Let the city of DC burn, the mayor is and idiot. People support peaceful protesters. But we all see what happens after dark. Those monuments, and the WH belong to the people. Not the mayor or the president, they need to be protected.

Finally, a sign of wisdom from the White House. Could it be the tipping point to bring President Trump to order?

Good news.

They shouldn’t have been there in the first place!

This is an abuse of power by Trump. We can not let this happen again, nor have any enforcement group not be identified! SenateGOP SenateDems HouseDemocrats HouseGOP ABC NBCNews ConstitutionalRights

How much taxpayer money did that cost?

FUCK YES! NOW THATS AMERICAN!

Is he still the defense secretary? I though Barr and Ivanka were in charge of everything now! He should resign before he gets any deeper

Haha bunker boy even called back up from the military. BunkerBoy

We are in a Spiritual War. Jesus is the answer. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Screw the troops. They're just hired help that exist to be exploited, propagandized and thrown away when it's convenient. We don't need them in the streets of American cities. What we NEED is a REAL president that isn't a mentally ill crime boss who lies and endangers democracy.

The democrats are now run by nfl blacklivesmatter they all need to take a knee

He’ll be fired before the end of the day. TrumpIsADisgrace

The country is being run by the gang who couldn’t shoot straight.

And?

Probably bcuz they were kicked out of the DC hotels, hotels that were not getting paid!

Finally the light is seen. Are there now bigger fences coming?

Things democrats hate: 2.5 million jobs ADDED. Unemployment rate DROPPED. This jobs report proves what we have been saying: realDonaldTrump is the best person to rebuild our economy! America is OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

So he sent them home a couple days ago and got yelled at by Unhinged Trump then said they were staying and now saying they are going.

Or maybe just stay there and oust the Nazi from the peoples' house. I vision folks holding the door open for them.

Who were those other people acting like National Guardsman?
