Iran Press/America: "Take back your city NOW. If you don't do it, I will," the President warned Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan on Wednesday. "This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped [sic] IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!"
Trump also claimed that the protesters, who he called "domestic terrorists," have taken over Seattle,CNN reported.
The President has threatened to use active military to tamp down protests and has encouraged governors to deploy the National Guard to help assist with demonstrations.
The two Democrats, Inslee and Durkan, responded to the President, ratcheting up the Twitter spat during dual health and economic crises and nationwide civil unrest over racial injustice.
"Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker," Durkan wrote, referring to Trump being moved to the White House bunker for nearly an hour amid intense protests last month.
"A man who is totally incapable of governing should stay out of Washington state's business. 'Stoop' tweeting," Inslee wrote.
Trump responded to the taunts on Thursday, reiterating his threat to get directly involved in tamping down the protests.
The death of George Floyd, 46, a black man who died on 25 May after he was pinned down by a white Minnesota police officer, has sparked outrage and protests in Minneapolis, across the United States, and around the world and highlight several problems which have been evident in the US for a long time; human rights violation, police brutality and racism especially against African Americans.
