Between the bone spurs, hiding in a safe room and calling in everyone in the DC area with a gun his manly persona just took a dump. America will put up with a lot but a coward, never.

Trump Opens Door for Violent Clash: ‘I Don’t Care’ if MAGA Counter-Protests at White House

President Trump was asked about a tweet he shared where he seemed to be inviting his supporters to gather in counter-protest of those who might demonstrate again at the White House on Saturday night.
Trump denied his intent was to provoke violence when asked about his Saturday morning tweet that not only disparaged those who protested at the White House on Friday night but also included an invite of sorts to his supporters to show up on Pennsylvania Avenue on Saturday night, writing, “Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???”

Trump was asked by a reporter: “With your tweets today, are you concerned that you might be stoking more racial violence or more racial discord?”
“No no, not at all,” Trump answered. “MAGA says make America great again. These are people that love our country.”
Trump then played his phony plausible deniability card, adding, “I have no idea if they’re going to be here. I was just asking.”
The president continued by praising his supporters’ supposed non-racist tendencies but at the same time made it clear that MAGA included very few black people.
“MAGA is make America great again,” Trump said. “By the way, they love African American people, they love black people. MAGA loves the black people.”
Trump continued, “I heard that MAGA wanted to be [at the White House to protest], a lot of MAGA was going to be there. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but they love our country. Remember, MAGA, it’s just an expression, but MAGA loves our country.”
A reporter then asked Trump, “Aren’t you encouraging [your supporters] to hold a counter-protest?”
After stumbling a bit on the question Trump said, “I don’t care.”
