Trump Calls Los Angeles Protesters “Animals
According to webangah News Agency,US President Donald Trump reiterated his proposal to ban flag burning during a speech today at Fort Bragg military base in north Carolina.
Trump criticized immigration policy protesters in Los Angeles, stating: “These are animals. They proudly carry flags of other countries but not the American flag-they just burn it. Did you see how many flags they burned? This isn’t done by our citizens or those who love our country.”
He added that senators like Josh Hawley of Missouri are working on legislation to criminalize such acts, proposing one-year prison sentences for flag burners.”we’ll see if we can make this happen. I will push for it,” Trump said.
The president claimed Los Angeles police had not acted as aggressively as US soldiers, despite local officials asserting that National Guard deployment worsened unrest rather than calming tensions.
without evidence, Trump alleged financial backing of protesters: “They’re wearing top-tier armor and masks money can buy. Someone’s funding this-we’ll find out who through [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and the Justice Department.”
Trump framed the protests as a full-scale assault on peace, public order, and national sovereignty, criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as incompetent. He specifically accused Bass of paying agitators to join protests, linking ongoing unrest to demands for immigration police withdrawal and cessation of federal immigration enforcement: “It’s tragic what they’ve done to our country.”
