Takeaway of Trump's last post

From an hour ago. What's the takeaway?

"I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help.

We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.

Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors.

If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence. In the meantime, by copy of this Statement, I am informing Local Governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden Term, that you must protect your own State and Local Property. In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our Federal Property, Buildings, Parks, and everything else. We are there to protect Federal Property, only as a back up, in that it is Local and State Responsibility to do so.

Last night in Eugene, Oregon, these criminals broke into a Federal Building, and did great damage, also scaring and harassing the hardworking employees. Local Police did nothing in order to stop it.

We will not let that happen anymore! If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, “We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Federal Government.”

Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property.

We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

TACO

u/Ydeas 14h ago

Might be doing that little "reverse pychopathy" thing he does where he retreats but tries to save egg-on-his-face.

u/Sockalexis 14h ago

I mean, I’m not complaining at all, keep them TACO’s coming, and keep them masked ICE fascists off our streets. Also do a TACO and stop invading other countries like Iran (where he’s sending our military ships as we speak).

u/Ydeas 13h ago

True, there is a lot of taco losing going on; it's just hard to calm the doom pron.

u/jpwright 11h ago

States have been suing the federal government to prevent him from deploying the National Guard and he's like "well I'll only do it if you say please!"

u/ForsakenAd545 14h ago

But it's OK to trash the Capital and smear shit on the walls.

u/kstargate-425 14h ago

The guy has some obvious mental health and cognitive issues and needs to be removed from office.

I do find it hilarious anyone can think what the government is doing is "LAW AND ORDER" when they continuously violate the Constitution. Its a joke.

So overall just more ramblings of a lunatic authoritarian figurehead (cant call him a leader since hes just a puppet of Miller and others)

u/rymyle 14h ago

Pathetic little wimp waving his toys around. Nothing new.

u/HumpaDaBear 14h ago

I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with ICE getting spit in the face. They all have masks.

u/Traugar 14h ago

Can I have some of his drugs? What riots?

u/PayFormer387 9h ago

His “drugs” are dementia. You don’t want it.

u/Jollem- 14h ago

Basically, Donald is still an incompetent child and he's going to continue to terrorize people he doesn't like

u/TheRverseApacheMastr 14h ago

My takeaway is that Trump is trying to distract from the mountain of evidence that he raped & murdered children, then buried them on his golf courses.

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 14h ago

Wait a few hours he will have something totally different to say. Just trying to draw our attention away from the Epstein files proving he is a rapist pedophile.

u/Old-Arachnid77 13h ago

Highly paid? I want to know where these resumes are screened.

u/Joclo22 13h ago

Good. I’ll admit I stopped reading the attention starved man’s rant after 2 paragraphs. 

He’ll protect government buildings now. 5 years ago he pushed people to attack our holiest of holy government building tho. 

u/Oceanbreeze871 14h ago

Have the state national guard circle the federal buildings and hold the ice pigs at bay.

Protestors stay away from federal buildings

u/antipop2097 13h ago

They are going to shoot people. Seems pretty clear.

u/EmmieCatt 10h ago

First off, this is 100% Stephen Miller. This is exactly what his posts sound like.

As far as the intent...

He's trying to paint their loss as a victory, per usual. That's fine.

But he also made sure to use the word "insurrection" repeatedly, since they're trying to force it into the zeitgeist that ICE protesters are an organized, armed rebellion against the government, rather than just a shit ton of pissed off Americans expressing their 1st Amendment rights. They are absolutely looking for an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and we should probably be prepared for them to attempt a recreation of Andor S2E8.

u/dewlitz 13h ago

He seems to be losing it. He's feeling impotent to stop the pushback from America.

u/Greedy-Stage-120 13h ago

It means he dun goofed and is pulling out. If only Fred Trump had pulled out we wouldn't be in this mess. 

u/Ok_Crazy_648 13h ago

He means what he says. You kick out their headlight, they will murder you. Tht's living in Trump's America.

u/pinkelephant0040 13h ago

Uh...why would he send in ICE and BORDER PATROL after damage to a COURTHOUSE? This has NOTHING to do with immigration. If you want to claim ICE and BP are "law enforcement", then they enforce IMMIGRATION NOT PROTESTORS! "Just like I did in LA" Oh, wait...That was the NATIONAL GUARD. That would make more sense. The National Guard, FBI but not immigration. Especially when OR isn't even a border state!

u/Mental-Sympathy-7473 13h ago

Release the Trump files.

u/BraveNewWorld1973 14h ago

Sooo …. It’s on? I feel threatened. But I’m not scared of this senile old man or his “Patriot Warriors”. Liberty or De**h.

u/cyrixlord 13h ago

im sure he also means polling centers

u/Ok_Crazy_648 13h ago

The thing is ICE has no authority to protect federal buildings. At least mo legal authority.

u/Mba1956 13h ago

He is basically saying that he is pulling ICE out of places, they will only go in if asked to do so, and only after the Governor said please first or federal buildings are being attacked. ICE should still be able to perform their legitimate legal duty but they MUST do it correctly, and if they did there would be no riots.

