Trump backs off SF federal deployment after Huang, Benioff calls

President Donald Trump said in a post on Thursday that the federal government was preparing to “surge” San Francisco, but he was swayed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and others to hold off on the deployment.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he also spoke with Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie, who “was making substantial progress” on crime.

“Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great,” Trump wrote.

The reversal marks a major political win for the city of San Francisco and Lurie, who is in his first term.

Yep, this is how things are supposed to be done. Billionaires deciding when or if the National Guard should be deployed to a given city.

Yep. Checks out.
