    He then added, "We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.

    Also known as Americans who don’t like seeing their neighbors kidnapped or executed in the street. And Trump is one to talk about insurrectionists.

      “highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists”

      Sounds like he’s describing the kinds of people who joined ICE.

        And support ICE, and livestream and make contact broadcasting their support, and agitate anti-ICE protesters for engagement on said livestreams.

        Every accusation is a confession, don’t ever forget that.

      It takes one to know one.

    “Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property.”

    Well, they just gassed a bunch of peaceful protesters in Portland, including children, so I guess that part is true.

    His brain is cooked…

    He flipflops between state/local governments being responsible for federal.property to the feds being responsible like half a dozen times just in the quotes.

        Not only does he have dementia, no one is giving him accurate information to start with.

        If Faux News says there’s rioting in Seattle, trump just takes that as reality.

        It doesn’t matter what happens, just what trump sees on Faux News. There’s always talk about other dictators influencing trump, but it’s just whoever he hears last and he watches Faux daily, so it’s almost always the last thing he heard.

    He’s got a new and shiny distraction from the Epstein files in the form of an invasion of Iran. He can let the hype start to fade on the deportation crisis now.

      You have to read the article because the headline is dishonest. He didn’t tell her to leave them alone, he told her not to get involved in responding to protests.

    leave Dem cities alone ‘unless they ask’

    Remember that Trump always refers to himself as “we”. So he’s not talking about he democratic cities asking here…