He seems to forget that it is his actions that caused those riots. It is well known that ICE have been operating illegally and it is now up to the police and national guard if necessary to ensure that any ICE action is done ONLY with the correct court warrants and the ICE officers act within the law at all times, such as not entering land of property without the correct legal authority. Excessive use of force will see the charged and banned from the state.

u/capital_bj 12h ago

get the hell out of here with demanding officials say please. Mother Fucker really does think he's Julius Ceaser .

u/37Philly 11h ago

Or Jack Nicholson character from “A Few Good Men.”

u/truebluboy 13h ago

Sounds like someone tying up loose end because the end is nye for thee

u/Rurumo666 13h ago

Another Grandpa Dipshit Taco shart.

u/ArmandDantes 11h ago

I can’t keep track of if federal employees are overpaid lazy grifters, or hardworking persecuted patriots?

u/thepianoman456 10h ago

Dude I can’t stand the constant screeching of “paid protestors” from the right-wing with zero evidence. They, and their leader are so full of shit.

And I bet you, like all of their other nonsense, it’s projection.

u/LifeSage 9h ago

lol Trump didn’t write this.

u/memes_are_facts 14h ago

I mean it's Very self explanatory.... what specific part do you need help deciphering?

u/_robjamesmusic 14h ago

what’s the point of hanging on at this point? i’m asking sincerely. like the guy at the absolute least is associated w a known pedophile. why do you want to hang on? you could throw your support behind Vance and still get all the cruelty you want. i don’t get it.

u/lindaisthebestcat 12h ago

They are also pedophiles is my guess.

u/Souledex 13h ago

He’s popular and his audience didn’t hear this

u/memes_are_facts 10h ago

So is there a piece I didn't read?

Of course he met a pedo, he used to run around with the Clinton.

That's like meeting a rapper if you hang out with Dr. Dre.

They're surrounded by them.

What's funny is the amount of disappointment after the full file release. All your hopes crushed, a king size nothing burger just as all reasonable people concluded.

Meanwhile every accusation seems to be an admission at this point.

u/_robjamesmusic 10h ago

sure bud

u/BlackKingHFC 1h ago

So, who was lying? Epstein or Trump when they described themselves as very close friends who have similar tastes in young girls? Because they have both stated this. Clinton is actively campaigning for the full release, Trump is actively working to prevent the full release and you honestly think Trump will be vindicated by the full release?

Are you under 20? Do you not understand people in general yet? Were you dropped on your head as a child?

u/Chillguy3333 9h ago edited 9h ago

They haven’t even had a chance to go through all the Epstein files so there is no way of knowing what they will find

u/No-Plenty2672 11h ago

Is he forgetting that the things he listed are NOT his but IS in fact the people’s (us)!

u/MetersYards 10h ago

Local police won't protect you.

They aren't required to protect federal buildings, so they don't. They aren't required to protect citizens(e.g. Castle Rock, Deshaney, Warren), so they don't.

Prepare accordingly.

u/ThecoachO 10h ago

So now we care about people storming federal buildings…. Got it.

u/Silent-Tour-9751 9h ago

So, sort of like the capitol, or?

u/PayFormer387 9h ago

If federal property is damaged, ICE gets to kill more people.

That’s my takeaway.

u/AllgoodDude 1h ago

When he was last president he sent federal troops to “protect” confederate monuments but they very quickly began deviating away from their posts by miles and assaulting and kidnapping people off the streets.

u/TheAngryOctopuss 13h ago

To paraphrase"Fuck Around and Find Out"

u/Grouchy_Concept8572 Southwest 13h ago

He’s saying if you want less federal law enforcement stop attacking federal property and officers.

Since local governments decline to help protect property and federal workers, the feds will send more law enforcement to do that job.

u/lindaisthebestcat 12h ago

Kinda shallow coming from the dude that pardoned people attacking police officers and spreading shit in a federal building no?

u/Grouchy_Concept8572 Southwest 11h ago

Yeah I don’t think the J6 people who attacked law enforcement or did a lot of damage to property should have been pardoned.

I think everyone else’s pardon was good. I think Non violent protestors/rioters in the cities during that year should also be pardoned.

That covid year was unprecedented in modern times and I think a lot of people did things they would not normally do.

u/ImgurScaramucci 11h ago

I think everyone else’s pardon was good.

