Absolutely.
Did you see Trump threatened - "will be met with heavy force" - if anyone protests his Birthday Parade?
I'm not happy the org organizing the Saturday protests is not protesting in D.C., saying they want to "provide contrast".
Lawful protest is the hinge-pin of American Democracy. They should have called Trump's hand on this, bringing it home to him and laying it at his feat.
I don't see any way Trump could win the politics of busting peaceful protestors in the Nation's Capital.
In fact, I might start a poll on this - as much as I hate starting polls.
If anyone else made such a threat they would legitimately face legal action against them. He threatened to harm people for exercising their constitutional right.
