President Donald Trump on Thursday shared a letter on Twitter that referred to the peaceful protesters who were forcibly dispersed from a park near the White House on Monday evening as"terrorists."
The letter from veteran attorney and former Trump lawyer John Dowd appears to be addressed to former Secretary of Defense James Mattis and rebuts Mattis' Wednesday statement castigating Trump's response to the nationwide protests after the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. "The phony protesters near Lafayette were not peaceful and are not real," Dowd's letter claimed, without citing any evidence.
Peaceful protestors. Boy this didn’t age well. At least you say “mostly” peaceful now
I just pity the dumb heads been used to look stupid at the expense of giving them fools jobs..cnn ain't a network but just a studio no matter what you write about trump atleast he was once a president and he fought all you haters 💯 without fail..
Since 2019, whatever him or his month piece said, means nothing to me. He always go both ways, but in the end, just to predictable, his way, not THE PEOPLE’s way.
He obviously wasn't talking about peaceful protestors then, duh. Stop the drama.
Yes, antifa are terrorists
There he goes with that campaign crap again! The only terrorist is the one in the Oval office giving orders of police brutality!
Impeach him get him out of office he did enough damage, before he brings down America to bigger disasters.
But Trump does NOT refer to white supremacists carrying military grade weapons in a threatening manner, dominating a state capitol to protest temporary closure of non-essential services due to a pandemic-! Or mass shootings by similar people. I'd call THEM domestic terrorists.
We all watched with disgust. Nothing he says or does can explain this away. Who thought this was a good idea?
Trump is a terrorist
Does CNN ever tell the truth? I catch these fake news stories everyday! Fact check CNN or you will never get the truth. VoteDemsOut 4moreyears MAGA Takebackthehouse
Tabloid
Funny! Then how do we know the real terrorist if peaceful protesters are called terrorist.
CNN FAKE NEWS, ENEMIES OF PEOPLE
Mmmo
Of course he would. Horrible, horrible man.
Looting and destroying property is not a peaceful protest. Fake News take note
Trump is trash
When you veer too far from the center, no matter left or right, you end up in the gutter
The only terrorist is the one calling the kettle black. He’s the reason for all the turmoil. 100% Coward!
He’s a terrorist to our country and it’s people.
These so called “terrorists” (as tRump puts it) are PROTESTERS, American citizens, and VOTERS🗳. We will VoteTrumpOut. VoteHimOut2020.
Why, O'Why is anyone listening to this child anymore?
He’s the terrorist.
I will be so glad when you are gone!!!!! Iam sick of you!!!
Since when is throwing rocks at police officers 'peaceful'?
Fake news
What a TURD is Trump! He would say anything to please himself. Today he said that George Floyd would consider this a “great day”. I don’t even have words bad enough to describe this piece of crap claiming to be President. Maybe, when his youngest son grows up, he’ll realize !!
So does the label as 'terrorist' include the Australian News team that was hit by your police force and their Prime Minister called him about?🤔🤔🤔😱
Throwing shit isn't what I call peaceful
So many lies. Go away CIA news.
America loves President Trump!
twitkalk Isn't it fascinating how they are terrorist, but he still doesn't do what he does with actual terrorists? Like where is the argument, if they are terrorist, then shoot them. Oh you don't wanna shoot them? Why? Because THEY ARE NOT TERRORISTS? Genius
So lighting the presidents church on fire is “protesting” but when its a black church, it’s white supremacy? They tried a tit for tat and you turn a blind eye against crimes directed towards a religious place of worship. Do you guys take your crazy pills in the morning or nah?
ddale8 Can we Americans be fooled once again by rhetoric? Will too many of us accept the 'terrorist' label our leadership prefers? It is hard enough to comprehend Trump's election, but his continued support by too many GOP & by too many ordinary Americans is even more inconceivable.
ddale8 The only terrorist I can see is Herr Trump and his orange shirts
CNN is the enemy within our borders they provoke people to hate each other with their fake news they generate The angst oppression and control for the Democratic party CNN is anti-American
This is Trumpism, pure and simple.
These are some problems of our contemporary political actors, the are ruling the people best on their owe whim and caprice. That is why Trump label peaceful protests as torrorists as they used to do on other less privileged countries and kills innocent civilians.
He is full of horse hockey
60 Secret Service Officers were injured as the violent crowd tried to storm The White House! CNN and their puppet masters the Psychotic Dems want anarchy even if it results in death of innocents. Covid didn’t do the job sufficiently so let’s support and aid Rioting in the streets
I mean protesters aren't the ones with big guns shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at the police. Donald is literally TERRORIZING people with military to 'calm' these protests. But this only further proves that he lacks leadership and empathy.
He wouldn’t know , he would be in his bunker
Don't believe what you see, believe the Giant Orange Turd!
😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Horrible editing CNN. You put the quotes are around terrorists not peaceful protesters.
Chinese news network says what?

ddale8 They’re only terrorists in realDonaldTrump head b/c he himself is terrorized by them. He hides in his bunker, he is fortifying the White House, he doesn’t even trust his regular security details, he has to bring in a secret armed force. trumpsAScaredyCat

The Cowardly Terrorist Left.
OMG!!! When is someone going to step in, and end this madness
He is a stereotypical white Nationalist spreading fear and loathing against his opponents The name calling is a main part of the Brain washing. With supporters blindly following and repeating slogans without thinking for themselves just waiting to be fed more propaganda of Hate
The trump administration should be regarded as terrorist to the United States they’ve done more damage to American democracy then the protesters!
Surely by far realDonaldTrump is the most stupid president of All time lol. trump you need to sit at President BarackObama's feet and let him teach you about politics, uniting people, ease tension and how to answer questions please. . . You making a fool of yourself day by day
I’m surprised that realDonaldTrump could walk across that park with his bone spurs! Must have been terribly uncomfortable. What a hero...
Trump is America's answer to Usama bin Laden, North Korea's Kim Jong Un, and Germany's Adolf Hitler. Let's take back our country from this criminal and ignorant Republican party. I ask all other decent Republicans to vote 100% with the Democratic party in 2020 to save America.
I fervently hope that this so called President does not get another 4 years in the Whitehouse. He is the antichrist incarnate.
CNN fake news!!!
He’ll say anything to justify his unlawful actions. He believes he is above the law and is living out his fantasy as a fascist. The GOP is compromised. They will allow him to violate the Constitution for greed and power.
LETS JUST FACE IT. THIS GUY IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO RIP BIDEN APART IN A DEBATE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 CNN FAKENEWS MAGA
Wow unacceptable
Fake news
second lie, we will make america great again
Time to bring these fellas in...
Just because peaceful protesters scare him doesn't make them terrorist. It makes PINOTrump a coward.
The guys in this picture are the terrorists.
democracy does not work. communism was a better system. it is quiet in russia and china there is no democracy
You’re the terror!
Scumbag press. I have been watching your coverage from the UK and it’s the most biased, brainwashing coverage I have ever seen. Floyd was a violent criminal. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM
People who believe your headlines are suckers
cnn - Chinese network news
If the president of America says they are “terrorists” then that’s good enough for the police. A drone strike is the minimum acceptable response on the word of such an austere individual.
It was only a matter of time before the Republican 'War on Terror' rhetoric started being deployed against common American citizens of all backgrounds.
He is correct! They killed people just last weekend
Wasn't this president condoning the protests in Michigan? But now these protestors are terrorists he says. Talk about double standard. Does he ever hear himself?
Hannibal Lecter are you hungry for useless meat?
How is he President?
Idiot
That’s not the legal definition of terrorists/terrorism realDonaldTrump Drump
For all the realDonaldTrump voters I just wanna say thank you for bringing a new Hitler into this world (assholes) and to realDonaldTrump I can’t say anything because pigs do not speak our language so “he” will never understand what I said
Only 5 months to go
Takes one to know one
Trump waves a bible he's never read. Stands in front of a church he never attends. Calls for the military and ran away with bone spurs. He's a fraud and the true terrorist against democracy.
He just keeps on talking like an idiot
Trump always a good joker..keep it going..usa going to another level..in his period...unfaithful leader in the history of america
Russia Russia 😁
African Americans for Trump 2020. We see what CNN and MSM trying to do.. we not buying into what you are selling is. No more DemoCracks in office
Stop confusing the word Peaceful with the word terrorists
BenwickBrick Nice. What a garbage human being.
CNN is terrorist
He really just can’t help himself. He may as well just declare himself subprime leader of the new united states
VeryMetal_dev Hé is unfit to serve
Human bump American president
ShaneWatch To Trumps core, he wants to order the military to open fire on the protesters.
IF A NATION (US) CAN NOT REFORM ITS ARBITRARY LAWS ITS GOVRRNMENT (TRUMP) MUST BE OVERTHROWN! Victore Halls.
People who burn down churches are terrorists. Burning down a church is a hate crime.
Peaceful people dont riot
Yes. They are! Report the facts.
Don’t believe anything Cnn says!

Time for Trump to go
rmcdaniel307 Speaking of terror.... that’s certainly what this guy is doing to us.
Only terrorist I see is the big orange clown himself
Has anyone considered ? The manpower assembled at White House and actions taken by staff there. is a clear indication of a militia being assemble by Trump for a take over of power
Step 3 from Trump SOP: 1. Deny responsibility 2. Deny facts 3. Blame victims

POS - I HATE HIM!!!
