Donald J. Trump is like an arsonist. He lights the country on fire, then hides in a bunker until he is safe, then comes out of hiding to blame the people who were burned. Donald did this with the George Floyd protests as he hid from the American people.
Donald also pardoned violent Jan. 6th rioters, who beat law enforcement officers with flag poles, and dared to enter the Capitol while waving a Confederate flag, even though Trump supporters injured more than 140 officers during the insurrection.
And now there are the L.A. protests against ICE. National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done, but he went there anyway. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth threatened on Xitter to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its citizens.
FBI Director Kash Patel was taken to the woodshed on Xitter for telling protesters, “If you hit a cop, you’re going to jail.”
so why did your boss pardon all those people who hit cops on Jan 6? https://t.co/pjCauStyvW
