Trump expresses support for angry anti-shutdown protesters as more states lift coronavirus lockdowns

President Trump expressed support Friday for armed protesters who had stormed the Michigan Capitol, demanding the state lift coronavirus restrictions, as researchers estimated that the coronavirus pandemic could stretch on for two more years.

Trump tweeted Friday that “these are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely!”

Trump said Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) “should give a little, and put out the fire.”

Hundreds of people, including a militia group armed with military-style rifles, rushed the State Capitol in Lansing on Thursday, with some forcing their way into the building and facing off with law enforcement. An angry mob screamed “Lock Her Up” and insults about Whitmer.

Trump’s “very good people” language recalled his wording nearly three years ago, when he said there were “very fine people on both sides” at a deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

“See them, talk to them, make a deal,” Trump wrote Friday.

It is not clear what kind of deal Trump had in mind, but he has rooted for states to lift many of the tightest restrictions on movement and commerce and allowed a national stay-at-home recommendation to expire Thursday night.

The great leader will use anyone gullible enough to believe his bullshit for political headlines and admiration.

All hail the great leader, 65k dead and counting

Is there any quote by Trump that states he supported armed citizens entering the Michigan capital in the protest movement? If so, please post a link to his statement of support.

Armed citizens protesting inside the Michigan capital is exactly what the founders had in mind when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.

Those protesters, they are Americans and the boss of the governor. Notice you had to drag up an old lie that even Joe Biden stopped using.

Btw...the Roosevelt crew members who are positive with Covid19 is currently 1,100 and it appears the entire Carrier Group has been effected. Testing on other ships have found over 100 infected and counting.

1. Trump supports the idea of a phased reopening and lifting of the onerous stay at home mandates in many areas.

3. Trump supports the right to bear arms in a peaceful manner.

Libs heads explode and call him a bad man for supporting our Constitution and freedoms.

I do not want my tax dollars going to support a nursing home resident.

I had to laugh at Brooke Baldwin of CNN berating a barber who said he is going back to work and she asks "don't you care if you die"? He says no because he believes the odds are on his side and "she says that she had COVID-19 to which I asked "and you are alive aren't you"? Not everybody not even most die from this illness. We lose 30 40, 50, 60,000 a year from Influenza A and we don't put 30 million people out of work and add 3 or will it be 4 or 5 trillion to our debt.


This shut down has been a farce that will take years to recover from.
