Fortified by troops, foreboding fencing and police in riot gear, Pres. Trump remained protected from largely peaceful protesters this week—but not from the ire of his predecessors and the nation's top military figures.

MORE: 'Enough is enough': Former Defense Secretary Mattis blasts President Trump over handling of protestsDefense Secretary Mark Esper said that he did not think active-duty military troops should be dispatched to American cities to quell unrest, after Trump threatened to do so.

President Donald Trump walks through Lafayette Park to visit St. John's Episcopal Church across from the White House during ongoing protests over racial inequality in the wake of the death of George Floyd, at the White House, June 1, 2020.Trump has also found himself increasingly at odds with former presidents.

Former President George W. Bush said he and former first lady Laura Bush “have resisted the urge to speak out, because this is not the time for us to lecture. It is time for us to listen.” Former President Jimmy Carter said in a statement that he and former first lady Rosalynn Carter are"pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks."

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, similarly sent an unusual message to the leaders of the different branches of the military that said members of the armed forces swore an oath to the Constitution and its protections for freedom of speech and assembly. The letter served as"cover" for the service leaders to"communicate their feelings" as well, Wormuth said.

Trumpy can't even tell you a verse of the Bible! Yet hold the Bible right! (upside down) dummy 🙃😁

ABC your bias is showing...again.

They were 'largely peaceful' BECAUSE OF 'troops, foreboding fencing and police in riot gear' What halfwit intern shat this report out? They need to lay off the chilli

realDonaldTrump is the BestPresidentEver45 he is not beholden to anyone but the American people. He is our voice SilentMajority

Coward in chief

Politicians continuing to ban people from opening businesses, gathering together at churches, etc., while full-throatedly endorsing massive public protests, and tacitly supporting violent riots, etc., is our present, terrifying reality.

GREAT pic.... if the MAYORS OF THE BURNED CITIES HAD taken APPROPRIATE action in their cities the demonstrations would have been peaceful. THE WORTHLESS MAYORS NEED TO BE VOTED OUT!

Trump is a very great man. The people against them are haters MAGA

WSSmith_wsg realDonaldTrump “...Pres. Trump remained protected from largely peaceful protesters...” Coward! Lol

Ret Gen Jon Allen said we are at one of the lowest points he's seen! He defended the protesters saying we should NEVER treat our citizens like enemies by using troops against them! He said the finest leaders he knows have compassion, respect, are humble & unite people! Sad.😢

Hehe, “peaceful”.

'I don't get no respect'

Fake news

Yeah general Millie walking with Trump, they must be so pissed. GTFO of here

TDS

Where's the graffiti? Where are protests? Where is reality?

I'd like to personally thank you for once again ushering Donald Trump to four big years.

this is what a true leader looks like and there was no peaceful protesters they where violent riots by antifa and black lies matter that you support, Past presidents have used the military. Protecting the white house and monuments is his job, You are just a wait of time

What planet are you on, peaceful protesters

All it takes is one nut job to attack/maim/kill. Then what? All Presidents have been protected. He's the Commander in Chief, and is protected at all cost. Your narrative is false, just like your newz. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

The world is about to change folks. Be ready. Better days ahead. Do not trust the MSM. They are the problem.

Thankful for SecretService for continuing to do their job! It's obvious that they and the FBI know how to do their jobs. They also know classified info. that the media & public do not know. That's called protecting us from homegrown terrorists.

Antifa, baby! Stoke that race war! You'll get there, ABC, and, maybe people will forget about your covering for elites raping babies with Epstein! Almost there!

Fake News....

This is a Coup and we will defeat You! Go Trump!

Let’s face it, Trumps lost it.

He doesn't want to go back to the bunker!

Build a wall around and hide in the bunker. Safer that way, coward. Don’t wear mask but hid in bunker, what a hypocrite?

Oh wow. Former presidents...aka civilians.

Orangesatan and McTurtle

They are not wearing face masks? how come?

Sad that you have become cheap propogandists

the nation's former top military figures. fixed it

A war with Syria was on the menu, and Mattis is still bitter that Trump refused it.

Of course he did. Even if it doesn’t matter that much. Liar is gonna lie. So worn out by him. Here’s how this scene was viewed live in Australia. One of America’s closest and most dependable allies. Rendered speechless. Just watch. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pentagon chief on shaky ground with White House after breaking with Trump over protest responseSecretary of Defense Mark Esper said Wednesday that he does not support using active duty troops to quell the large-scale protests across the United States triggered by the death of George Floyd and those forces should only be used in a law enforcement role as a last resort, comments that came after President Donald Trump recently threatened to deploy the military to enforce order. Oh, those 'multiple' people and unnamed sources!!! I think now would be a really good time for Bolton's book to be released Of course he did. Never waste a good disaster right CHINA NETWORK NEWS
