What some seem not to understand is that he means it.

....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

The Trump tweet that Twitter deleted said, “If they start looting, we’ll start shooting.”

He's itching to impose martial law. But it would be his undoing in the end.

He's just gave the green light to all his supporters in the area to take things into their own hands

Our country is fragile. We cannot take much more right now. He is literally tearour country apart by inciting violence and has encouraged dangerous protestors throughout the covid 19. Now this.

He’s telling Governor he has support if needed to stop the burning. It’s up to Gov. No conservative wants civil war. No conservative happy about horrific events leading to George’s death. POTUS wants swift justice & peaceful demonstrations. Looters not locals. More to this story

I know he means. A Civil War is what his supporters have been dreaming of
