Mass demonstrations have taken place across the country to call for justice for Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for more than seven minutes as Floyd pleaded for help. Tensions have escalated as police officers have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters, and some demonstrators have set buildings and cars on fire."Everything's on the table," Rollins told Politico in a remote interview."I think ultimately he believes, and rightfully so, that he is in a constant narrative and conversation with his citizens."Trump has been tweeting about the case and delivered lengthy remarks on the protests during a NASA event on Saturday.

Rollins, who heads the White House domestic policy council, said the White House is examining a list of possible bipartisan"solutions" focused on how to bring the country together.While Rollins talked about reaching across the aisle, Trump has repeatedly lashed out about the protests in partisan terms, calling out governors and mayors who are Democrats.
