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.

Trumps worst enemy is often his mouth. Let someone else go down this angle.
It really looked like he was asking the cops for the directions to the nearest nursing home.
He explained he had the Covid and was following the governor’s orders.
Could be???
He had an earpiece in....
In his left hand is a motorcycle helmet he was waving around..
His arrest record is nice and long...
He went in to start trouble, and trouble is what he got...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...
Easy to trick the media, set up it was.
Fine except no one else who matters will. This was an Alinsky move and the SOB is going to get away with it.
No one else has 70 million followers on Twitter that is on our side.
and even what people thought was some of his craziest assumptions turned out to be true

Nobody else in his party is. He’s flying solo in The Swamp.
The Buffalo police ought to go on the offense on this one. They should charge the protester with all the applicable violations they can. Also, never apologize for knocking him down. That shows weakness.
I hope they took his phone into evidence to see what he was up to and who he was communicating with.
Not only that, but he was so kind offering to return the lost officer’s police helmet.
Something tells me that there is an extremely high probability that 75 year old Martin Gugino was a 25 year old Martin Gugino participating in the Race and Vietnam Riots in 1970.
it has been my observation that the leftist twenty somethings, who were McGovernites in 1970, have never given up their leftist ideals.

American Thinker did a detailed analysis of the fall. There also is video of the man laughing and joking with EMT personnel as he’s being loaded into an ambulance.
The press will be all over him on this and that’s just what he wants. My guess is that they now have the evidence.
His blog page brags “arrested four times, convicted none.” Or, in Bill Ayers parlance, “free as a bird.”

I agree. Don’t be the one to say it, even if it’s true... which I did think that the thing he was doing with the device was very odd. I am sure he feels fiercely that no one can get the word out like he can, but the look just isn’t good sometimes when you need to get some demographics back into your camp in November.
“””His arrest record is nice and long...”””
Can you post the details? Thanks.
These ANTIFA types don’t exist in a vacuum. There is a deep and well-established support network on college campuses that has been operating for years. Bill Barr needs to put down the bagpipes and begin the perp walks of professors who have been providing material support. TODAY!
Is the guy from Buffalo? Does he post in solidarity with Antifa posts on Facebook and Twitter?
You should run for president.
The President would not say in this case unless he knew for sure. Why risk getting involved otherwise?
You are correct, though, he likes to talk.
Better response would have been: “Let’s not rush to judgment before the facts are in and the cops’ side of the story has been told.”
