"No, Radical Left anarchists, agitators, looters or protesters will not be knocking down or harming the Washington Monument, the Lincoln or Jefferson Memorials," Trump tweeted. "If they even try, an automatic 10 years in prison. Sorry!" Trump's warning included "just about any other" federal statues or monuments as well.
Trump has been vocal about protecting monuments and punishing vandals, especially following incidents involving a monument of Andrew Jackson and vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial and St. John's Church., offenders can face up to 10 years behind bars and a fine for damaging or attempts to damage "any structure, plaque, statue, or other monument on public property commemorating the service of any person or persons in the armed forces of the United States.

Sounds like a statement or even a warning, but not a threat
this isn’t a threat it’s a promise. Thanks POTUS
Unless Congress makes that law, he’s blowing smoke
👨🦰President Trump issued a warning - ok great but no action or anyone put in jail. STOP WITH THE TALK AND TAKE ACTION THAT IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT 'ACTION'
fuckingmoron
Good thing our President has his priorities straight. Don’t worry about that covid stuff...look at these statues!
But if you’re a crook in Trump’s administration that’s ok because you’ll be pardoned & probably given a lifetime pension plus perks.
Good job! What took you so long Trump? Dude, seriously. What took you so long Arrest them all! They are vandalizing and should be arrested ASAP!
LOCK CRIMINAL THUGS UP!!!!!!
That's an easy fix. Don't teardown statues. Use democracy. Libs sometimes make things harder than they are.... SMH...
About time
They should be in jail for vandalism anyways
WoW, & frees felons & liars

Hahah he is a joke!!! TraitorTrump
Amen to that.
Fox News is UNWATCHABLE, esp. on weekends! Corona corona corona ... wait! And MORE CORONA!!!!! VirusHoax FakeNewsMedia FauxNews
I’d actually suggest death sentence but ok 10 years.🤷♂️
With approaching 140k dead, no administration plan to combat the virus and a looming economic tsunami approaching us, Trumo focuses here.....a total failure as a leader.
10 years are not enough for prison term, It should be 50 years in prison for mongoloids and chips that destroy our country.
How about an automatic 10 yr sentence for Trump failing to address Putin putting a $100,000 bounty on our servicemen and womens heads in Afghanistan. 20 have died in 2019 and only 3 are being investigated, why? And Trump does nothing.
After almost 4 years he still doesn’t know how law is made in America.
Not enough!
