Trump threatens to deploy military as George Floyd protests continue to shake the U.S.

, President Donald Trump threatened to deploy the military if states and cities failed to quell the demonstrations.

Trump stopped short of invoking the Insurrection Act, an archaic law from 1807 that would allow Trump to deploy active-duty U.S. troops to respond to protests in cities across the country. "At this time, the president has not enacted the Insurrection Act," a senior Defense Department official told CNBC. "I refer you to the White House for more."

Following his remarks, Trump left the White House and walked through the square, and it appeared strongly as though the riot police had forcibly cleared the square for the sole purpose of clearing a path for the president. "You have to dominate, if you don't dominate you're wasting your time. They're going to run over you. You're going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate," the president told governors.

"General Milley is here who's head of Joint Chiefs of Staff, a fighter, a warrior, and a lot of victories and no losses. And he hates to see the way it's being handled in the various states. And I've just put him in charge," Trump told governors.

Tear gas was not used = FALSE NEWS!

CNBC is promoting more lib media propaganda. The 'peaceful protests' that the lib media likes to talk about are being hijacked and used as a catalyst for mayhem and destruction. The Governors and Mayors main objective seems to be not harming rioters.

The protesters seem so peaceful. They burned a church!

For someone who call themselves the law and order President better research the law and find out what he can and cannot do ! You look like a buffoon!

MAGA!

quit your crying little man, curfew coming, they caused damage previously, typical demorat just like little Andrew.......always crying about something.............NBC/MSNBC/CNBC.........all the same

White House will going to turn in black house after deployment of military forces. Than afterword us president will take care his biff tower

You frickin liars , nice bs headline, you know damm well he is talking about rioters and looters , and only if the cities don’t control them first , becuz if they don’t control them individual citizens will! Is that what you really want ? A civil war? You are despicable

The fact that trump held a bible for protection i am surprised he did not get stroke down by god in his racist ways and views in which many authorities have set their career off of bases of racist ways and view and authorities had set there career on hate .... :

*peaceful protesters*

And trump criticised HK police ! What a joke. Maybe he should get his own house in order first

No mention of looters, killers and rioters, etc? Only Trump wants to tear up nice and calm protesters? Your lies are done. We can see your hate. You're losing us!

WHY does he like to 'shoot himself in the foot' by such actions. Combined actions may come back to haunt him this fall

Trump will end his chances in 2020 with a stunt like that and his operatives know that.

For a photo Op...

trumps entire presidency is defined by controlling narratives. Silence witnesses at a rig an impeachment trial. Silence porn stars with attorneys. Silence any witnesses that would testify before Congress. And now he wants us to be silent on abuse that goes back decades. NO

George Clooney Calls Racism a Pandemic in Essay About George FloydIn a powerful, new essay, George Clooney is showing his support for the black community and addresses anti-black racism in America: 'This is our pandemic. It infects all of us, and in 400 years we've yet to find a vaccine.' I thought he died. Huh There is no vaccine. Racism will ALWAYS be there much like rapist and pedophiles. But we MUST make sure racist are not in position of power like cops etc... Becoming a cop should be much harder and firing much easier. But unions stop that from happening. Under Obama, many blacks died, but you were silent. Today, Democrats, like Republicans, come to power through war. You all need power not for the sake of the people. No more America, you are all destroying it leading to civil wlane. You allow Russia and China to destroy America
