Trump Goes on Labor Day Tirade Over Damning Report

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump launched a lengthy social media tirade on Labor Day, attacking a Center for American Progress report that found his National Guard deployments did not reduce crime, and threatened legal action against the think tank.
• Trump named various individuals, corporations, and foreign governments he claimed supported the report, including George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, Google, Apple, and several embassies, accusing them of opposing him and harming the country.
• The Center for American Progress study, led by Chandler Hall, analyzed National Guard deployments in multiple cities and concluded there was no impact on violent crime rates, a finding Trump has repeatedly dismissed as "crazy."
• Despite Trump's threats of a lawsuit, no legal action has been reported, and the think tank defended its research as independent and factual, accusing Trump of trying to intimidate critics and distract from policy failures.
• On the same day, Trump also posted extensively about unrelated topics such as remodeling projects and a proposal to rename New Mexico, before issuing a combative Labor Day message targeting political opponents.
