“The arsonists, anarchists, looters and troublemakers have been largely stopped,” Trump said on Twitter. “I am doing what it takes to keep our community safe – and these people will be brought to justice!”
Trump has pledged to make every effort to prevent historical monuments from being destroyed or destroyed. And threatens to use violence against some protesters, as protests against racism and police brutality have been held in the United States for weeks.
Hundreds of unarmed National Guard troops are on hand to help police protect Washington monuments. Last Monday, protesters in a White House park attempted to knock over a statue of former President Andrew Jackson.
The call for the removal of statues from historical figures with an infected past, for example, they kept slaves, is accompanied by protests from the Black Lives Matter movement. Those demonstrations started after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died on May 25 of police brutality.
