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 deploying 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???”

    As the old saying goes, “you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.” You’ll be arrested and sent through the court system for the charges to be eventually dropped because it’s not actually a law that you can’t wear a mask.

      That’s assuming it gets that far. If your skin is a little too brown for their liking, you could find yourself on an involuntary tropical vacation at one of Trump’s increasing number of third world hellholes. Good luck getting a hold of anyone that speaks English, much less get in touch with your family or getting the charges dropped.
