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.

Bull shit. Where is your documentation that anyone was armed. You just made that up. FAKE NEWS, AND POLITICAL PROPAGANDA.

YOU ARE A CLOWN, JUST NOT FUNNY - HA, HA! FUNNY CRAZY MAYBE!

Swabie what would you like, a post about Hillary’s super secret server.

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.

Especially after shore leave. This isn't unusual.

Gee tuffy, there’s hours of video on the net of the armed protesters in Michigan carrying their big guns talking shit to unarmed employees. Just because the great leader supports the few, the gullible, the deplorables, doesn’t mean the majority of the state does.

A few hundred clowns behaving like deranged clowns for the great leader. Right.

Why are you so bothered by citizens doing nothing more than taking advantage of the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution, in a building that belongs to them?

You must have a nice gummit job jaxoff247. These people are losing their jobs, their businesses, and other dear things after over a month of lockdown and mindless regulations (you can open a Home Depot but not a paint store; stores can't sell seeds).

Don't blame them. Blame their governor. These politicians aren't providing any serious feedback mechanism while you and other lunatics proclaim "Let them eat cake."

violent crime has spiked in almost every major city in America over this pandemic. Originally Posted by Levianon17

ironic that Monday marks the 50th anniversary of Kent State, when the Government heavy-handidly marched in to quell protests, killing 4 students. today you have Michigan Lawmakers cowering in their offices, afraid that ARMED Protesters might go bat-shit crazy on THEM.

No it hasn't. In the city of Baton Rouge, La just an hour west of New Orleans they've had a spike in shootings and in domestic violence complaints. In fact just last week two Officers were shot and one died on the scene. Crime hasn't dropped, people are uptight about their future and they are on edge and get pissed off easily. Doesn't make sense? Dumb the fuck on.

exactly. the carrier wasn't in port, it was on active patrol. ship's movement on active deployment is secret at least. for a carrier task force it's top secret. the captain knew that and violated protocol. he could have handled it via secure channels.

It's the same bullshit on "corona" sickness, test results, & deaths. A stack of bodies are found in a rental truck behind a "nursing home" and they are reported as "corona deaths" even before they are hauled off to the medical examiner to determine cause and/or manner of death.

this was your quote, dumb fuck. now your point is that Baton Rouge has seen a RECENT spike, and you mention domestic violence instead of violent crime, which is rarely part of that statistic.

your persuasive powers are retarded.