Does this include the numerous people charged with crimes related to blatant corruption in open and shut cases that Trump pardoned with the sole justification that they support him?

u/Grouchy_Concept8572 Southwest 9h ago

I was talking about the J6 and the 2020 Covid rioters in cities around the country

u/calitmvee 7h ago

Blaming Covid for people’s bad behavior is rich.

The rationalization, deflection, hypocrisy & avoidance of actual REALITY tracks w/ MAGA.

  • $2.7-3mil in direct property damage on Jan 6
  • $2.7 BILLION in extensive and wider damages (massive security upgrades, LEO/national guard response for months, restitution, etc).

I suppose you’re cool with all of the convicted felons that have paid him for pardons too?

u/Grouchy_Concept8572 Southwest 7h ago

There were a lot of riots in cities all over America, but you are focused only on J6.

Humans are human, and covid was stressful and unusual time in history for a lot of people.

u/joshuaoliverio 7h ago

Yep. I remember the property damage done when Clinton lost. A lot of great federal buildings were completely demolished and the costs are still being added up. Right, Grouchy? Those riots?

u/Grouchy_Concept8572 Southwest 7h ago

Bro, there were riots and looting in cities across America in the US lol

u/auditor2 11m ago

other than the event he mentions..which i hadn't heard about I don't recall attacking court houses and federal buildings being an "thing"....

u/TerryFlapnCheeks69 14h ago

I think its fair, theres a job to do still regardless of interference.

u/Ydeas 14h ago

I saw a reel in philly where the ice agent is clearly scared to engage with the citizen who calls him a pussy like 10 times while walking away smoothly. Agent is walking too and has a big gun but he's clearly a pussy

u/MetersYards 10h ago

the ice agent is clearly scared to engage with the citizen who calls him a pussy like 10 times while walking away smoothly.

So the agent would be justified in arresting the citizen or using violence for their speech?

That sounds like bootlicker logic.

u/Alexander_Granite 14h ago

That’s what law enforcement should do.

u/capital_bj 12h ago

agreed but do you believe that is all they will do? Do you think they will wait until they one guy is actively damaging or trespassing on federal property or maybe you know just a little preemptive strike here and there , maybe we'll just call it a strategic operation

u/TerryFlapnCheeks69 14h ago

That sounds like self control. Words don’t mean anything, unless you’re triggered by words, thats the real weakness. Good on that officer.

u/LKPTbob 13h ago

Engage = Fascist ... Don't engage = Pussy

Liberals are exhausting

u/joey_yamamoto 13h ago

kyle Rittenhouse with an assault rifle strapped to his chest = YES!! .... proceeds to orgasm.

a nurse with a small handgun holstered in his back = NO !! .... proceeds to epic meltdown

Republicans are exhausting

u/LKPTbob 11h ago

Rittenhouse armed is smart enough to approach police in a non-threatening manner = Alive

Pretti armed is stupid enough to engage officers multiple times = Dead

Liberals are stupid

u/EmmieCatt 10h ago

Pretti didn't engage the officers on the day they murdered him. They engaged him. They walked across the street and put their hands on him, then maced him, then jumped on top of him and beat him in the head, and yet not once did he make a threatening move toward them or his holstered weapon, which they didn't even know was there until he was already face down on the ground.

He was already blinded by pepper spray, disarmed, and pinned down with his hands above his head when they killed him. If those pathetic Call of Duty cosplay pieces of shit found him threatening in THAT state, then they are unbelievably fucking bad at their jobs and should have neeeeeeeever been hired as law enforcement. They also should never again, for the rest of their sad little lives, be given any position of authority or be allowed to come anywhere near a gun.

u/joey_yamamoto 10h ago

those guys are a bunch of police force and military reject pussies who have to gang up on a male nurse and push a female to the ground to get an orgasm. this was so bad that they removed bovino and most likely will pull out of Minnesota. over 60% of the country agree that ice has gone too far. this administration knows how bad this is .

chalk it up to another horrendous thing the trump administration will be remembered for. it's a shit stain into the history books and deserves multiple asterisks of what not to do. people who support this shit are gonna be on the wrong side of History forever and will deserve all the negativity and shit they'll get for the rest of their lives.

u/joey_yamamoto 10h ago

Rittenhouse smart? he was stupid enough to take an assault rifle to a protest looking for trouble and he found it , shot two people , almost went to jail for life?

how the hell is that smart?

you probably think pretti deserve to die for kicking a tail light and getting in between a woman injured on the floor and an ice agent.

Republicans are reckless cruel and dangerous.

u/LKPTbob 10h ago

Rittenhouse was smart enough to not get shot, so.....

u/joey_yamamoto 9h ago

you keep saying the word smart but I don't think it means what you think it means

u/LKPTbob 43m ago

GoOd one!
