'Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else, during a time of crisis. Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis.' Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey responded to a tweet from President Trump accusing him of weak leadership:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speaks during a news conference on May 28, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Elizabeth FLo

"What we have seen over the past several hours and the past couple of nights in terms of looting is unacceptable," he said at a press conference."Our communities cannot and will not tolerate it." A police precinct was set on fire, vandalized and surrounded by protesters tonight -- but there was no sign of the police or firefighters. When asked why, Frey pointed to other fires and looting incidents that officers had to respond to as well.

The Mayor had to react asap on this situation,now look! People ,CHAOS gets you nothing!! Nothing but a nasty site you have to live in! Don't blame our President ONE THING HE IS NOT IS WEAK!! ALL THIS IS BEING STUPID!!!

Trump is a sorry excuse for a human being, never mind taking the proud strong United States to a level of sickness we have never witnessed

Trump couldn’t do any better in Minneapolis just look at the mess the country is in under trump.

It seems like the mayor is being transparent with the people. It seems like the police responsible are caught. It also seems like the protests are not working.

Said Nero, as Rome burned.

Actually, Donald Trump knows nothing about anything.

Mayor Frey is my hero.

Idk,,, maybe a Republican administration in Minnesota and Minneapolis might be better... hasn’t been tried in either in over half a century... what do have to lose?

China agree US issue a security law on Minnesota state.

Trump is a dictator

Anti racial discrimination

I was just thinking about the fact that how many sins would you have to commit to have god punish you with someone like realDonaldTrump as your president! In his words- “Billions and billions, millions and billions of sins”

Awesome to talk about Minneapolis strength while it burns as a background. 👌🏼

'Thank You Mayor Frey, your 2 dollar check in mail. Too bad you have no post office left to pick it up.'

Mayor of CLOWN WORLD.
