Trump wants protestors killed. This cowardly man, who paid a doctor to lie about “bone spurs” to avoid serving in Vietnam, advocated shooting people wading across the Rio Grande. He thinks it will make him look tough to send Marines to L.A., even though the mayor of L.A. and the governor of California say those troops are not needed.
Remember that Trump encouraged an invasion of the Capitol in Jan. 2021. When re-elected, he pardoned the whole mob, including the people who assaulted cops and demanded the death of his Vice President. He and his followers even tried to re-write the script. That wasn’t a mob–they were “tourists” peacefully entering the Capitol. It won’t work with me–I saw it live on television, and that was no “deep fake.”
In 1970 I was teaching in Erie, Penna., 70 miles away from Kent State University where four students were killed by soldiers untrained on dealing with protestors. The students weren’t even protesting. Soldiers in L.A. will exacerbate the situation. Angry people will throw rocks, perhaps Molotov cocktails. Troops will fire. People will die. Trump will strut around like Mussolini, hero of the hour. MAGA people will cheer.
Welcome to my America, June 2025.
