President Donald Trump has promised to use the full force of the law on those who vandalise or destroy historical monuments across the US.President Donald Trump's actions were prompted by the recent vandalism of a statue of former President Andrew JacksonMr Trump signed a newly-built portion of a wall on the border the US shares with Mexicoto an armed services member on federal land, even though the government already had that power under the 2003 Veterans Memorial Act.
Calls for their removal, along with massive Black Lives Matter protests earlier this month and local governments reforming police forces, were sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd, a black man killed in police custody.On June 22, protesters near the White House tried to topple a statue of former President Andrew Jackson, who enslaved black people and forcibly removed Native Americans from the South.
Why the hell have Trump and his supporters NOT BEEN BLOCKED on Twitter ? Any one else inciting armed rebellion, violence and continually spreading dangerous fake information would be long gone .
Too late to take action. Most have been cancelled already.
Lol this law already existed and Trump just trying to act like he enacted it.
Absolutely the right thing to do.
Good work and about time
Snap shots in time, realDonaldTrump belong in museums not out in public domain's. We experience Cape York nytimes Barbarian eponymous invasive, that mutes PresidentOfPeaceMatters While Bullingdon hypocrisy expands jailhouse capacity. Unconstitutional brass Kryptonknight
Many think Trump should be relegated to farce.
Good. Trump has been too weak on the unwashed. I get that most of it is state jurisdiction not federal, but still, time to push back.
Trump intends to build statue of Adolf Hitler in the front of the White House Oh, no. My bad That might offend the white supremacists...No it wouldn’t. My bad AGAIN It would offend the 000’s who died in the wars (Yes I know COVID has now killed more) ...2
No less than they deserve. Trump2020
All that needs to happen in these Democrat run hell holes is for the rule of law to be applied equally to all. Imagine if white thugs started looting and tearing down anything they saw that celebrated a black person.
Seriously doubt it
Good. The world has been waiting for them to act.
Great news
Good! So he should!
Good
Excellent. Next.

About time serious force should have been against the looters and the terrorist torching churches, buildings and businesses of innocent Americans trying to earn a living
At least there is one sane politician in the world. Had enough of this elitist left bullshit.
Right on, get those poor excuses for human beings off the streets and where they belong.
That isn't what he said. You deserve to be defunded for being propagandists. He said
The best thing to do is to replace the statue with a monument to the people that destroy the other ones it’s called a headstone
Australia has done the same and all agree. Trump wants to build things not break and destroy. This is just costing lives and people's livings. In the communities needing the help
If only Communist Daniel Andrews did the same.
He said 3 days ago. You deserve all the cuts of funding..totally hopeless is the ABC
Dog Whistle to the knuckle draggers.
He just needs to say that for every statue pulled down, he’ll erect a Trump statue
Good now put your money where your mouth is
Good
FINALLY some actions being taken to preserve our monuments
Another tweet in violation from realDonaldTrump just like all his ideas... bunkerTrump
meanwhile ... somewhere in Ukraine, the world is hearing about joebiden and $3.4 million ...
The Full Force of the Law is 'serious force' most statues that were desecrated were under the jurisdiction of the US federal government, not state, he's only saying he's ordering the federal law enforcement to enforce laws that already existed.
And so he aught too. ABC, are you so out of whack that you'd think otherwise
Shame he couldn't do that for people murdered by cops over there.
Whilst I disagree with vandalism, it is time to re-evaluate some of these monuments and how/where they are displayed.
Can someone please tell him his red dick-compensator is too long?
Another Trumpism … this 'Law and Order' hard line to please his base when, at the same time, he's one of the most corrupt figures DC has ever seen … what about the firing of a prosecutor in NY, the constant criticising of the judiciary, everything AG Barr does for him, etc.
Correction- Trump threatens ‘serious force’ against rioters who vandalise statues. Enjoy the mass job losses ya filthy leftist parasites. You deserve every bit of what’s coming to the ABC.👍🏻
Noe thats a real President for you.... time to put a halt to the vandals. Thats all they are.. no brain vandals.
Not content with threatening other countries including 'allies' he threatens his own people.
Good.
Wow he’s gonna use ‘serious force’ on an entire generation, good luck Trumpy
Agree, you can’t delete history. Hitler already tried burning books and pulling Dow statues. Let’s all remember how that situation ended.
— George Orwell '1984' “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed...'
Our history remind us about the good and bad we have done in our past to help the present to bulld a better future , these people destroying statute are extremist ,should go to jail
Vandals not protesters
How typical ABC referring to them as protestors. Rioting thugs would be more appropriate
Great
Trump & Boris use the nostalgia of Brexit & Maga to appeal to the consoling idea (for some white people) that the moral failures of the past are in fact the triumphs we once thought they were. Statues have become flashpoints that embodies the tension between these two worldviews.
Yeah he threatened statue vandals with giving them 10 years. Funnily enough, that has been a federal law (vandalism of a veterans statue) with up to a 10 year prison sentence for more than a decade. But yeah, let’s make it look like it was Trumps idea...
Thank you President Trump 🇺🇸 4 more years.
'protesters that vandalise statues' 'protesters' 'vandalise statues' 'protesters' Yeah, naa. I don't that 'protesters' is the appropriate descriptor... ABC showing their clear bias again. DefundTheABC
This still sums up the Left since 2016.
Good
Lots of similarities between black lives matter and Islamic state actions , destroying history
I hope so, black lives matter belongs to the Democrat group ,manipulates a small portion of countries around the world creating disturbance. The good citeZen ,biggest majority of the society who are working hard and paying taxes don’t support this protests , it is a fact
Meanwhile, in Victoria, Daniel Andrews threatens serious force to families that visit and hug each other.
Lets be honest most laws are written with Lefties in mind.
Im sure there will never be a statue dedicated to Trump
Marvellous. Make sure the ABC has photos of the caskets for me to laugh at
Especially if they're black.
But not so serious about threats to humanity.
If they are vandalising statues, they are not protestors.
Law and order are problematic for the ABC.
