The explicit threat comes days after Trump ordered soldiers to put down protests in Los Angeles

Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to forcibly put down any protests that spoil the military parade he has ordered up for his birthday on Saturday to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding during the American Revolutionary War.

Speaking in the Oval Office following an impromptu event to discuss forest management ahead of the upcoming summer wildfire season, Trump was riffing on what he described as violent excesses by protesters who’ve been demonstrating against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles when he was asked about the possibility of protests against the June 14 parade.

He reiterated the explicit threat a moment later, telling “those people who want to protest” that they would be “met with very big force” once more.

Look at his fat wrinkly face just squeezing so hard to put a couple of cogent words together. You can hear his neurons just flapping loose.

Gross and pitiful.

Nothing like Trump being a little bitch to unite the country. I never expected the unity to come in such an unexpected way.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Big? So, not his penis or hands.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm coincidentally going to be in DC this weekend for a concert. Am I gonna get run over by a tank? Asking for a friend...

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You could also fall out of a window, or mysteriously disappear in the middle of the night. There are options you know.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

True, I'd prefer none of those options. But, beggers cant be choosers.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wr need Ukraine style drones

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Drones are banned within something like 30 miles of DC.

Unlimited funding and permanent emplacements I can't imagine they don't have countermeasures.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It would be cool to see how specifically these countermeasures work.

When you said you will remember Tiananmen Square we thought you meant the good guys

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Where would he find all the military people at such short notice to ... ohhhhhhhh.

[–] nao@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe it doesn't matter to him, but is there a legal basis that could be used to ban any protest in this case?

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

you are correct, laws don't matter to him. He's repeatedly shown he will just ignore any court orders. And there's little the courts can do about that.
