'We're happy to have this fight': Trump administration leans into California protests

[Dulcinea]

(NBC News) President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda has met a groundswell of opposition in Los Angeles, the country’s second-largest city.

At least 56 people have been arrested so far in massive protests against the administration’s immigration raids in the city Friday. The demonstrations have spilled over onto one of the region’s largest freeways, and federal authorities are facing criticism after they arrested, and apparently injured, a prominent labor leader.

In response, the White House has threatened to arrest California’s governor and mobilized Marines to support National Guard troops in defending federal property — even though state officials say they don’t want the assistance and are now suing the administration.

For the White House, this scene — Trump battling a blue state over his signature issue — is a political win, officials said. It’s a nationally watched saga of the sort that has long defined his career: a made-for-TV moment.

it's survival.

2. Life is just a series of episodes for the reality TV show in his head.

He is always the star and he always wins.

3. I was basically going to say the same thing...

that all life is a reality tv show to trump. I didn't watch these things when they first came out as a way of union busting, and I still don't watch them. I certainly don't want to live my life according to reality tv rules!
