....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

Twitter put a warning on the tweet saying that it was "glorifying violence" but would remain up because it may be in the public's interest to remain accessible.
If I may nitpick a bit, but nothing wrong with Trump using the "thug" to describe those that deserve it.
Back in 2015, Prez Obama used the same language talking about those that looted and committed criminal acts in Baltimore, "criminals and thugs" as he put it.
Other than that, didn't agree with how he worded the rest of that tweet as I already mentioned.
