President Donald Trump announced late Friday that his administration would be enforcing federal provisions demanding that cities and states protect monuments paid for by the federal government and threatening those who pull down monuments with “long prison time.”
Trump tweeted about the executive order on Saturday, calling it a “strong” response to efforts, across the country, to pull down monuments deemed “racist” or “controversial.”

Good on Mr. Trump.
ReplyDeleteEarlier, I believe he issued one that made damage/removal of statues a Federal crime.
DeleteDamage removal only counts on federal property. It's already a crime. He just said he would prosecute offenders. That's something governors and mayors won't do. Trump has federal park police in DC to do that.
DeleteI remember he was going to cut payments to sanctuary cities too. Hint: It's the same cities. The courts stopped him.

I imagine he tried again hoping for a change.
