Trump calling himself “law and order” while explosions are heard in the background is about as bad optics as one could

Maybe that was the goal?

Just watching live footage on MSNBC of Mounted Police Officers and others attacking a 100% Peaceful Protest in DC outside the White House.

Its helpful to be near trees and have long banners or volleyball nets when dealing with pony police. Suspend the banners or nets above your head height at horse rider level (basically at standard volleyball height) and then make staggered barricades or scatter debris. The ponies tend to jump and then slide making the riders more prone to falling off.

Seriously though, don't riot or loot. That's just a tip for peaceful protesters.

lmao at Trump.

Mobilizing the troops is about protecting his fat ass. If this was another country, he would have been ran out of the capital.

firecrackers usually help spook the horses too if facing a cavalry charge on the streets...  Wink

But seriously, these were 100% peaceful protesters any dark humor aside....

That was a fantastic speech from Trump. Also perfect triangulation.

It probably sounded better in the original German.

Nope.

The President declaring that he is on the side of peaceful protestors while the split screen shows the police attacking peaceful protestors with flash bangs/teargas in order to clear a walking path for the President so that he can do a photo op.  I'm sure that will go over very well with open-minded Americans.

Trump clearly likes this as an issue and thinks it’s a winner for him. I’m sure he’s hoping it goes on long enough to be a major topic in the election. An order-vs-barbarism thing. No doubt he’ll continue to do what he can to keep the protests in the news.

Because they believe all white people are racist who are in favor of putting us in chains again.

Polls suggest he's losing ground because of the protests. He's failing.

At this point you are just delusional. Anyone who likes that sort of thing is already supporting Trump without a doubt.

He isn't delusional, he is trolling. You should start responding to him like the joke he is.
