US President Donald Trump vowed to force protesters in the US capital as he warned those who tried to create an “autonomous zone” in the area.
United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted on social media as he delivered his strong warning to the protesters in the US capital.
This, as US President Donald Trump vowed to use his force if protesters tried to create an “autonomous zone” in Washington, D.C.
In his series of tweets — which earned Trump his own warning from Twitter for “abusive behavior” — Trump also threatened to arrest “anarchists” who “vandalize” or “destroy” national monuments during the protesters’ wave of nationwide demonstrations.
Protesters in central Seattle made an “autonomous zone” which sparked outrage among the conservatives.

Trump’s threat came a day after cops used pepper spray in order to disperse protesters who tried to pull down a statue of a former president Andrew Jackson in a park which was located next to the White House.
Police then forced the protesters away using their pepper spray and batons, yet only after the said monument was heavily spray-painted with slogans and epithets.
Protesters called for racial justice that had swept the US since the death of George Floyd. Some of the protests had been marked by vandalism, violence, and looting.
The mayor in Seattle, meanwhile, previously announced that cops planned to take control back of the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone”.
Some protestors in Washington have reportedly attempted to set up tents in parks near the White House, and the letters “BHAZ,” for Black House Autonomous Zone, were painted on a nearby church. Also on Tuesday, cops created their broad security perimeter around the White House and its surrounding parks — including the “Black Lives Matter Plaza”.
