Trump says veterans' 'wall' of protectors and ‘line of innocent mothers’ were ‘anarchists who hate our country’Donald Trump is desperately trying to win a “law and order” campaign, but to do so he has to paint Black Lives Matter protesters as a group of violent anti-American attackers. The video footage not only doesn’t support it, it’s working against him.
Over the weekend in Portland veterans from every branch of service lined up to protect Black Lives Matter protesters as Trump’s federal troops tear-gassed and beat protesters.
Another huge crowd tonight in Portland, including a new "wall" on the front lines: a Wall of Vets.
Here's a look at the line of military veterans getting set up here in front of the federal courthouse. Behind them, the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Dads are arriving.

He mentions Chris David, a Navy veteran that went up to speak with federal officers last week and got brutally hit with a baton.

“The ‘protesters’ are actually anarchists who hate our Country (sic),” Trump tweeted Sunday. “The line of innocent ‘mothers’ were a scam that Lamestream refuses to acknowledge, just like they don’t report the violence of these demonstrations!”

In Portland, in particular, a group of veterans and a group of moms and leaf-blowing dads helped work as protectors of the protesters. It created a PR disaster for the president, but he has doubled down, calling veterans “anarchists against our country” and the wall of moms a “scam.”
It infuriated those online who couldn’t believe Trump would attack mothers or veterans publicly, particularly with just 100 days until the election.
"You ordered federal thugs to attack unarmed moms. You’re a weak, small man.""look everybody Trump and his crackpot followers think MOTHERS ARE ANARCHISTS 😄. I SWEAR TRUMP AND CREEPS are the BIGGEST IDIOTS EVER. THEY'RE SCARED 😱 OF THE WORLD 🌎 ITS THE WEAKNESS THEY ALL HAVE."
"Trump, by falsely accusing protestors of being “anarchists who hate our country,” is going to war with the American people who are just excercising their First Amendment rights to speak freely and to assemble. It sets the precedent for a military police state that is truly scary.""PROTESTING IS A RIGHT
Trump's ongoing demonization of peaceful protesters is a disgrace & demonstrates his total lack of support for democracy. Just like he tries to suppress the vote, he tries to oppress US citizens. Characterizing all protesters as "anarchists" is unpatriotic."
"Trump's been salivating & waiting for an opportunity to turn our government against it's own people. He has NO problem calling American moms & veterans "anarchists who hate our country." This is OUTRAGEOUS. Americans in Portland are rising up due to the threat of FASCISM."
"Wall of Vets hate our country? Trump is the guy who lets Putin kill American Troops.""Trump's private army, recruited by Erik Prince, are actually totalitarian jihadists who hate our country. They attack innocent mothers and actual war veterans, groups Trump refuses to acknowledge, just like he won't report illegal violence by his Gestapo!"
"I am a mother and I support this message. We don’t hate our country, we love our country and we’re defending it from YOU!""Mothers, vets, nurses and dads hate you. In fact, everyone hates you. You are a disgrace to the country and you are in for a rude awakening this November."

The protesters don’t hate our country. They hate what is taking place in our country under you.
They want to save our country. (From people like trump!) They have a guaranteed right to do so!!!""Wow, there sure are a LOT of "anarchists that hate our country" under the Donald Trump regime. I guess I must be one of them?"
"Trump is smearing and discrediting “mothers” (or does he mean housewives?).
This should go over really well with suburban women
The misogynistic psychopath didn’t have a mother who cared or loved him. His mother was the anarchist who Trump felt hated him. Projection.""Here’s the line of innocent mothers that Trump is calling a scam."

.They love our Country. Trump wouldn't understand that. You are trying to invoke Marshall law. Incase you haven't notice, we are not going to allow that to happen. We the people have spoken. They don't wont your lil Goof troop messing with our kids."Hat reads “STRONG AS A MOTHER”
