This is because protestors booed JD Vance and Pete Hegseth at Union Station last week when they went there for a photo op with National Gaurdsmen eating lunch at the Shake Shack.

Pretty sure it's more that a group of veterans have started a sit-in there and they're not planning on moving.
That's badass! There are real patriots still! Color me shocked.
In the future, if you are spotted booing an administration official, expect a National Guard rifle butt to the back of your head.
When he says he wants transit to be safe again, I wonder what racist rhetoric he is enforcing
He's gonna remake it in his white-and-chintz ghetto style. And post national guardsmen.
This honestly is just wierd. I don't see how it fits into any of his bullshit other than just being bullshit. Epsteing files maybe?
He can lock it down as a military checkpoint
Gearing up for the full authoritarian take over
Ah yes, the good old Republican policy of having the government run things instead of private enterprise.
Is maga bitching about this being socialism yet?
maga has no idea what socialism is.
They don't mind. They see this as him owning the libs/blue cities, and are perfectly fine with it.
Not that any of them will go into cities unless they are forced to, since it has scary Blah people in them.
All aboard the Trump train! No woke, LGBTQ, Palestinians, Ukrainians, immigrants, or Epstein files allowed! Choo choo!
I was just in Union station for the very first time this last spring, and I thought it was perfectly wonderful as a piece of architecture. I'm no critic of the art of building or anything of the sort, but as a rando first time train traveler, I was actually pretty impressed with it. One thing I particularly enjoyed was a little used bookstore and record shop they had on one of the levels.
