TFG screamed at his aides for not doing more to quell protests in Seattle & Portland

Former President Donald Trump lambasted his aides for not taking legal action to quell widespread anti-police brutality protests last summer, according to a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff.

Trump "screamed" at his then-chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House counsel Pat Cipollone to figure out how to put an end to the violence unfolding in cities like Portland and Seattle last June in the wake of George Floyd's police killing in Minneapolis, the book said.

Trump's frustration stemmed in large part from criticism he'd received from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who at the time described Trump's leadership as "weak" during a monologue on his nightly show.

"I'm getting killed on Tucker and we're not doing a damn thing," Trump yelled in the Oval Office at Meadows and Cipollone. The scene was described in Wolff's upcoming book, "Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency," which is expected to publish on July 13. Insider obtained an advance copy of the book.

He really seemed to think he was King.
He had absolutely no idea what that job entailed. None.

Just one more example of how TFG viewed his job and responsibility to the American people.

....to kill with a firing squad the uncharged person suspected of killing the RW protester.

In Portland. Deputized local LEO were sent to take out the person. And they did, with no warning to halt or stop. Just a hail of bullets as he was getting in his car.

We'll never know if the guy actually was guilty.

Suggesting the use of sarin or VX. Gotta save the real estate doncha know.

Killing a couple of thousand of “those people” would put the lead in its base’s pencil.
