White House ends speculation that Trump will give televised address Sunday
The White House late Sunday morning announced that President Donald Trump would not appear on camera today, ending talk that he might address the nation regarding the protests seen across the country over the past few days.
But later in the morning, the White House declared a so-called lid, meaning the president was not going to be seen on camera. There had been no public events scheduled for the president. On Twitter early Sunday, the president said that “the lamestream media” are composed of “truly bad people”; that the U.S. would designate the anti-fascist movement known as antifa as a terrorist organization; and that the National Guard troops called up by the Democratic governor of Minnesota had done a “great job.”
