“The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others,” Trump posted. “These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration.”
“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before,” the president said.
He added: “Such disrespect will not be tolerated.”
