The explicit threat comes days after Trump ordered soldiers to put down protests in Los Angeles

Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to forcibly put down any protests that spoil the military parade he has ordered up for his birthday on Saturday to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding during the American Revolutionary War.

Speaking in the Oval Office following an impromptu event to discuss forest management ahead of the upcoming summer wildfire season, Trump was riffing on what he described as violent excesses by protesters who’ve been demonstrating against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles when he was asked about the possibility of protests against the June 14 parade.

He reiterated the explicit threat a moment later, telling “those people who want to protest” that they would be “met with very big force” once more.

Maybe it doesn't matter to him, but is there a legal basis that could be used to ban any protest in this case?

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

you are correct, laws don't matter to him. He's repeatedly shown he will just ignore any court orders. And there's little the courts can do about that.

You'd better stay in, and do as you're told, stay out of the road, if you want to grow old.

A protestor to stand up against the tanks. Our own Tiananmen Square moment.
