Recently I brought in my Angles Trumpet (first season of owning one) from outside to inside. It was still flowering and I wanted to enjoy as many blossoms as I could. The flowers are gone but now the leaves are getting these little brown things on them. They are soft and easy to remove. Are they a bug? Currently they are not on every leaf but seems to be invading fast. Please help.
Angels Trumpet pest
A photo would help. A major pest of brugmansia is whitefly and I believe they lay eggs on the underside of leaves.

I had those and aphids in my perenniaI garden this year, I sprinkled epsom salt all around the plants on the soil and it helped alot. It is supposed to be a good fertilizer too.
Scale?
Sounds like it, doesn't it, Lisa?

Tho scale can look different than these pics... and mealybugs arent far behind...
Yes tapla,it does. The descriptition doesn't say anything about them moving and that they are easy to remove so Scale is my first/ only thought.
