Trump has not taken accountability for one single thing during his Presidency unless it was about credit for something that someone else did. He does not possess even one single leadership trait. I do not think anyone should refer to him as “President” ever again. ETTD

Tune out that guy in the White House. Hes not a president

It's pointless to respond to the bloated, orange mushroom-man, but he is correct, you did kind of disappear for about six hours.

He's a cuck.

This Mayor should resign immediately! You dont let thugs run wild and burn down people’s businesses!

The mayor needs to resign he is not a leader

Kettle/Pot.. FYI, MayorFrey admitted he allowed the city to burn to the ground. Let me guess, you’ll want tax dollars no one has to rebuild right? Nope not gonna happen. There will be mass migration. No Fed $ either. You allowed privileged white Antifa to burn a black community.

He didn't just point his finger he got with your governor and did your job

I like him. I just wish he was down on the streets more.

It’s is disgusting to see the racism and how they treat the African Americans in USA! But more important, everybody regardless race, religion, cultural , political background , sexual orientation must rise the voice to promote change and equal treatment! Wake up USA! Vote blue!

He’s so deep. Sucks at being a mayor though.

That is all trump has done. 'I take no responsibility whatsoever' is his motto . The worst leader in US history!

You're doing a great job bud. Maybe tonight keep the guard on the street before people gather. I truly understand their anger, but we can't have fires every night. It was right to let the anger burn out yesterday, but we can't have this become contagious. God speed.

To bring back order & peace only the National Guard should be in the streets. The Minneapolis Cops presence now only pour's oil on the fire. Where have the Mayor and Police Chief stored their brains ?

'I know you are but what am I?'

Gotta deflect from your own total failure someway if you're this guy.

'Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else' Which is exactly what he's been doing.

Enjoy New Baltimore.
