WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Monday to deploy the United States military unless states quickly halted the violent protests that have convulsed cities from coast to coast, speaking in the White House Rose Garden as tear gas canisters could be heard exploding just a block away.
The moment was quickly decried by Trump's critics, with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo saying the president "used the military to push out a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op at a church."The country has been beset by angry demonstrations for the past week in some of the most widespread racial unrest in the U.S. since the 1960s. Spurred largely by Floyd's death, protesters have taken to the streets to decry the killings of black people by police.
He added: "You've got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again." "If I'm not over here messing up my community, then what are you all doing?" he said. "You all are doing nothing. Because that's not going to bring my brother back at all."
🙋🏼🥴🤷🏻♀️
These are not protests. It is a communist insurrection.
President has a right to get his country under control. The President also needs to see the three other officers charged. USA needs to stop because NO ONE has given the list of demands to STOP this violence, fires, looting, etc
The military should refuse! Take a stand for the country! The GOP has and is useless!!!
The cowardly governors are responsible to send National Guard. The Governors want Trump to do it and be pilloried by hateful left media
I've seen the videos and the protesters are violent thugs. Looks like they needed an excuse to steal, beat and burn down the place. It is making some black people look bad.
Now he will pit the armed forces against the civilian population.
Trumps decisions have killed more Americans than the Vietnam war!
He is a true nutter.
realDonaldTrump As he should. The protesters are anarchists with the goal is destroying private property and causing chaos.
He developed into a full blown dictator right in front of our eyes, poor Americans
It's no longer about GeorgeFloyd It's about racial injustice, dictatorship, and a President who is out of control. 1stAmendment
Trump has to save the country
There's only one type of leader that calls troops out on his own people
Eints, twei, eints, twei, build ein empire! What a clown.
A strong leader. Wish Canada had one.
Hopefully the troops put those people down
Do it tomorrow
Ummm does he even know how the order works to deploy military inside of United States ? He doesn't have authority. The order has to come from Congress to pass 😉😉👍 realDonaldTrump
No he did not, WorstPresidentEver did not mention George Floyd once. In fact in his childish strut to and photo op at the church realDonaldTrump with bible in hand failed to say one prayer for George or the 1000s of COVID dead. A weak man pulling a re-election stunt
And these are the people you support ctv? The rioters across North America. Your a disgrace ctv!!!!
It’s the right thing to do though
LawandOrderPresident 👍🏻
Are there any protests in Ottawa in the next few days? Something has to be done!
Then resign Carrot top eat the rich and you sir are nothing but a low life you watch what these cops are doing and yet you all stand behind your desks behind a bunker instead of working with the public to see how and what it will take for this to end well sir remember 1812.🧐👀
Wow, you framed what happened today incredibly poorly, burying the lede and misleading the reader. Well fucking done social media guy.
Vietnam lesson forgotten. Oh wait he chucked out
He wants to start a war with anyone China, Iran or his own countrymen.
God bless you Potus, look north , Canada is in a crisis with trudeaus nwo communism party socializing a once great nation . SOS
Except he can’t given the posse comitatus act
Bunker Boy
This fucking guy think he rules, he’s a dictatorship power? ... PEOPLE OF AMERICA! Fight for your rights! Fight for the freedom your fathers and the fathers before you figure for!
The erradication of racism could be so easily done. Racism is simply a form of generalizing people. All we need to do is to stop generalizing people. ☮️❤️
🤦♂️ Does this guy have expert advisors in communication strategy? He probably fired them all before hiring a pair of bootlickers..
Law and order must prevail.
Trump is about to make the hard left terrorists cry.
Thx god 4 Canada both leadership & people .. god bless 🇨🇦
And then he walked across the lawn without incident because finally there was order... you left that part out
Why are you framing it like he’s the crazy one here...
It’s like he’s the commander and chief or something
Here is what it will look like in Washington Thanks realDonaldTrump you have a military that will Dominate it’s Citizens!!!!
Attitude reflects leadership. NotMyPresident BlackLivesMatter GeorgeFloyd riot racism
America’s biggest clown
He is an idiot
leadership
BunkerBoy
Completely incompetent leadership.
