"Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task," he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.

President Trump has said masks are banned at anti-ICE protests Los Angeles, where police have clashed with demonstrators.

Trump has dispatched about 2,000 members of the National Guard to respond.

"Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task," he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.

"These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!" he added.

As our radical left-wing extremist betters are wont to tell us, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" and "No one is above the law."

"PROTESTS?"

How about riots? How about insurrection - Democrats love that word.

The irony of these people yelling “Martinez is a Traitor!” and “Quit youur job” is surreal. They have no self-awareness. They are openly saying that law enforcement’s allegiance is supposed to be to one race, not to the rule of law. Idiots. These people don’t deserve to be here.

And the signs that say “ICE Out of LA” make me want to carry a sign saying “Federal Money out of LA” or “Evict CA From the Union”

Deploy facial recognition.
Track people by their cell phones.

Make it Jan 6 all over again, but with an UNO reverse card.

How can the president “ban masks”? Can a legal scholar advise us on this one?

Before COVID you couldn’t walk into a bank wearing a mask. Or a liquor store late at night. Or a school, etc.

California actually has a law against masking at protests. Dates back to when the KKK held rallies. They don’t enforce it against their antifa buddies.

Trump is often a "tweet first, ask questions later" kinda guy.

Always has been. It's part of the package.

what I dont understand is why all the protestors wearing masks run when the police shoot tear gas at them? I thought the masks filtered everything including covid?

LMAO

The President can issue an E.O.

Then a Federal Judge in Massachusetts can issue an nationwide injunction against it.

That’s how the system works.

Are these trick-or-treaters?
It’s a tad bit early for Halloween.