Cnn..... you’re going to fail huge. Again. But keep poking the bear which are Americans that are tired of your liberal BS. America has to ask itself one question.... does it want all US cities to be like all these cities that have been run by Dems for decades. It’s not a hard dec
Nuremberg Trials but for cops

They had a gun They were throwing things They were threatening the police Very common 'reasons' for the justification of brutality.
Cover story. Projected lawsuit defense...not going to work because you simply lie too much...
LOL. The hydroxychloroquine study used by CNN to shame Trump has been retracted. It was garbage. Trump was right--again.
2020Biden
Tough guy hiding in his bunker behind a wall he ordered constructed. There has never been a weaker looking president in our history.
They are terrorist.
Where are all of the 'Don't Tread On Me' people? You all purport to be the militia against tyrannical governments but yet you won't stand in the face of un-named, no badge having, secret police force coming down on American Citizens. Take of that silly garb!
The president attitude is a reflection of his voters 😂😂😂
CNN has no credibility left.

It’s simple people. They were removed in fear they would follow him to church where Covid 19 crowd restrictions are still in force.
Wake up call, there was never a democracy in the US...Trump just proved it!!!
Soo cnn continues to “both sides” when? How?
Why not talk about realDonaldTrump raping litlke boys and girls? PedoTrump
Bottom line, the country is on its knees with massive death, economic depression, record unemployment and civil unrest. Chinas dictatorship is rising, throwing their power around and destabilizing the Pacific. We are entering the 1930s and Trump isn’t Roosevelt, he’s Buchanan.
45 has to go TrumpResignow MarchOnWashington2020
I’m sure it’s what Putin told his to say.
Terrorists Seriously The man will say anything to justify his despicable actions.
He is right
He President is a God damned liar.
I think we know a terrorist when we see one,Donald.😖
Show us video that the DC protesters were violent. You can’t because they weren’t.
Are you so sure with bottles etc in the bushes? You know better that there have been a mix of agitators... see the night before...burning church... was that peaceful in your eyes?
Yep they are No respect They were asked to move on The President has rights also
And your 10 viewers believed that headline?😂😂😂🤣🤣
Terrorist - a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. Don't think it's the protesters that are the terrorists here.
realDonaldTrump
Tweeted a letter Uh yes sure
When is he going to label the boogaloo individuals whose agenda is war against the American government and violence against Americans as terrorists?
Huh! “Peaceful protestors forceably removed”. Huh!
Trump is a monster
trump is the only terrorist in this program. He and his administration have attacked this country from the inside. It will take years to repair the damage. In the mean time he and his rich buddies have and will continue to Benefit from it financially☮️
What about these thugs?
YouAintBlack
Why does CNN needs an army of police to protect their headquarter in Atlanta from peaceful protesters for a week now?
Wow.
Hold the religious leaders teaching chosen matters responsible.
Such harsh words for peace loving civilians. Just saying.
this is our president being presidential. He is not a racist. He is a leader.
crook
Words have meaning and it is taught in elementary school.
Mr President, with all due respect You must be an idiot...young protest is ingrained in the United States, try engaging, actually listen, open your poor broken heart sir, please.
Don’t forget that one of the terrorists was the reverend at the very church he gassed people out of the way of just to stand in front with a bible. 1) you couldn’t write this shizzle if you tried, and 2) it was a rubbish photo anyway after all that... fit for the local Advertiser
Meanwhile.... 🤦🏾♂️
Time to change the name of 'White' House. That itself is deemed racist.
Because peaceful protesters strike terror in the heart of Trump.
Lie
ter·ror·ist /ˈterərəst/ noun plural noun: terrorists a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. 'By definition, Donald Trump is a terrorist.'
What ignorance and hypocrisy, he doesn’t view white protestors demanding to open the country as terrorists! We’re really in trouble, he’s dangerous!
Not many in this crowd wearing masks outside. What was that recommendation again when we are outdoors? Barr(AG) said there was no connection between Trump’s walking tour to St. John’s Church and crowd control measures used to move the crowd so he could do a photo op at church.
Could this be more FAKE NEWS fromthe CNN ROBOTS
Has anyone tried to verify the authenticity of this letter? Is there a reason that this letter should be different than all the other BS he posts? Are we sure he didnt just have someone type it up and then take a pic of it?
Fake news at its finest..
Intentionally starting a fire then proclaiming the solution is to give him ultimate power via military to put down those terrorists. Where have we seen this before? Oh yes, from the Nazi Germany's Dictators for Dummies guide.
Agree, so what do you called the demonstrators in Hong Kong?
Yes there were ANTIFA terrorists in that crowd.
