I suspect you don't actually care about being factual, but on the off chance that you do, Trump:
- tear-gassed protestors[1][2] to clear them out for a photo-op
- used the National Guard against BLM protestors[3]
- threatened to personally use the military against protestors unless governors acted themselves (which they largely did) [4]

- TMWNN 3y ago>There was a mob that picketed the White House and attacked the security detail. The president had to be evacuated. Correct. The Secret Service did not, unlike the Capitol Police, inexplicably allow protesters to enter the White House.
