Trump tells 'weak' governors to 'dominate' streets amid protests
By Brett Samuels, Reid Wilson, and Morgan Chalfant - 06/01/20 12:08 PM EDT


President Trump pressed the nation’s governors to crack down on protesters during a phone call Monday after a night of violent demonstrations in cities across the U.S., according to multiple sources familiar with the call.

One source familiar with the call said that Trump told governors to “dominate” and “take back your streets.” Trump was sharply critical of local leaders on the call, castigating them as being “weak” in response to the demonstrations, according to another source.

The president held the call with state leaders as protests persisted nationwide in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for roughly eight minutes. The officer who pinned Floyd to the ground with his knee was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter last week.


“This call was insane,” said one source briefed on the call. “They just went off on governors."

President Donald Trump unleashed heavy criticism for several U.S. governors Monday for allowing rioting and looting in their states, describing them as weak.

“The only time it’s successful is when you’re weak, and most of you are weak,” Trump said in a private video conference in the Situation Room of the White House, referring to the consecutive nights of looting and rioting across the nation.

The intense call lasted nearly an hour, according to reports.

I'll bet a lot of Rats were "clutching their pearls" when Trump called them out for not doing their job.
