Trump says protesters will not be allowed to wear masks

Source: The Hill

President Trump said people participating in protests in Los Angeles will not be allowed to wear masks and praised the National Guard for “a job well done” after he deployed them to the city to settle the protests.

“These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED,” he wrote on Truth Social early Sunday morning. “Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???”

Trump also took aim at California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) for being “unable” to “handle the task.”

“We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster,” he wrote.

Can you imagine a protest where everyone is wearing Gene Simmons' KISS makeup?

Or 10,000 Bozo the Clown clones?

Or the biggest Blue Man Group ever?

And what about those fucking Patriot Front douchebags who wear masks and used car salesman uniforms who crowd into U-Hauls and march in downtown fronts? Guess he's OK with that?

Fuck OFF!!!

Why, so they don't SPIT?!? Wasn't that his 2 minute rant about why protesters must be arrested...because they spit?

tRump said, "Yes, spit, and they spit and we have to stop all the spitting and start arresting people to stop them spitting on ICE so "no masks" is due to the violent saliva coming out of their mouths. Biden told them to spit. ICE is keeping law and order ICE is keeping the peace. Stop these criminal Biden inspired saliva spitters or they will be locked up and deported. We must put an end to these vile spitters, once and for all. America will be beautiful again once we can just deport all the insurrectionist spitting at these peaceful, loving, law abiding ICE agents, just keeping law and order and keeping America safe for real Americans"

I'm paraphrasing here but you get the gist of it.

Google it. You don’t need a mask to fool facial recognition. It’s just crappy AI. We all know AI is garbage.
