Trump On Seattle: ‘If We Have to Go in, We’re Going to Go in’
Breitbart ^ | 06/11/20

Posted on 06/12/2020 7:21:11 AM PDT by Enlightened1

During a portion of an interview with the Fox News Channel released on Thursday, President Trump stated that he wouldn’t allow Seattle to “be occupied” and “If we have to go in, we’re going to go in.” Trump also urged Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) to use the National Guard but stated that “one way or the other, it’s going to get done. These people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city.”

Trump said, “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. But I will tell you if they don’t straighten that situation out, we’re going to straighten it out.”

He added, “What I mean is very simple, we’re not going to let Seattle be occupied by anarchists. … If we have to go in, we’re going to go in. The governor’s either going to do it, let the governor do it, he’s got great National Guard troops, he’ll — he can do it. But one way or the other, it’s going to get done. These people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city.”

Might I suggest President Trump look at the absolute poop-show that has become Chicago.

Cops are getting shot at, lawlessness reigns and Mayor Groot here can do nothing about it other than get his/her/its hair cut and curse at the President.

Stores across the city have been looted and burned. 18 people murdered in less than 24 hours and the most violent weekend of the year just passed. This weekends weather will be perfect for more shootings, violence, "protests" and murders.

It's going to be a long and deadly summer in Chicago.

A tide of woke lemmings running off the cliff of Marxism.

He can’t impose his will on the District of Columbia, a federal construction, but he is going to do so in a state across the country.

That would be a neat trick.

“These people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city.”

Wonder if the bulk of the citizens of Seattle like that autonomous zone?

Here goes again. I hope this topic doesn’t get pulled for no apparent reason like the last one I spent time replying to did.

This is probably mean of me because I know there must be a handful of conservatives suffering in these lib/Dem run cities and states but I hope the President lets them stew for a while longer so that the entire country can see how libs and Dems govern and how lawless and corrupt their cities and states are. It needs to be burned into every American citizen’s brain.

All I can do from here is pray for the few conservatives that they survive it or find a way to leave.

Because Trump is for ending CHAZ, Democrats and the Media now have be all in to support it.

Trump now should do nothing, other than tweet every few days about it, to keep it in the media.

2 weeks from now, when Liberal rich white kids from the suburbs realize their dreams of a socialist utopia were confused, juvenile fantasies, what will the media/Democrats do?

Noooo! Let Seattle be an example to all. This is what they wanted, so let them have it. If there are any testicles left in Seattle, it’s time for them to retake control of their own city. Let the warlord show them what happens when anarchy rules.

"We have one man standing against the tide. One."

Indeed the President stands strong verbally. Yet would the military follow orders under the Insurrection Act? Recent comments by Esper and Milley suggest not.

Ok as long as they wear masks and beat the shit out of everyone inside regardless of race or gender with equal intensity from at least six feet away.

The Antifa thugs have demanded the Mayor of Seattle resign. Playing nice didn’t work did it, Mr. Mayor?

He will...he will also keep trolling the mayor and Gov until the residents get sick of it and they finally do something...this is going to be fun to watch.

Suspect this would require request for assistance from Governor of Washington

Trump will just wait until the big Seattle-area corporations—Amazon, Costco, Microsoft and Starbucks—start grousing about this mob interfering with their operations.
