'Make Us All Safe. Go Back to Your Bunker' Seattle Mayor Tells Trump

Following an ultimatum from President Trump to “take back your city” or “I will,” Seattle’s mayor told the president to go away.

On Wednesday night, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan quote tweeted Trump, writing, “Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker,” and added the hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter.

The mayor was responding to a threatening outburst from the president, who was seemingly referencing an “autonomous zone” in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. The zone was established by demonstrators following a week of nightly confrontations where police used tear gas.

Trump tweeted, “Radical Left Governor Jay Inslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped [sic] IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!”

The president then baselessly called the protestors terrorists in another tweet minutes later. “Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!” he wrote.

Washington’s Governor Jay Inslee also fired back at the president while mocking Trump’s typo, which the president has now deleted and corrected.
