When it comes to vandalism against shops or throwing stones at police officers, Trump says it is difficult to speak of peaceful protest, “but of real domestic terrorism.”
His visit to Kenosha took Trump to damaged stores. He also talked to the local security forces. “We’re going to help them,” he said of the local merchants. According to the president, the agents have done “a fantastic job”. Trump’s caravan was hailed by his supporters, while demonstrators of the Black Lives Matter movement in Kenosha had also taken to the streets.
Before the start, Trump had disregarded warnings that his visit could still stir the sharp divisions. However, Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers had asked Trump to stay away. “I think this (visit) just helps because I defend law and order,” the president responded.
