President Trump said Tuesday that the elderly man caught in a viral video being pushed to the ground by Buffalo cops “could be an ANTIFA provocateur,” suggesting the incident was a “set up” by the band of far-left militants.
“Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment,” the president said in a tweet.
“I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?” Trump added.

Amen. Why start another controversy?
Now Fact Check will come out with the guy is clergy, takes in stray puppies, Donates all his money to charity.
Just watched 2 segments on CNN discussing Trump’s tweet with John Harwood commenting and it was pure joy.
Sciutto: Sometimes on this broadcast we will call out false outrages statements...egregious claims without basis...video is disturbing...police lied.
Poppy: Taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Harwood: This tweet from the President is deranged... completely disconnected from reality... on OAN, a nutty outlet, presented a by Russian... by Sputnik, a Russian proganda network... in 2016 Trump welcomed help from Russia... doing precisely again.
Abby: Always been a pedaler of conspiracy theories... he created a conspiracy theory, the birther movement... he gets them from all kinds of sources... no succesful effort to keep this kind of information from the President... part of a pattern... he sees nothing wrong with horrorfying video.
Sweet.
“ He probably also took a dive for the camera but screwed up”
My first thought as well.
I don’t see a problem with Trump and this angle... besides it’s an old white guy. BLM, not even the MSM gives 2-rats about him.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown addressed Thursday’s incident in a press conference on Friday afternoon, saying that Gugino was an agitator who was trying to rile up the crowd and was asked to leave the area “numerous” times. “What we were informed of is that that individual was an agitator...
I hope that’s the case. Seems like when the younger Bush was in office we could have reasonable debates about his policies here on FR. With Trump, there is a group of folks that worship everythimg he says or does and allow no room for debate.
Trump was right.
When PDJT puts something out, even in the form of a question, he already KNOWS the answer.
Agreed. It’s disappointing to see this forum descend into losing its rationality to a religion of believing everything being some cosmic 4d chess game by the godking that us simpletons can’t understand. It’s actually worse than the cult worship Barry got. Most freepers used to have pride in the freedom to discuss different ideas like calm rational adults without things devolving into name calling each other.
Even if it’s a mistake, so what. People aren’t going to vote based on this.
The one thing I know for sure is that Trump knows how to win.
BINGO
“Trump wouldn’t pop off if [the evidence] didn’t [exist]. He never does. He loves making the media look like dicks.
This is another one.”
Exactly!!! I don’t approve of the tactic, but for our President who has insider information that far exceeds anything available to anyone else, the opportunities must be so juicy and so low-risk that I don’t blame him.
He receives intelligence from very reliable sources. I believe that he links to the web sites he does both to support them and to make the left think that he is impulsive and reckless — when he is consistently (alas, not unfailingly) not.
“””Agreed.

There is a saying “You go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had”.
A similar saying could be made of Trump: “You go to war with the General you have, not the General you wish you had”.
As our FReeper leaders says: “”””Welcome to Free Republic!
Established in 1996, Free Republic is one of the earliest and largest online gathering places for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We’re working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!”””
At this moment President Trump seems to be aligned with the goals expressed by Jim Robinson.
You two are dancing alone. Why not join the party?
And why not bend the knee, right?
Agree.
You are always right, Buckeye.
Busted!
Like Joe E. Brown said in the final scene of “Some Like It Hot”:
“Nobody’s perfect.”
Speaking of Joe E. Brown and the Pirates, his son Joe L. Brown was the general manager for many years.