Suuuuure
Those peaceful protestors tried to make a run at the White House. Take off the blinders
It gives me a lot of hope to see the young generation of all colors taking a stand for justice and equality for all. Shame on People who still support this administration
Ffs the whole world on live television how you treated your own peaceful citizens, everyday you try to change the narrative on who and why you did this, saying that you were prepping for a curfew that was 30 minutes off by gassing and beating without warning doesn’t work either.
What do you call people throwing frozen water bottles, rocks. They are definitely not peaceful. They are not even protesters, they are rioters.
Trump 'shared a letter on Twitter'? Why didn't he simply tweet, like he always does? Something about his insisting on riding into town on a 'letter' bothers me. Does he think this adds more gravitas? Makes him look like less of a 14-year old who was held back a couple grades?
Americans are now terrorists in Anerica according to the trump dictator.
CNN always inciting, lying and creating division.
Yup we can thank
Someone needs to break his fingers and gag him!
We now need our nation to be a better place to raise our families in. Unfortunately, neither the coming election nor our politicians will likely be able to provide that. We, however, the vast, quiet, thoughtful majority can do that ourselves, without gov’t and without Big Money..
Where is the letter let's read for ourselves, you hide the letter then highlight a word from the letter to undermine President Trump. Hypocrisy
FakeNewsAlert
He once referred to CNN as news!
Wow you're writing a fictional novel. Your label says 'News' Story reads pretty biased.
This man is cuckoo
Trump appeared as a top result in some searches for ‘racist’ on Twitter
Trump’s decision to share the letter is not shocking. Like most communists, he sees himself & the state as one and same, so what’s good for him is good for the state. He doesn’t care about Constitutional rights. Vote Communist Trump out!
End Trump’s use of secret police military forces against nonviolent protesters. End Donald Trump’s fascist leanings. Don’t vote for Trump this year.
Trump is a total A Hole!!!
So somebody no longer affiliated with Donald Trump wrote in a letter referring to people who were not genuine protesters, who were just there to cause trouble, referring to Antifa rioters as 'terrorists'. And you wonder why CNN is referred to as fakenews ?
This is why we have the 25th amendment. Our leaders need to do something about this man, he’s not stable or fit to lead.
He’s a habitual liar!
realDonaldTrump supported the protesters that were unhappy with Covid-19 safety rules, even the ones taking AR15s into a state capital!!! Is he against the George Floyd murder protesters because he doesn't support their cause or because they're not carrying AR15s?
Can you imagine wanting 4 more years of this shit?
Storm a state capital with guns - totally cool. Stand with a sign - terrorist. Only in Trump's simple little pea-brain.
They only burned the church. Terrorists is a little vague!
So, the people are the enemy?
CNN is so fake
So
If you ask me he’s the terrorist. He’s terrorizing this country for the last 3 years.
TheSpugsi
Liar liar
🖕and your two legged dog!
Our Government is Delusional. Our Constitutional Right to redress our grievances is enduring. We the People will not back down Donny.
Sounds pretty accurate. These terrorists were pushing against the barricade to the point secret service had to step in. The White House should've been cleared of these thugs with water canons.
please stop calling him 'president'. He don't talk, look, act like one. And it just feels wrong.
You dont call fellow Americans terrorist.. that is seriously Fascist talk.
The terrorist here is The Fascist Donald Trump. He must resign or be removed from office for violating his oath of office virtually every day since he took it.
Right now, its all terrorist bc as protesting, police are being killed. Protest like Fint Mi. did. Safely, got their point across. No violence either. Ya know, like a adult would.
Stubborn old man 🤣😂
Keep dividing the country, CNN.
Well he’s a dipshit soooo
Considering he calls neo-nazis 'good people' and several dictators his 'friends', I'd be honoured to be called a terrorist.
They were. Other channels have the pics. You never covered it
Les affranchis...
Ppl of the world are enslaved to their sins controlled by the demonic powers in high places. Don't know where their going or what they are doing here. They can only be set free from their darkness. & enslavement by being born again being filled with the Holy spirit meeting Jesus.
communistnewsnetwork
Did you even listen to press conf? Verified again by barr. Zero correlation between two events. Barr ordered it Mon morn before he knew of church walk (that came up in aft) due to the terrorist lighting fire on church and trying to break past barrier to WH
Bralalalala knows a lot about police bigotry as trans...never a criminal conviction or even trial just a lot of false arrests. George Lloyd Floyd however was the real deal. His police relationships developed over armed robbery counterfeit money fentanyl..he deserves recognition!
Throwing bricks and bottles at police are NOT peaceful. The fucking spin this network does should be illegal.
You guys are fuckin criminals, he’s not saying the protesters are terrorists, he says protesting is good. You guys have college graduates and I find it hard to believe you guys didn’t understand that he was saying those who caused the violence are the terrorists. The violence!!!
