It does seem like a disproportionate response to deploy dozens of heavily armed stormtroopers to stop anyone with a can of spray paint. I really, really, really doubt that this propagandistic show of force was employed out of tender concern for the purity of the iconic DC monuments. From a fiscal standpoint, it would be far cheaper and easier to just pay a couple of guys to clean off the graffiti.
It's clear what's really going on here. Them uppity darkies have used the Lincoln Memorial as a site for many iconic protests/speeches/performances, particularly when they were forbidden to hold such events elsewhere, so Trump is trying to take that away. Racist shit. Same old same old.
