President Trump on Monday released a statement on Truth Social, warning insurrectionists in California, who are spitting on and assaulting law enforcement officers, that “If they spit, we will hit.”
“This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles,” he said.
“The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration.”

“If they spit, we will hit.” This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles. The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!
The President also issued a warning to the rioters during a press gaggle at Morristown Municipal Airport before meeting with generals and admirals at Camp David. He said they will “get hit very hard” if they spit on law enforcement or military members. “If we think there’s a serious insurrection, or less than that, we’re going to have law and order,” he said when asked about sending Marines and federal troops into California.
He further called for California officials to “face charges” if they “stand in the way of law and order.”
Reporter: Do you forsee those protests spread into other cities, Chicago, New York, for example, in the next few days?
Trump: We’re going to be watching it very closely. And when they spit at people, you know, they spit. That’s their new thing. They spit and worse. You know what they throw at them, right? And when that happens, I have a little statement. They say, “They spit, we hit,” and I told them, nobody’s going to spit on our police officers. Nobody’s going to spit on our military, which they do as a common thing. They get up to them this far away, and then they start spitting in their face. That happens, they get hit very hard.
The President made similar comments on Monday in response to California Governor Newsom’s challenge to Tom Homan to arrest him. “I would do it if I were Tom,” the President said.
