"What do you think they [protesters] want?" Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. "What do you think they need, right now, from you?"
Here was Trump's answer, verbatim:
"Protesters for different reasons. You're protesting also because, you know, they just didn't know. I've watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren't able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.
"But a lot of them really were there because they're following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we've seen it over the years. We haven't, you know, this was one horrible example, but you've seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I've seen it, too. I've seen it before I was president. I've seen it. I think it's a shame. I think it's a disgrace. And it's got to stop."
Edit: This quote was from 2020
I'm not even convinced he knows where he is half the time.
Having someone this dysfunctional partially in charge of a country is dangerous and shouldn't be allowed.
Edit: The original post quote is apparently from a previous protest from 5 years ago, so not really about current events.
Doesn't change my opinion or make my original comment any less relevant.
Partial credit to the millions who voted for him, millions who stayed home and the millionaire enablers who didn’t speak up and paid $1M to his inaugural committee.
I can’t stand him either, but his decline is natural, where the lack of empathy and hatred and poor judgment of the most obese nation is not.
