"What do you think they [protesters] want?" Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. "What do you think they need, right now, from you?"
Here was Trump's answer, verbatim:
"Protesters for different reasons. You're protesting also because, you know, they just didn't know. I've watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren't able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.
"But a lot of them really were there because they're following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we've seen it over the years. We haven't, you know, this was one horrible example, but you've seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I've seen it, too. I've seen it before I was president. I've seen it. I think it's a shame. I think it's a disgrace. And it's got to stop."

I wish you guys were half as tough and ready for this as you thought you were but man, commies are more disappointing than anyone right now.
I figured you guys would at least have some kind of organized resistance in the real world, but nah just on the internet talking about joe biden and the neoliberals while trump deports your friends for their first amendment rights being exercised 😂
Impotent.
And what are you doing to ensure dems don’t fuck it up again if we have an election in 2028?
