I don't know if you know this, but the president doesn't personally do things like that. He gives orders and expects the people responsible to carry them out. Basically, someone dropped the ball. But keep the faith, I hear it helps.If anyone “blocked it” it was his Secdef who took no action after Trump mentioned Deploying NG to protect “his people” on Jan 3
BUT Trump took no action to deploy on Jan 6
None
The bottom line is, TRUMP! wanted the NG there.
