Trump vows he won't 'let Seattle be occupied by anarchists,' will 'straighten it out' if local leaders don't
Fox News ^ | June 11 2020 | Victor Garcia

President Trump told Fox News' Harris Faulkner in an exclusive interview Thursday that his administration is "not going to let Seattle be occupied by anarchists."

"If there were more toughness, you wouldn't have the kind of devastation that you had in Minneapolis and in Seattle. I mean, let's see what's going on in Seattle," Trump told Faulkner. "I will tell you, if they don't straighten that situation out, we're going to straighten it out."

The full interview will air on "Outnumbered Overtime" at 1 p.m. ET Friday.

Another one of those Trump “threats”. I think he believes he can goad them into doing as he asks. Good luck with that, Mr. President.

ImVho, our POTUS fixing THEIR MESS is what the Seattle “city fathers” REALLY, REALLY WANT, despite what they claim.

To that, I say: They made their bed. Let them lie in it.

Yours, TMN78247

I’m down for lighting a fire under all of them. Especially that self proclaimed ‘warlord’.

Every single one of them needs to be taught never to try anything like this again. Never. That’s the only thing beasts like this understand.

Is President Trump the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt? All talk and no stick?

Their "Utopia" will collapse on itself.
They are all ready starting to turn on each other.
Soon the food will run out.
The waste will pile up.
Arguments and violence among-st themselves.
They will learn the hard way.
It will be a beautiful thing.

The homeles [sic] people already took their food and they're begging for...I dunno, GrubHub? to bring them supplies.

So, has President Trump drawn a line in the sand? Does the city or state have x hours to act? Has he issued mobilization orders? Will this be federal law enforcement or military response? When?

All talk, no stick? Seems like it. H1B not ended, Antifa not declared terrorists, and so many other promises not fulfilled. Yes, better than Biden but still, shouldn’t we expect some action?

I think President Trump is goading Seattle’s leadership to double down on stupid. When things turn to total disaster, they will say Trump was right and the stupid will pay the price.

Time for a crackdown on the ringleaders at minimum. Trump seems paralyzed by anticipated media response and potential defections in his own party and staff. It makes him look very weak.

If evil is not confronted it will be emboldened.

Also, it would be nice if some other folks would show their support.

Once the First Mayor tells the police to clamp down on this stuff the rest will start doing the same thing. Governors also. They are afraid to be the one who finally says enough. The inner city Mayors are taking a lot of heat for this, and eventually will have to take action. The sweltering dog days of August are coming. I hope it happens before then.

The local government isn’t merely tolerating the ‘protest,’ they support it.

Meanwhile, the scumbags at Comcast, ATT, & Disney will omit the dangers & consequence of Seattle left unattended until the narrative blaming Trump evolves.

I truly regret the ATT subscribers/investors are so quiet — silence is violence, right?

Who is Trump protecting? A bunch of idiot dem voters who elected that idiot mayor? Let them all fester together. I think it’s a good experiment. Let’s see just how lovely their utopia will be. Soylent Green, anyone?

He did not pledge to end H1B visas.

Pres. Trump is making it clear where he stands on this. It is posturing, but he wants the sane voters to remember where he stood on the insanity, as contrasted with Biden.
