President Trump pushed governors on a conference call to get tough on violent protesters, saying it was important to send in law enforcement to “dominate” and that “most of you are weak”

WASHINGTON—President Trump pushed governors to get tough on violent protesters in cities around the U.S. in a conference call Monday, saying that “most of you are weak.”

Speaking to governors on a teleconference Monday, the president said what was happening in New York City was “terrible” and added it was important for governors to send law enforcement in to “dominate” in this moment, according to a recording of the roughly one-hour-long call reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The President has the right to tell them that. The Lord bless America and our President/Vice President.

Pres. Trump is right through & through.

No more traffic tickets....lol

PEACEFUL PROTEST ONLY.

He should not call his own people weak. He should not send the military to attack and probably kill his people. Their family and friends. Their own people. Get out of the White House!

Why not hear the protestors , plead for them to be peaceful instead of hiding in bunker?

Weak said the asshat!

THESE ARE THE RESULTS, WHEN HATE BECOMES AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICS!

Not just weak, some maybe idiots to do nothing to stop the violation

Where was the tweet that he called them weak? Did he deleted it?

The tragic death of George Floyd is just an excuse to steal, loot, burn, break and attack innocent people. This individuals are criminals and should be punished to the full extent of the law!

He’s right.

His solutions are too simple minded and do not solve the root of problem. Stimulus checks that do not encourage spendings, riots that can be only resolved by suppressing.

The King has spoken!

Send in the tank to quell the rebellion...

Holy shit, Trump wants the National Guard to shoot back for retribution. bunkercoward zeroleadership

He did make a playdate with Putin and planned his golf outing for this weekend.

'It's a movement, if you don't put it down it will get worse and worse,' Trump said. 'The only time its successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak.'

The full quote please? Not fake newd cut and snip

Why not get tough on Trump and use the 23rdamendmentnow!

That's what happens when you elect a President in the hope that he will burn the unnecessarily complicated and unresponsive government to the ground. First chance he gets he dose it. Next time try to choose a president who can actually do the job, no matter how much it hurts.

Absolutely

Who's calling who weak....

AMEN & AMEN AGAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT HMM!

💩

oooo Sad trump the governors and mayors are more of a leader then you will ever be, the sad part you can not even run a kitchen crew and you trying to run a country S.M.H not happening

This calls to mind Bob Woodwards' interview question for Trump about what real power is. Trump's answer: Fear. It's the title of Woodwards' book. FEAR: TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

And this was said from his bunker? Vote2020

Is that why he was in a bunker. He's scared or of his mind now lol good

The violence is coming from the likes of Bannon and other extremist groups who have Trump's support...tear down the country, tear down the world...send in the clowns.

Usually when people say somone is weak they see this quality in themselves trumpisprojecting

Donald Trump would like to see the National Guard roll over American citizens with their tanks... it will make him feel strong and powerful, since he isn’t. He’s pathetic, deranged, incompetent, and a danger to the very core of our democracy.

ChinaCCP and Georgesoros sponsoring Antifa people to riot. Anarchy, rioting, and looting needs to end tonight. If the local law enforcement is overwhelmed and needs backup. We need to have zero tolerance for this destruction. Americans must come together now. AntifaTerrorists

Who is more weak . The hiding bunker bitch or the governors ?

Only missing that he is going to declare war against weak democrat states

He is RIGHT!!!!! Sitting on your hands and doing nothing while the cities including churches burn and innocent people are beaten, is WEAK. Governors who have allowed this need to enlist national guard. Cuomo speaking now and attacking NYPD for the way they have handled rioters!

I became a victim for more than 50,000 Americans in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body. Plz stop abuse. It's going on.

How quickly realDonaldTrump's call to governors today was leaked to MSM & media proceeded to blast POTUS. Who in the WhiteHouse is still leaking? Very nasty subversion. Scavino45 RudyGiuliani MarkMeadows PressSec

Yeah that COWARD realDonaldTrump sure as shit ain't gonna! He's hiding in a BUNKER from the FIRST AMENDMENT!!!! That's yr 'republitard' party people!!

This man is no leader

The government should be afraid of it's people. Go back to hiding in your bunker, realDonaldTrump. ICantBreathe

True, BO would have apologized and gone back inside.

You the man!!!🇺🇸 POTUS

He wants to see blood on the streets, be careful what you wish.

I totally agree with what he said Why are you always trying to undermine him? we're already used to it with the left media, but I didn't expect that from the WSJ

Karma

Said the coward from his bunker.

Americans are agree with the President; governors must to control and stop these paid people by radical liberal democrats and send them to jail.

Didn’t he get rid of Bannon ? Sounds very much like him.

Adolf Trump has spoken

Nice to see someone has a pair!

The unveiling of his real soul(less) and dreams.

Even weak is a compliment for these douch bags,they are total catastrophe!

After what rioters did. I'm buying more guns and handing out ammo..

WHAT!! ANOTHER HIT LE R blond

Of course, he only knows authoritarianism. He would never desire to open his mind to look at the underlying issues.

Yeah, that from 'president' BONE SPURS!

Rubert Murdoch is the problem.

I hate to say it, but he's right. Just look at the mayhem, looting, destruction, violence. It's all there for our eyes to see. It's too bad that peaceful protests against what happened to George Floyd were hijacked by extremists. We lost a healing moment. Very sad.

