   WASHINGTON — Downtown Washington, D.C., was filled with flames and broken   
   glass in the early hours of Sunday morning as large groups of protesters   
   moved through the city for the second straight night.   
      
   The protesters caused extensive damage to businesses in the blocks   
   surrounding the White House after a large contingent of law enforcement —   
   including National Guard troops, the U.S. Park Police and the Secret   
   Service — kept the demonstrators back from the president’s residence.   
      
   Protesters lit fires at multiple locations around the city and clashed   
   with law enforcement, hurling fireworks and other projectiles at the   
   officers. Some protesters sprayed graffiti and broke windows in the city’s   
   downtown area. Officers from Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department   
   and the other federal agencies pushed back against the demonstrators with   
   riot shields, batons and tear gas.   
      
   The chaos at the Capitol was part of a wave of demonstrations that have   
   taken place around the country the past week following the May 25 death of   
   George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man, in Minneapolis police   
   custody. Video footage showed Officer Derek Chauvin holding his knee on   
   the back of Floyd’s neck for several minutes as he complained that he   
   could not breathe. Chauvin was arrested Friday and charged with third-   
   degree murder and manslaughter.   
      
   The first wave of protests to hit Washington, D.C., was on Friday night,   
   stretching into the early hours of the next day as protesters breached   
   barricades between Lafayette Park and Pennsylvania Avenue across the   
   street from the White House. The protesters spent hours violently clashing   
   with Secret Service officers and U.S. Park Police as they pushed toward   
   the White House. After 3 a.m. ET, the Secret Service surged forward and   
   dispersed the protesters with pepper spray. Once Lafayette Park was   
   cleared, it was locked down with barricades and riot shields — held by   
   Secret Service, Park Police and National Guard troops. The expanded   
   perimeter kept the crowds at least a block from the White House.   
      
   While some protesters spent Saturday night and early Sunday morning   
   clashing with law enforcement at the barricades near the White House, many   
   more moved into the nearby business district. President Trump posted a   
   slew of tweets on Saturday evening but none directly addressed the   
   protests that raged near his home.

   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car

   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,   
   appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
