What does authorizing "feds" to arrest protesters taking down statues mean?

[MoonRiver]

First, who are these "feds" of whom he speaks. Second, what authority does he have to have to do this?

[unblock]

1. "Feds" are what crooks call federal law enforcement officers

14. Beauty!!!

That was superb!

15. Good catch!

2. Meaningless. Federal authorities (Park Police for example) are already authorized to do so

His BS means nothing.

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Who knows, but it makes him sound tough. His cult will love it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Vandalizing federal property is already illegal, and

DC park police and others already have the authority to arrest people for it. He's just trying to look tough for the MAGAts.

5. It means nothing.

Dump needed a strong man moment after his multiple recent fails.

11. It just lets Shitgibbon jut his chest out and look somewhat tough.

that is all.

6. I thought "Feds" stood for the FBI agts. In Trump's case, it is meaningless drivel

[Caliman73]

8. Did anyone ask him to explain what that actually does different than what is already in place?

That is something that doesn't happen very often.


I like to see him flounder around and go into his talking points. Reporters should keep pressing him on actual details about what he is doing, AND point out that Federal agents are already empowered to make arrests on Federal Property. Also, that Federal Agents have NO jurisdiction on State property without specific authority from that State.

10. If I could stand to listen to his voice...

... that would be a moment. Alas, his voice makes me reflexively hit the "mute" button.

9. What authority does Trump have over any state?

Maybe if the statue was owned by the federal government or located on federal lands, but otherwise it would either be state or private owned property where Trump has no jurisdiction.

He's all bluster and bark. He probably has some Hollywood movie clip where Seal Team Six parachutes down in the dark of night and sets up a sand bag bunker topped with razor wire around his precious statues of traitors.

12. It means your base thinks your feckless, and you're trying to prove different.

Other than that, not a damn thing.

[SoonerPride]

13. It means he wants to stop you from talking ahout tulsa and his teeny tiny
