National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments.
Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers.

Looks like there's so much crime in DC that the National Guard are litter picking. How much money is being wasted on this? Trump will of course say some bullshit like "I CLEARED UP ALL THE CRIME IN DC. NO CRIME LEFT. SO MUCH CRIME GONE THAT THE GUARD VOLUNTEERED TO LITTER PICK INSTEAD. THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO BECAUSE ALL CRIME CLEARED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"
