Trump suggests governors call in National Guard to 'dominate the streets'

Source: Yahoo

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he had suggested to some governors to call in the National Guard in the face of mostly peaceful nationwide protests sparked by the death of a black man, George Floyd, in police custody.

"I'm suggesting to some of these governors that are too proud ... 'Don't be proud. Get the job done. You'll end up doing much better in the end, calling the National Guard. Call me,'" Trump said in remarks at the White House Rose Garden.

"You have to dominate the streets. You can't let what's happening, happen," he added.

I guess it was not a slip. Trump is still demanding that State governors dominate the streets and clear out protesters with military force. Can you imagine what he would be able to do with a second term. He might start making Kim Jong Un look stable.

Hey Donnie Drumpf. Why are you sending in the troops when the protests nationwide are almost completely peaceful? Heck, there's probably less violence on the streets right now, than there was prior to the pandemic.

What's the matter IDIOT? That whole "LAW AND ORDER" campaign you drew up over the last 10 days isn't going to work for you much now? Are you going to try and incite a riot or something, to get folks worked up again? What's your plan.

HEY ASSHOLE......EXACTLY 150 DAYS UNTIL WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU AND THE repub PARTY WHAT WE THINK OF YOU DOUCHEBAGS.

As the defense secretary tries to dissociate himself from this terrible idea.
