Those who try to deface or remove the monuments will be unsuccessful.

I wasn't aware Trump was still working.

I don't believe that tidbit of information would come as a surprise to anyone.

Law and order.

The most important way to celebrate the Union is by protecting statues commemorating those who fought to dismantle the Union and preserve slavery.
Trump is a true patriot.

Recht und Ordnung!

Trump keeps talking about "our Heritage," so it's clear that he's a traitor and part of the Confederacy, rather than a President leading the US. All the statues put up after Reconstruction were done so in a mean-spirited vengeful way, determined to claw back any sense of freedom given to people of color. Doesn't that fit Trump to a "T"? Mean-spirited, vengeful and determined to claw back any achievement credited to President Obama?

So trump is sending the police to guard the statues of people who fought against the American flag.
But he is not doing anything to guard the American soldiers who fight for the flag.
Wouldn't it be easier to make Putin the president of US and remove the middleman!!!

The banana republic dictator's motto: 'For my friends everything; for my enemies the law'.
Not surprising that Trump/barr are doing just that.

Hmmmm..... COVID is surging across the entire southern portion of the US - primarily because Repub Governors followed Trump dictate to "open early" - and are now experiencing their highest infection and death rates ever.
He holds rallies in these states with the highest infection rates, makes masks optional, and removes stickers for social distancing on seats because it would be a "bad optic"....
Eight of his staff and two Secret Service agents are then infected...
But our President thinks its more important to protect inanimate objects (statues) than protect his staff, his supporters, and the American people...
He's either far into Alzheimer's or he's an incompetent Moron...

why Georgia had NOT seen an increase in cases. Look at the date- 4 June.

Then didnt something happen after that, unrelated to the 5 week earlier reopenings?

It’d be safer if he sent guards outside Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Steak House.

Lol but Putin can put a bounty on U.S. troops...
"Law and order " indeed, comrade.
