US-President Donald Trump has brought down statues during the protests against racism and police violence in the United States in connection with terrorism. Trump threatened demonstrators attempting to overthrow statues of historical figures in the United States on Thursday night (local time) on Fox News with serious consequences.
“We’ll go harder and harder every night,” Trump said. “And at some point there will be retribution.” These demonstrators are vandals and instigators – in truth, however, they are “in a way terrorists”.
Protests against racism and police violence following the death of African American George Floyd have sparked a debate in the United States about the country’s culture of remembrance. In various parts of the country, demonstrators were quick to topple and toppled statues depicting historical figures associated with racism.
