Donald Trump Says It’s “MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE”

By News & Guts

A tweet from Donald Trump prompted a lot of questions today. Following protests outside the White House Friday night, Donald Trump declared tonight will be “MAGA NIGHT.”

The professionally managed so-called “protesters” at the White House had little to do with the memory of George Floyd. They were just there to cause trouble. The @SecretService handled them easily. Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???

I’ll say it again, this is a new, alarming angle on what’s going on. Why does the president seem to be encouraging the infiltration of the legitimate #GeorgeFloydProtests by groups injecting mayhem? What is “MAGA night?” https://t.co/Dd14frf7fi

As Trump left for Kennedy Space Center today he was asked what his “MAGA NIGHT” tweet meant and whether there was a MAGA protest planned for tonight. Here’s what he said:

“These are people who love this country, I have no idea if they are going to be here, I was just asking, MAGA is make America great again. By the way, they love African-American people, they love black people. MAGA loves the black people.”

“MAGA loves black people” suggests black people aren’t a part of “MAGA.” That they are outside of it. And that’s the point. https://t.co/0B23psE0sG

MAGA NIGHT.

Is that going to be a bunch of angry white guys with tiki torches and big guns swarming the White House?

Probably.#TrumpResignNow

Trump just said "MAGA loves the black people." Who the fuck talks like that? Even if you didn't know anything about Trump, you know he was a racist just from hearing him say something like that, because only a racist would talk like that.
