NATIONAL GUARD/PROTESTS: “All you have to do is look at Portland. Look at the agitators. Look at the anarchists in Portland. And our people have done a great job in protecting our courthouse. And I told my people, a little while ago: If they don’t solve that problem locally, very soon, we’re going to send in the National Guard and get it solved very quickly, just like we did in Minneapolis and just like we will do in other places. They want to solve their problem. They’ve got a very short time to do it. But they’ll either solve their problem or we send in the National Guard.”
