Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has voiced support for President Donald Trump and encouraged the National Guard’s deployment to San Francisco to address rising crime. His support drew backlash from local officials, who warned the move could resemble an occupation. The San Francisco Mayor’s Office argued the deployment could endanger residents and escalate tensions.
Benioff said, “We don’t have enough cops, so if (the National Guard) can be cops, I’m all for it.” He added, “I fully support the president.” Benioff has reportedly donated over $1 billion to Bay Area causes, including hospitals and schools. Benioff said, “I don’t think anyone has hired more people or given more money or supported San Francisco more than I have.”
