Mr Trump described the protest as "peaceful" and said paint was "a defensive mechanism, paint is not bullets".
I wonder if the Secret Service will see it his way...

Did... did he just completely screw over the conservative strawman of peaceful BLM protests by accident?
If using anything but bullets to commit violence can be counted as a peaceful protest, then almost all of the violence of the past two months meets that definition.
Wow, thanks Donald!

Now that I think about it, I kinda feel like Tim Pool's political trajectory kinda retroactively validates the criticisms lots of old crusty left-wing intellectuals had of Occupy Wall Street.

"President Trump, wouldn't you agree that it's wrong that the radical Marxist Democrats won't let the good and beautiful American people who support you set their Maoist cancel culture PC police stations on fire? Isn't that just like in nazi Germany, which was also Marxist and had cancel culture?"

Probably intentionally leaving it open for his followers to fill in the gap with whatever they personally think is behind everything bad. Usually marxists or jews according to the ramblings I've seen from Trumpists.

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump claimed that “we had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.” He then claimed the matter was “under investigation right now.”

Remember that guy whom Donald hired months ago? The guy who spent his entire professional career claiming that there was nothing wrong with the American healthcare system? Well... he's now pro-herd immunity strategy., after 180,000 deaths and millions of cases.Atlas explicitly denied that he is pushing a herd immunity strategy, but an administration official told CNN all of the policies Atlas has pushed for are in the vein of a herd immunity strategy.
Atlas has rejected the need for widespread community testing, arguing that the administration should focus almost exclusively on protecting and testing elderly populations while pushing for the rest of the economy to return to normal, this official said.

It's not hard to identify them. They're all in black uniforms on ThugAir.In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump claimed that “we had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.” He then claimed the matter was “under investigation right now.”

I posted earlier about this, he basically described every reality crew/film/tv production tech crew ever. Wearing black, lots of gear, tattoos. He was spooked by the Grip & electric, camera, and sound crews.
Or he's constantly making up a mysterious enemy so that more of his supporters load up in pickup trucks to fire paintballs at protestors until he gets his justification for draconian bullshit.

That's a plausible theory. Well, both of them are.
But as the article above points out, the truth may even be more sad: It's a Facebook post that he's read and made his own. "A person you know has told me..." could easily be Trump-speak for "I read it on Facebook."

When he was leaving for Kenosha he said he'd 'get permission' from the person who 'told him' to reveal who he is. Not holding my breath.
