Trump threatens 'automatic 10 years in prison' for anyone harming statues: 'If they even try'

Historic monuments and statues have become the targets of anger and vandalism during protests

President Trump issued a warning Sunday morning to anyone who even attempts to harm federal monuments, including the Lincoln or Jefferson Memorials, saying that they will automatically face a substantial prison term.

Historic monuments and statues have become the targets of anger and vandalism during protests in the wake of George Floyd's death while in police custody at the end of May. The initial statues under fire were those of Confederate soldiers and generals largely in the South, but the anger has spread to monuments well beyond that historical period.

In the free free country. Freedom and freedom. Unless you spit on a statue then 10 years in prison. Sounds like the king of Thailand. Talk shit about the king and an immediate prison sentence.

7:45 PM It is retroactive because the penalty already exists. It is a matter of actually enforcing it.

Great idea!

That seems totally constitutional, the executive branch decrees statutory law. If he can do that why is Hillary not locked up? Why is abortion still legal?

Why bother with a Legislative Branch of Government? Send them home, let Trump just make all the laws.
