President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday that he intends to apply “heavy power” against anyone who opposes the June 14 festival honoring the Army‘s 250th anniversary.
Trump said,” If there’s any activist who wants to come out, they will be met with really big power.” You may not have heard of a rally, but you are aware that these are people who despise our nation and who will be met with a lot of pressure.
