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.

The President retweeted a link to the story from OANN.
A common tactic of his. Retweet interesting stories without necessarily saying that he agrees with them or not.
I think Trump’s comments are excellent.
It undermines the whole image of ANTIFA being this huge scary threat if goofy 75 year old men are its footsoldiers.
He was treated well.
They could have handed him over to Cuomo to be put in a COVID nursing home death camp.
Look for a slow motion detail of his actions and then check his social media.
He’s a Trump hater, an agitator and was relying on his “old man” status to clearly scan at least 2 cops communications gear.
He probably also took a dive for the camera but screwed up.
Sorry do your own research. I’m tired of this chit.
I am glad to see Trump push back against another false narrative. Also, he is making it clear that he is on the side of law and order.
Oops! Forgot to mention that in the slow motion view the cop could easily have thought the “old” man was reaching for his gun with a phalanx of cops moving up - law-abiding citizens would move out of the way with a riot underway.
IMHO.
FWIW
Theres a cell phone video of a young man engaging Gugino minutes before his fall.
Kudos to this man - he sniffed out that Gugino was there to make trouble. They should make him a lead anchor on the local evening news

Trump wouldn't pop off if they didn't. He never does. He loves making the media look like dicks.
This is another one.
No. People like you are.
“It undermines the whole image of ANTIFA being this huge scary threat if goofy 75 year old men are its footsoldiers.”
Yeah, getting hit by a brick, hammer, acid, he threw wouldn’t even hurt./sarc
He said they were insanely violent but Omars was by far the worst. They were ripping Trump hats and t-shirts off people, starting them on fire and then beating the ever loving sh*t out of them.
Like I said though, good point which deserves repeating.
;-)
Nobody else _will_ go down this angle.
Trump’s mouth is never an enemy to him - but it is to his opponents. They’re usually the ones saying his mouth is a problem.
He would not have said it unless he wanted people to begin thinking that it’s true - and he probably knows it is true but doesn’t come out and say it. It’ll stew for a while, people will say his mouth is his own enemy, it’s conspiracy, it’s false... and then it will be found true... about like always
ANTIFA is more sophisticated than you may think.
They tend to use people who don’t fit the typical footsoldier profile (twentysomething skull full o’mush off a campus) to perform support and recon roles. Precisely because they don’t fit the profile.
For example they have been using scouts posing as bicyclists. The guy who was arrested here for planting Molotov cocktails at a protest site was a 52-year old bicycle enthusiast.
I wish he would have added “Moderate Democrats, the radical left is manipulating you.”
When we look back on the last defense of Berlin being 13 year old boys and 75 year old men... we look back with pity and not fear of that fighting force.
The tweet by Trump makes him look weak to everyone outside his base, and was a stupid gift to give the libs to enjoy laughing at.
You are either friend of Trump or the enemy?
You should tell the one I was posting to, I already agree.
“The tweet by Trump makes him look weak to everyone outside his base..”
Nope, just you.
