Then, Arrest Yourself Donald.

Donald J. Trump

I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent.....

.....This action is taken effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!

I guess it’s easier for his handlers to just let him twiddle away than to try to explain anything to president poopy pants.
