President Trump threatened to “take back” Seattle from protesters, tweeting that “ugly anarchists must be stooped.”
In response, state and local politicians told him to go back to his bunker beneath the White House; and keep out of local business.
Earlier this week, Seattle police left the area and demonstrators took over, cordoning off several blocks they declared the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone”, now the site of peaceful protests.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said the police pullback was done “to proactively de-escalate interactions between protestors and law enforcement.” But Trump was unhappy with the move even though it at least temporarily worked.
Donald Trump
Radical Left Governor JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!
Donald J. Trump
Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!
Durkan fired back by referring to the White House bunker Trump was rushed to as demonstrations broke out in D.C.:
Mayor Jenny Durkan
Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who represents Seattle in Congress, also made a reference to the bunker incident:
Rep. Pramila Jayapal
Don’t you have a bunker to be in?
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee also told the president to butt out:
Jay Inslee
A man who is totally incapable of governing should stay out of Washington state’s business. “Stoop” tweeting.

Trump probably knows that the "domestic" thugs are backed in large part with foreign money (Soros? China?). That makes it a federal matter in my eyes.
Not even Batman would go into this "autonomous zone"! Let 'em crash.
Can this continue on into November? Can it take over NYC.
Nobody’s going to count the votes from these so-called “autonomous zones”. It would be a thrill to see New York go Republican.
When evil reared its ugly head, Sir Robin bravely turned and fled.
That first is a helluva picture. Is that Haiti?
I would be banned for saying what it makes me think, but the one nut looks like he’s trying to shoot his own foot. The other, obviously, traded his pants for the RPG.
I read the story, but I think you are exaggerating some with the inch of his life bit. Inch of his life would be comatose, hospitalization, intensive care, attempted murder charges. He was able to complain that his phone was stolen, so I don't think inch of his life applies here. It is better to stick to facts, rather than sensationalizing stories beyond their actual importance. Were you one of the 2-million-dead scare posters in early coronavirus days?
I hope seattle is in ashes by nightfall. Could have avoided it by listening to Trump, but didn’t. The democrats are fully responsible for all the injury and damage. Please, grant me my wish.
I'm old enough to remember when that honor belonged to "Drumpf" or "Bone Spurs" or "Cheeto" and on and on.
They have 9 million comedians on the left, with only one comedy writer and he's not funny.
Okay he was beaten up and had his phone stolen by the leader of this “zone”. And he is still alive.
That peaceable enough for you?
Yeah, Trump has got to do more than tweet. I know it’s hard because the networks won’t even carry his talks and he is being suppressed in a big way.
But he’s got to get out front and lead on this, and tweeting alone won’t do it.
We haven’t had a President since Reagan who understood the value of Teddy Roosevelt’s advice to “Speak softly, and carry a big stick.”
This was the reaction Trump wanted and expected. The exposes the left for the insurrectionist scum they are. They will be given plenty of rope before they hang themselves.
The risk is if he is perceived as weak and his threats are idle ones, and therefore loses credibility.
Trump needs to continuously attack the leftist/Democrat Mayors and Governors who are allowing this destruction. Do not let one go. Ask them publicly - WHEN they you going to solve this?
Much of the Left would love to have Trump create another “Kent state” and at this point, most Democrats would agree.
Agreed. He’s going to get the reputation as a “Paper Tiger” if he doesn’t back it up.
“Are there ANY real patriot citizens left in Seattle?”
There are plenty of Hell’s Angeles in that neck of the woods. It would be fun to watch if they decided to ‘liberate’ this public land for...well, the public, to access and use.
I used to think that a lot of what was directed at Obama was over the line. But what was directed at him is nothing compared to the contempt and total lack of respect people, including elected officials, throw at Trump on an almost daily basis. Those elected officials doing it are a complete embarrassment to the country.
Really can’t be compared to Southern States seceding.
It’s a new game.
The fake news whores just waiting for their chance to turn this into Kent State. Do NOTHING until the city and state leadership admit they’ve lost control of the situation. They own this.
Wellll... The people of Washington state got the government they elected... The people of Seattle got the government they elected...
Here in Michigan we are going to try to fire our so called governor... Perhaps the good people of Washington state should try to do the same....
The only word that puts FEAR into a politician is the word RECALL...
