WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump warned this week that if the Minnesota government is unable to get the riots under control, he will be forced to start posting online using all-caps.
With tensions and violent anti-ICE protests escalating in Minneapolis, Trump said he may have no other choice but to start posting sternly worded all-caps statements on social media.
"I don't want to do it, but I will," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Melania has said, ‘Don, you need to cut it out with the caps lock.' But I'm getting close. If these liberal nut jobs don't stop encouraging all the destruction there in Minnesota, I'm gonna do it."
Minnesota officials responded to the president's threat with defiance.
"You don't scare us, Mr Trump," Minneapolis Governor Jacob Frey said. "Your all-caps posts are no match for our unrelenting wave of social resistance. FIGHT THE POWER! See, I can do it too."
Minnesota has become a hotbed for political activism, fueled by encouragement from local and state government officials. Protestors and ICE agents clashed over the past week, with President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act and turn on the caps lock on his phone in an effort to quell violence.
"I'll do it. DON'T TEMPT ME." Trump posted to Truth Social.
At publishing time, Trump had also raised the stakes by threatening to have Republicans in Congress hold hearings and make strongly worded speeches to condemn the riots.

SAD!

OMG, the Bee is waaaaay too funny!!
The hits just keep on coming!! ROFLMAO
And lots of exclamation points!!!! ‼️😂🤣
Trump will go into Cursive mode.
that would be an unconstitutional use of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
He’s just crazy enough to do it.
Frey is now the governor? That was quick.
I know there are a lot of people probably trying to pull him in different directions on this, but I see no ambiguity on this issue. These groups of thugs in Minnesota (and elsewhere) are not “organic”, they’re engineered and intended to cause so much chaos that the country essentially becomes ungovernable. When leftist mobs make it impossible to effectively enforce federal law and continuously incite others to join in, that is the very definition of sedition and insurrection, and it is not only appropriate, but is the duty of a president to declare an emergency through whatever legal mechanism available and crush the mob. Everything they’re doing is illegal and well outside the boundaries of a constitutional protest. They’re taking over streets, damaging property, attacking people, and using multiple measures to disrupt thoroughly legal efforts to remove illegal aliens from the country. This cannot be allowed to continue, or we effectively don’t really have a country.
Agree.
AND IT WILL BE YUGE!

And VERY sternly worded.
That’s more harsh than a stern letter.
Good one!
That’ll do it! The most irritating people on the internet post in ALL CAPS.
(but I know how to handle them. I skip on down to the next post :)
Ditto that.
The Republic is in a death spiral.
Water the tree.
Or not.
OMG!!! How true!!!!!!!
Would SOMEONE ACTUALLY GET TOUGH ON THESE POS’S??!!
