“Take back your city NOW,” Mr. Trump wrote on Thursday. “If you don’t do it, I will.”
Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stopped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!

Mr. Inlsee tweeted back: “A man who is totally incapable of governing should stay out of Washington state’s business.”
