and doing landscaping????
-
Another Taco made Crisis
Distraction by Intimidation and Retribution
Just release the damn Unredacted Epstein Files before someone gets hurt.
-
Was here yesterday. Didn’t see a single guard member on this side of the mall.
-
Next EO from Trump: stop picking up trash. Just stand there being useless while I gather praise from my minions.
-
Talk about willingly humiliating these guys for clicks !!
