Trump: Everything we're doing is very lawful and what they're doing is not lawful.

And what the governor and mayor, as an example, you can say of Portland and certainly of Chicago, it's not lawful what they're doing. They have to be very careful.

Tonight my 7 year old piano student came in and told me, "Today I saw ICE at my church and everyone was yelling to stay in our car." He said it was scary. His family made it home ok. They live 3 doors down from me. These are my neighbors. They shouldn't be living in fear.

Trump's puppy killer sycophant Noem: "One of the individuals we arrested recently was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"
