NEW: President Trump has dismissed advice from his allies urging him to tone down his rhetoric and held back so far on a formal address to the nation as cities across the US see another night of protests. Reporting by spettypi, albamonica, kwelkernbc.

There is broad agreement among Trump’s allies and closest aides that his current, largely incendiary messaging on protesters could backfire politically and also potentially further fuel the turmoil, these people said.

In remarks following a visit to view the SpaceX rocket launch in Florida Saturday, Trump said the death of Floyd had “filled Americans all over the country with horror, anger, and grief." Still, Trump has carried on an appearance of business as usual. With cities still smoldering, Trump returned to Florida Saturday afternoon to watch the country’s first commercially manned rocket launch, an event the White House planned to use to tout American innovation and the economy. When asked by reporters if he considered calling off the trip, Trump said he felt he had an obligation to be there.

But while Trump has been heavily criticized over his response, the demonstrations provide him the type of culture war distraction he had been seeking to take the focus away from his administration’s response the coronavirus, which killed more than 100,000 people this week and has resulted in one in four Americans filing for unemployment, said one outside adviser.

I say let him address the nation. He will end up shooting him self in the foot and hopefully cost himself the election. Fuck realDonaldTrump

Its Not okay to burn a city down and loot businesses What happened to Floyd is not acceptable, but the protestors should be outraged that ANTIFA IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEM.WE NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT BUT NOT LIKE THIS.

All this while hiding in the bunker lmao 🤣

Inexperienced, arrogant, and ignorant... and oh yea, orange !!..This is what happens when you elect a fool, a joke, a fake tough guy to be president because YOU THINK ITS GOING TO MAKE YOU TOUGH TO ! It doesn’t and it hasn’t

He’s is, was, and will always be, a JOKE!

Sorry but tRump won’t tone down until he has burnt down this entire country...He is a threat to the USA and needs to be removed for everyone’s sake .

He’s being trompe

USA CITIZENSHIP A.S.A.P. READ THIS

Tell those governors to get to work

Trump played down the seriousness of COVID19 for 72 days delaying the federal & states response. 100,000+ people dead & counting. Destroyed businesses. Economy crashing. Fanned the flames of racism & divisiveness for years. Riots. FailedPresident AmericaOrTrump protests2020

Oh-My-God-OmniabsoluteGravitational-Constant: Thus POTUS seems to enjoy that USA🇺🇸 Economy is a busted, coronavirus is prolific & a lots of USA🇺🇸 cities are on 🔥 fire! (I'm just saying, laughter & what-a-state-of-the-Nation)?

For centuries minorities have survived, slavery, beatings, lynchings, segregation, rape & poverty while being forced to build our railways, roads & bridges. Despite being held down they overcame & built businesses & communities. Donald Trump isn't man enough to bring them down!

Just shows he's a bigger asshole than we thought,,.

The empathy should be for the Floyd family and those who've lost in the violence of these shame protest! Protests don't require the destruction of property!!! He is correct in not giving in to people who want to cause damage to the property of innocent people in our communities!

Good may everything blow up in his face!

He's such a bastard

He is gasoline on a fire right now, he needs to think hard about his rhetoric.

realDonaldTrump is a legit coward who has no clue how to deal with this logically. Take a poll. Most Americans could care less about what he has to say. He divides rather than unites. DumpTrump trumpisacoward

When does this guy ever listen to any of his advisers. If he doesn’t like their ideas, he’s going to fire them.

Hopefully trump continues with his insane and malicious rhetoric which will encourage sane people to vote him out of office 2020

He believes it helps him!

November cant come soon enough!

Still calling the riots protests I see.

25thAmendmentBeforeWeAllDie

Good...he's his own worst enemy. He has nothing positive or uplifting to offer.. He's an epic failure. He wouldn't and couldn't change anything for the better..

How would anybody know what that crazy bastard is doing? He's hiding in the basement afraid that a mob is going to get him.

bissygumdrops He won’t ever tone down his racist rhetoric, it’s what got him elected.

do you really want to hear what he's got to say?

Hardly a surprise. He does what he can get away with

Again dereliction of his duties as our President. He’s part of the problem!!!

He is 'dismissing' because he is a Narsasitis with Delusions of Grandeur and should be run out of office on a rail, immediately. But his enablers, like the Republican Senate refuse to protect this great country by removing him.

This is easily fixed tell America Trump has resigned and America will go into the celebration mode! It would be the biggest party in history the whole world would rejoice!!TrumpLiesAmericansDie

That’s because he started it dictator not a president and all of you voting for him need to open your eyes this isn’t going to benefit any of you. Police will continue to have free range on racial killings due to no one investigating the police depts

The problem with my allies is they are all just like me: Fair weather friends. People like us only ever think of themselves when you get right down to it. So now they are thinking of themselves and not me. I have no use for allies, only people that will fall on their sword.

