President Trump has accused BLM leader Hawk Newsome of treason after he made the following comment, ‘If U.S. doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.’ Trump said his comments were treason, sedition and insurrection.
He also commented on Comrade Bill de Blasio for saying he would paint Black Lives Matter in the street in front of Trump Plaza.
Trump said:
“Told that NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to paint the fabled & beautiful Fifth Avenue, right in front of Trump Tower/Tiffany, with a big yellow Black Lives Matter sign. ‘Pigs in a Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon,’ referring to killing Police, is their chant. NYC Police are furious!”
Black Lives Matter leader states, “If U.S. doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it”. This is Treason, Sedition, Insurrection!

De Blasio’s promise came after Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser painted the same words on a street near the White House and dubbed the block, “Black Lives Matter Plaza.”
In recent days, protesters attempted to turn the area into a “Black House Autonomous Zone” and topple a statue of President Andrew Jackson in nearby Lafayette Square. The president responded by stating his intent to sign an executive order by week’s end that would criminalize the act of vandalizing any federal monuments, statues, or properties.
Trump also activated 400 National Guard troops in the D.C. area to assist National Park Police in protecting federal monuments and properties. The troops will be unarmed and will remain on active duty through July 8.
