Hold onto your lattes, tech bros and Bay Area activists – the political drama in San Francisco just took another wild turn. President Trump apparently called off his threatened federal deployment to our beloved fog-kissed city, and Mayor Daniel Lurie is here to spill the tea.

The Presidential Phone Call Heard 'Round the Bay

In what can only be described as a stunning plot twist, Mayor Lurie claims he had a late-night phone conversation with the president where Trump basically said, “Nevermind” to his plans of sending federal agents into San Francisco. Apparently, Lurie’s passionate defense of the city – highlighting its tech prowess and ongoing recovery – might have been the persuasive argument that changed Trump’s mind.

Behind the Scenes Diplomacy

Rumors are swirling that Marc Benioff, the Salesforce billionaire and local tech mogul, might have played a role in talking Trump down. The president even mentioned being told that “the future of San Francisco is great” – which, honestly, is the energy we’ve been trying to manifest all along.

What This Means for SF

While the federal deployment seems off the table for now, Lurie isn’t letting his guard down. He’s keeping the city prepared for any potential scenario and continues to emphasize partnerships with federal agencies to address real issues like drug trafficking.

The White House’s press secretary did add a cheeky caveat: they’ll “continue to watch San Francisco”. Consider us warned – and honestly, a little intrigued.
