We will not be anything without you, Lord. ” Instead, they choose to lie to the people of California and America by saying that we did not need us and that they are “peaceful protests”. A look at the photos and videos of violence and destruction tells you everything you need to know. We will always do what we need to keep our citizens safe so that we can, together, make America big again! “He wrote on Truth Social.
