Trump threatens White House protesters with Secret Service, 'ominous weapons'

U.S. President Donald Trump Saturday touted the Secret Service's handling of protesters outside the White House, while saying protesters only "cause trouble" and "had little to do with the memory of George Floyd."

The White House was partially locked down on Friday night by the Secret Service amid nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd.

"Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had, they would ... have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen. That's when people would have been really badly hurt, at least. Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action," Trump wrote in a slew of tweets Saturday morning.