If ya got idiots burning and looting for Christmas shopping I'd say it's time to burn their homes like businesses

As he cowers in his bunker.

Show of strength but no responsibility!

All this as he hides under his bed, aka bunker, then quite expected from a rich draft dodger and the first American who said ' He knows more that all his Generals' well knows how to fire them!

Seems like a true statement when you hear the Chief of Police in Raleigh NC say “You’re on your own.” All of the PC hiring practices, rather than simply hiring the most qualified person without regard to race, have come home to roost. I thought we are striving to be colorblind.

Doesn't he know their are not enough police officers to take this on? What is a department going to do if half their force is our due to injury.

George Wallace just called and he wants his 1968 campaign back.

When the shoe fits......

Did Trump seriously say the police don't have to be too careful?

The wanna be dictator

He also admitted voter fraud… in the recording he says that he lives in Manhattan, but as we all know… he voted via absentee ballot, through the mail, as a resident of Florida.🤔 'Somebody should look into that!'

LAW AND ORDER MUST REIGN OVER HATE AND VIOLENCE

He has just reignited issues. You don't speak like this. Why is he so ignorant

Absolutely correct!

says the guy who went and hid in his bunker, inside one of the most secure buildings on the planet because people were yelling at him from outside of it lol 😂😂😂

He has a point. Most of you are...

Meanwhile, Cadet Bone Spurs was hiding in his bunker. LOL!! BunkerBitch

Was the conference call from his bunker?

It’s comments like this that stir up trouble. Watch yourself, trump!!! God Bless us all 🥰😇

Democrats let their cities burn because SpeakerPelosi will bail them out with trillion dollar relief packages that we end up paying.

Trump in public: 'MAGA loves black people' Trump behind closed doors: SHOOT THEM

I don’t think there is a weak Governor in the bunch of them. I only know of a weak President and Republican Senators

While he sits in the White House basement.

Sounds like one of Hitler's rants to his generals.

Enough is enough from now anyone who die for this matter perish lacking understand stay back home for work... Godcomment...

Police are supposed to have very limited powers. The Supreme Court has given them way too much power.

Says the coward who hides in a bunker. Going by that unhinged call sounds like he was snorting an awful lot of adderall while quaking in fear and rage tweeting. BunkerDon

Very true!

Says guy hiding in the bunker

This fits perfect w/ Trump wanting 2 distract us from the horrific job realDonaldTrump has done w/ the coronavirus coronavirus situation! These R Republican actors as we all know Dems aren't willing 2 be violent, but maga & Republicans R armed & ready 2 destroy our republic!

hahaha remember that all US citizen have the right to have guns by constitution. What could go wrong if they take all their guns in the riots to face police and national guard.

Trump has no previous governmental experience. Every single governor is more experienced. Why should they listen to him?

I hate you Trump. I can't wait to see you gone.

T'would be good to note that this is a man who has been fanning the flames of division of three years, who takes no responsibility but invents plenty of blame, and who - unlike those 'weak' governors - had to be hidden in a bunker because his incompetence is catching up to him.

shelbyholliday all projection all the time

Truth hurts.

As the coward hides in his bunker, lol

trumpIsAPussy

I will take GovTimWalz over realDonaldTrump in a cage match any day of the week.

First amendment?!

This is really tough talk coming from Cadet Covid Bonespurs who hid out in his White House bunker.

We Must Form A Citizens Group With Every Race Represented At The Top. We'll Number In The Millions & Be Able To Instantly Boycott & End Greedy Companies. Be Able To Influence Elections & Be The Real Leaders Of This Country. We've Given Away Our Rights, Now Let's Take Them Back!

Big mouth realDonaldTrump hiding in a bunker while Joe Biden is out on the streets talking to calm down protesters. The weak guy is clearly a total misfit for the White House.

First we protest NOW WE BOYCOTT then we get the CHANGE WE DESERVE!!!! If BLACK LIVES MATTER to you just take two seconds to hear me out THANK YOU 💜💜

Rapist pedophile

POTUS45 who turned out the WhiteHouse lights & hid in a basement bunker sez GOVERNORS are weak. It's the domestic counterpart of Rich/RulingClass sending others to fight wars abroad. NatlGovsAssoc

Tough talk from the guy who runs and hides in his fortified bunker

Hello hello? Can you hear me? Sorry but the echo in this bunker is terrible.

Like hide in a bunker weak? RacismMustStop BunkerDon people hijacking peaceful protests are a problem but putting out broad statements to dominate protesters is wrong. Address the nation - like a leader, hell even Nixon went to the Lincoln Memorial to address protesters

As he hides in his bunker. BunkerBoy

Glorifying violence again ... Not surprising, yet disgusting.

god i hate Trump so MUCH

Where is the lie?

There is no bottom NoBottom

“MOST OF YOU ARE WEAK” Coming from the president that’s hiding in a bunker! 😂

Good message. Many people are clueless with how government works. Mayors and Governors are elected local leaders who have the Police, SWAT, and National Guard at their disposal. Federal government is backup of local leaders don’t know how to handle their issues.

Don’t worry folks we Americans will get tough on trump in November

Gee- hope they hung up on him chickenshitDonny

Talking tough for someone in bunker

Mr trump is a thug, thinks US is his authoritarian state. So once again he uses threatening, vile, hateful language to the press & Governors, shows how little he understands of what we need & is not mentally fit to learn/listen to society & action on best interests for our health

So sayeth a man and his bunker.
