Donald Trump Blasts Governors For Not Being More Aggressive With Protestors
Donald Trump is agitated and he may even be a little worried after he had to be taken to an underground bunker over the weekend due to the protests out in Washington D.C.
The President is now calling on all governors to step things up to control the people in their cities. In a recording obtained by CNN, Trump told the governors in a call from the basement White House Situation Room that they need to start using aggressive tactics on protesters. He told them: “You have to dominate or you’ll look like a bunch of jerks, you have to arrest and try people.”
While speaking about the protestors who have been demanding justice for George Floyd and to end police brutality, Trump explained that “It’s a movement if you don’t put it down it will get worse and worse,” Trump told them. “The only time its successful is when you’re weak and most of you are weak.”
According to CNN, Trump went on to say, that the “whole world was laughing at Minneapolis over the police station getting burned,” referring to the city where protests began last week after the death of an unarmed black man who was being taken into police custody on suspicion of forgery.
What’s a bit shocking is that Trump has spent extra time and energy into focusing on clearing the streets that has been filled with protesters, who have requested one thing: to arrest and charge ALL officers involved in the murder of George Floyd.
Clearly he’s not listening and the people will not stop until they finally get justice for Floyd.
