Calling the protests organized and a disservice to the cause of racial justice, President Trump insinuated that his own supporters might stage their own rally in front of the White House on this evening, a volatile suggestion at a fraught national moment
After a night of protests and racial unrest in US cities, President Donald Trump used Saturday morning messages to declare himself safe inside the White House, lash out at a Democratic mayor and raise the prospect of another demonstration with his supporters later in the day.
In a series of tweets, Trump commended the US Secret Service for protecting him inside his fortified mansion on Friday evening as protesters gathered outside over the death of George Floyd. The President suggested that dogs and weaponry were waiting inside the gates.
