Here’s a link to his Twitter:

Another FReeper posted this Thursday. I found it illuminating, although I don’t know why this hasn’t been more widely reported.

Read it all, if you can. It does go a long way to explain why Trump is keeping his cool and not calling in the military. He has other law enforcement assets available, all better trained for crowd control than active duty soldiers.

All the enemedia is reporting the same “news” to make the rioters think that D.C. is unprotected.

Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper made the decision to disarm the guard without consulting the White House, after President Trump ordered a militarized show of force on the streets of Washington to quell demonstrations that were punctured by an episode of looting Sunday, two senior administration officials said.

Okay, we don't know if this is true. It's the WaPo. They may just be making stuff up again to make it look like "the Trump administration is falling apart."

I think Esper may be filing for unemployment in the near future.

Wash Post propaganda. If anything, they held a high level pow wow with his military and political advisors and they all agreed that blood running in the streets of our capital at this time would be a bad message to send to the world, so Trump ordered the stand down. The public sight of armed snipers positioning themselves had already done the job anyway. Not even the bravest leftist hotdogger wants his brains blasted out.

I suspect two things. One, the baddies seriously want a “Kent State” with Guardsmen firing on civilians. And, second, if they can get the crowd they want, they may try to swarm into the White House.

I hope Trump’s team is ready for both eventualities; actually, I’m sure they’ve already thought of all this.

Exactly. That video with the secret service snipers was impressive.

WaPo is worse than Pravda ever was, and now more akin to “Baghdad Bob”.

Much smaller crowd in D.C. than anticipated. National Guard, Secret Service, and D.C. Police have been doing a fantastic job. Thank you!

Prevents any false flags and "Kent State 2 OMG Orange Man Bad Dictator Out of Control"

DC has been flooded instead with thousands of plainclothes armed Federal Agents from all kinds of govt. entities *besides* the Armed Services.

And the Secret Service has (there are photos of them carrying some *serious* MoFo looking l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g rifles) their anti-sniper sniper teams on the Mall.

One take is that since it is the job of the SS to protect the President they know every square inch of the area within sniper range of the White House ...to include where false-flag snipers would hide.

Hint hint.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a million man outburst today in DC? What the heck happened to that?

Kent State, if you can get beyond the Leftist hype, worked. 4 Leftist Stupids dead, and all of a sudden all colleges became aware that this sh!t was real.

I was there, at SIU, when they were rioting, at the same time. Talk about a wakeup call... Parents started asking questions. And since most of these parents had lived thru WW2, these questions were hard to answer.

Fake news. Not in a million years Would...” efense Secretary Mark T. Esper made the decision to disarm the guard without consulting the White House,,” that would not only be insane as policy but treasonous as conduct. Whatever’s going the hell on it isn’t as reported.