If spreading WuhanCoronavirus is not enough, CCPChina Xijinping is doing more...

Chicken Trump, you don’t trust people voted for you?

This is going to be epic. Trump is going to bury himself. He is going to cut the last tie he had with basically all swing voters. MAGA is all alone now.

SLEEPY WHO?

He consistently shows that he is unable to lead during times of crisis, and that his words are empty and meaningless. It would be better if he just resigned and deleted his social media accounts. A real leader needs to emerge at this time.

He is a dictator that's what he has to do

Lie he addressed Mr Floyd and the riots when he was at the space launch.

Something definitely needs to be done about this. People's lives are in danger from Covid19 and from other factors. So out of control.

Hunker in a bunker!🤡

What allies?

If everyday Americans can't see how destructive NBC and other fake news are we are doomed.

HE DOES WHAT PRETTY BOY PUTIN TELLS HIM.!! Russian state media encouraging Trump to let protests go on to ‘terrorize’ white people into voting for him: report

Because he’s a “genius.”

Many, many people don't want to hear or to see him. StayInTheBunker

Make no mistake, he loves the chaos. Just loves it.

Bone spurs must be too painful for machoman to address our nation!

It's TOO LATE! Trump is not a Leader! Why do people have to tell this President what he needs to do? WHY If he was a responsible Leader it would have already been done. No More Bull Shit! trump needs to Resign and take his Gang of Republicans with him! They are Rotten to the Core

Don’t people get it still? He IS the villain.

Tone down? There's zero reasons to back down and be weak to these domestic terrorists. Tone down.... that's just tone deaf to those who've lost their businesses to these pieces of garbage.

More BS from NBC news. I would believe nothing reported by your network.

He makes things worse when he talks to media or is in front of a podium. Normally you’d want the president out front to allay fears and pain. It’s not in his nature to be a kind or compassionate person. So addressing the nation would not help.

Someone needs to start trying to anticipate the evil trump is soon to unleash on the country. He will not surrender. He is an insane person.

It’s like watching a very fat and orange dumpster burn 🔥

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc tRUMP is doing JUST what Putin wants.. destroying America's justice and social structure... Repubs. are letting it happen.. soon America will be just like Russia Oligarchs with money and Dictator to keep them rich and the poor people working.☠☠☠🥴🥴🥴

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Presidementia — Trump “dismisses” because he lacks the cognitive ability to comprehend. His brain is organically impaired, incompetent, diseased, & disabled. This is dementia similar to what his father had, biological or drug related. Look it up. TrumpDementiaSyndrome TDS

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc “formal address to the the nation”? No, thank you. He begins this morning by tweeting defense of white supremecists. We don’t need an address from him. BunkerDon can just stay in the bunker.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He need not address the nation because he is lousy at it.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc realDonaldTrump is essentially the cause of this mayhem and by open his mouth and/or tweeting he will only encite more unrest. His entire regime needs to resign.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He is just an ignorant AH. He doesn’t listen to anyone and of course he is always right so he doubles down!! He has to be VOTED out of office if we can wait that long!!!

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Resign !

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc His problem is: He really really doesn't care and he is really really not an actor. Plain and simple. Little rocket man will duz what he duz.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Donnys ego won’t let him listen too anyone else. That is why he is so dangerous.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He did the opposite. He popped off with a bunch of incitement via tweet and then went to his bunker, leaving Secret Service to deal with it.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc I’m completely shocked that Trump would choose to further polarize and divide Americans. Grifter has got to grift.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He doesn't know what a rhetoric really is.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He only listens to his owner(Putin) and white nationalists 🧛‍♂️

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He won’t address the nation because BunkerBoy is a coward.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He's done nothing but tweet for a week as the entire country burns to the ground. It's embarrassing.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Deer in the headlights.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Did he get that advice while hiding in the bunker? BunkerBoy

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Good. Let realDonaldTrump speak his mind. Give him a megaphone and a platform. Give him an opportunity to show who, in times of distress and pain, MAGA elected to lead our country. Let him tie his own noose and hang himself in front of the world.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc POTUS is nuts. He needs to stop talking and tweeting his ugliness

He wants to see the country burn.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Trump wants to use this matter to create a police state.That will be one step closer to his goal of a dictatorship. So he will continue to enrage the emotions of a weary America from his pandemic failure and resulting economic devastation. He is destroying democracy as we know it

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He is such a weak human

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc We’re seeing for ourselves who these violent groups are, thanks.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Terrible leader this chaos and virus is exposing the fraud he truly is.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc He wants this to declare Emergency and postpone elections indefinitely. He is too beastly not to have a nefarious agenda. It is all self preservation politics.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Liberal propaganda wants more riots arson looting and vandalism.

spettypi albamonica kwelkernbc Does this make it about the one millionth time he’s been offered the opportunity to rise to the occasion? What make anyone think that this time will be any different?
