Trump threatens force against protestors in US capital
by Paul Handley
President Donald Trump delivered a strong warning Tuesday to protestors in Washington, vowing to use force if they tried to create a police-free “autonomous zone” in the US capital.
In a series of tweets that earned the US leader his own warning from Twitter for “abusive behavior,” Trump also threatened stiff prison sentences for “anarchists” who damage national monuments during a wave of nationwide demonstrations.
“I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison,” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.
