WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to protect monuments, memorials and statues facing new scrutiny amid fresh debate over the nation’s racist beginnings.
A Brave Trump Takes ‘Strong’ Action To Protect Inanimate Statues
We’ll be pulling your fat ass down in November.
The clock is running…
Betraying your country by asking Russia to interfere in the democratic process, destroying wilderness and water supplies for the benefit of the wealthy alone, using taxpayer money to fund your own business -
No penalty.
Pulling down a hunk of metal shaped into the likeness of a slaveholder -
10 years in jail.
Curse you McConnell.
Of course Chiselin’ Trump will protect these statues. He believes that, one day, a racist statue will be erected to honor himself.
Surely there’s a Statue of Limitations involved?
Trump is only brave in protecting inanimate objects - statues and flag but truth be told, Trump is the biggest treasonous, traitor and unAmerican POTUS ever because he does NOT protect the living We The People from a pandemic and does nothing to protect the US soldiers in Afghanistan being killed with bounties by his BFF Putin! F*** Trump!
Can a POTUS be court marshaled?
Impeach Trump Again!
Lock Trump Up!
Chiseling Donald likes chiseled stone. Much more than real people dying of the Coronavirus. For that, he’s got nothing. Less than nothing. He wants to pull federal funding for testing.
I pledge allegience to the United States and to the republic for which it stands. Not to BillBarr, Donald Trump, or Jefferson Davis.
The order calls on the attorney general to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any person or group that destroys or vandalizes a monument, memorial or statue.
It is our duty to destroy monuments to our enemies, opponents of the United States. Put up a statue of Vladimir Putin, and watch how quickly we destroy it.
There once was one. But, it turned out to be a bust.
It’s against the law to pull down statues of dead traitors but killing US citizens with covid through inaction is OK?
It’s not OK.
Because toppling statues commemorating Confederate Generals is the moral equivalent of the murder of black men and women by law enforcement. Trump has his priorities.
Federal law authorizes a penalty of up to 10 years in prison for the “willful injury” of federal property.
So Trump will be running for re-election from jail?
Well sculpted pun there…
Reading this, I’m thinking he’s become protective of his vice president.
Actually I believe the law that was quoted in the article pertains to memorials dedicated to the US military only. Memorials that are of confederate generals would not be protected by this Federal law.
Oh hey everyone.

Believe me.
“disgrace to our Country!”
The fact that he even utters these words aloud shows how out of touch with reality he is.
He definitely has Robert E. Lee’s vote.
I was trying to figure out why he needed to throw this kind of red meat to his base, who will vote for him anyway. Why bother?
And then I figured it out. It’s a taunt. He’s daring protesters to pull down another statue, so he can make a big show of police/military force to stop it. His reelection campaign needs more video clips of “rioters pulling down statues” for the ads.
