Trump says anyone who protests at Saturday's military parade 'will be met with very heavy force'

 Donald Trump warned people against protesting at this weekend’s military parade in Washington to celebrate the US Army’s 250th anniversary.

“For those people that want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I haven’t even heard about a protest, but you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force.”

That type of threat would usually be made by an authoritarian ruler. Meaning: You will glorify me and the countries military.  "They will be met with very heavy force."  One might interpret that statement as, you will be met armed violence.  We will shoot you.
