'Let them rot!': Trump retweets supporter's message calling for
Democrat-led cities such as NYC and Chicago to be abandoned
President Donald Trump ended up retweeting a post by one of his supporters
that called for Democrat-led cities to be abandoned and left to rot.

The tweet was made by Brandon Straka, who is a pro-Trump activist.
Straka first made headlines in June of this year after he was banned from American Airlines for refusing to wear a face mask.
Straka's tweet on Sunday afternoon was accompanied with a video clip shot
on Thursday showing protesters near New York's Times Square.
'Leave Democrat cities,' wrote Straka. 'Let them rot. The media and The Democrats have activated this mental illness and it's going to get more
and more people hurt and killed. WalkAway from the radical left. And do it quickly.'
The video was shot by retired NYPD detective Rob O'Donnell.
'NYC Times Square last night. They are threatening bodily & property
damage, limiting the free flow of traffic, unlawfully holding others
against their will. If NYC Leadership won't take action, the citizens will
need to defend themselves.'
The video shows Black Live Matter protesters yelling at the driver of a
black Jeep to turn around as the demonstrators blocked part of the road.
Trump's tweet came in for criticism including from CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
'I couldn't believe it when I first saw it, but I checked, and yes, the president of the United States actually retweeted this message to 'Leave Democrat cities. Let them rot.'
Similar despair was show by political reporter for the Washington Post.
'Have we lost our capacity to be shocked? The President of the United
States -- who is supposed to lead an entire nation -- just retweeted
someone urging "Leave Democrat cities. Let them rot."'
A former columnist for the New York Daily News, Brandon Friedman, said
that the tweet showed the country was in a 'civil war' or sorts.
'This is from the commander-in-chief, the President of the United States, further confirming that we are presently in a cold civil war,' Friedman
wrote.
### - “The Book of Acts says that Saul (later known as Paul: which means humble or small) was on his way from Jerusalem to Syrian Damascus with a mandate issued by the High Priest to seek out and arrest followers of
Jesus, with the intention of returning them to Jerusalem as prisoners for questioning and possible execution.”
As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul,
Saul, why do you persecute me? ... "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,"
1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the
Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest (2) and asked him for letters
to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged
to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to
Jerusalem.
3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven
flashed around him.
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do
you persecute me?"
5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,"
he replied.
6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound
but did not see anyone.
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him
in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, Lord," he answered.
11 The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask
for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on
him to restore his sight."
13 "Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and
all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest
all who call on your name."
15 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to
carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.
16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."
17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on
Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the
road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could
see again. He got up and was baptized,
19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent
several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of
God.
21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man
who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And
hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?"
22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in
Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23 After many days had gone by, the Jews conspired to kill him,
24 but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on
the city gates in order to kill him.
25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through
an opening in the wall.
26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they
were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how
Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him,
and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30 When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and
sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord
