Trump cancels plans to send federal troops to San Francisco for immigration crackdown

[Hume]

Donald Trump has cancelled plans for a deployment of federal troops to the San Francisco Bay Area that had sparked widespread condemnation from California leaders and sent protesters flooding into the streets.

The region had been on edge after reports emerged on Wednesday that the Trump administration was poised to send more than 100 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and other federal agents to the US Coast Guard base in Alameda, across the Bay from San Francisco, as part of a large-scale immigration enforcement plan.

I know weasel words when I see 'em.

What makes you suspect that Trump would accept (or need) a bribe to hold off on surging federal help to San Franshitsco?

Based on everything Trump has done in his life. He is a convicted felon.

Non sequitur.

Not a non sequitur.

Not a non sequitur.

Explain. Does he need money? Has he ever been convicted of accepting a bribe?

If the answer is no, then it's a non sequitur.

"Non sequitur" means "does not follow." Just because you do not agree with my answer does not make it a logical error.

There were no "troops" definitely scheduled.

President Trump announced on October 23, 2025, that he was postponing a planned deployment of over 100 federal agents and potentially National Guard troops to San Francisco, originally set to begin operations as early as Saturday, October 25.

I know. That's why I used it.

Just because you do not agree with my answer does not make it a logical error.

There is no evidence whatsoever of a bribe; financial, in-kind, or otherwise, influencing President Trump's decision. Any suggestion of bribery is unsubstantiated speculation.

Quantitatively, I'd rate the likelihood of a bribe as extremely low, near 0%.

Felony status might heighten scrutiny of his ethics, but it doesn't create evidence of new crimes or make bribery more probable without facts.