Did you note the rioters drove over police officers you scum
Good job 👏
Fuking bafooon
Send in the panzers Adolph !
The rationale behind the 2nd amendment could not be clearer
Why would he? This is exactly what he wanted.
Shame On Him!!
And Hitler’s reincarnation is finally here
I thought the US military isn’t allowed to be deployed against its citizens. Can’t call the riots an insurrection, can you?
Rioters!
Excellent idea!!
Good. Hi is right
Go, Trump!
At least America has a real leader.
Trump is so sleezy he makes me sick. My heart goes out to the American people I hope you continue to protest peacefully, we all need the changes that come from peaceful demonstrations. I pray that you vote him out in November. 🇨🇦
Trump needs to bro g in the military, the inmates can’t run the prison and the job of a president is to bring order, so send in the hounds
Good Lord! An American President is threatening to turn the American military against American people? 😲
Trump's the man.
He cannot sit idly by while the protests become more widespread and dangerous. violence
Good
It’s uncanny that the fakenews media in Canada , won’t mention the LAPD officer shot and killed by one of their peaceful protesters.
Go hide in the White House bunker again..
Smart move the genuine legal protests can happen
I don’t see a problem do u?
God bless POTUS , well done sir . Please help Canada , the UN has bought all msm here and pushing their socialist nwo, and liberal sheep are brainwashed into thinking its good. SOS
Good for him. I have family down there and they were gathering arms to protect themselves in smaller towns and cities. Next up would have been disastrous .
Good
Will someone just kill him already.
People trump did not say this ctv I'm uninstalling your app after this tweet people wake up it's the media trying to divide us by color media is so fake now that innocent people are dying cause of there lies media is pissed now cause nothing is burning down now
The U.S. is getting scarier and scarier by the day!
American edition of June 4th is coming.
Now that is how a leader takes care of business. While Trudeau calls Canadians racists without proof Trump acknowledges a wrong doing. Trump takes steps to re-establish law and order without stripping rights from law-abiding citizens like Trudeau’s gun ban.
Good. Do it.
Trump is Lord.
Another simplistic & false solution from Trump!
CTV there's a difference between peaceful protests and riots. Military should step in, people are clearly taking advantage of the situation.
It's about time
Really disgusted with CTV supporting violent protest, objecting to the rule of law. The world is upside down.
Peaceful protest is one thing, violence and destruction of private property is not protest. One is upheld by law and one is illegal...
?!
Good get control of these P.O.S that are attacking people and destroying property and peoples lively hoods. Any leader that doesn't denounce this bullshit, is a piece of suit and doesn't deserve to lead a country!
Go on !!! And the problem is!
Liberals love violence and unrest. They are lovers of chaos and anarchy.
It's Trump vs. a bunch of spoiled whiny leftists. Guess who's gonna win.....
Are people really surprised? Trump is not the bad guy here...These people are literally burning cities down.
TRUMP WILL DEAL WITH ALL THOSE AntifaTerrorist Anonymous DeepState Goons and THUGS. This was a PSYOP BillGates BILL GATES FAILED GEORGE SOROS FAILED NEXT; CELEBRITIES are GOING TO COME OUT AND TELL YOU WHAT TO DO..FAIL! THEN WHATS NEXT? WHAT HAPPENED TO COVID19
American news
You spelled rioters wrong. Most people support peaceful protest even when they don’t agree with the protesters. Unlike MSM most are intelligent enough to distinguish between legitimate c8ncerns and protest and violent riots and thugs.
PressTitutes, which protests Riots n looting, if state forces can't control, he's entiteld 2 deploy military forces to defend the coutry's order n citizens! LameStreamMedia does'nt like a democratic elected president use the power his constitution grants?Trudeau would hide!
When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.
Does that upset you CTV? Or are you enjoying business owners going broke and getting injured? (mostly minorities) Or are you enjoying innocent people being hospitalized by groups of far left white Antifa and black thugs?
China is laughing....... HARD! 😆 🤣 😂
Anyone remember Tiananmen Square
Bout time governors have had their chance and have just stood by and watched now watch antifa run🍿🍿🍿
Too bad there isn’t a military to take care of the problem in the White House. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to call The military to get rid of Trump.
HEIL
