“What do you think they [protesters] want?” Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. “What do you think they need, right now, from you?”

 

Here was Trump’s answer, verbatim:

"Protesters for different reasons. You’re protesting also because, you know, they just didn’t know. I’ve watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren’t able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.

“But a lot of them really were there because they’re following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we’ve seen it over the years. We haven’t, you know, this was one horrible example, but you’ve seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I’ve seen it, too. I’ve seen it before I was president. I’ve seen it. I think it’s a shame. I think it’s a disgrace. And it’s got to stop.”

    Thank you lmao. I always watch the president. Been doing it since before its cool.

    Biden delivered an amazing speech one moring at 3AM to our NATO allies, it must have been 2023ish. I could not believe an 81 year old man had flown across the water to give a unifying speech. He even made a gaff! But it was well received and it was a presidential action.

    Shame on him for being tired past 10pm at night, unable to debate a madman who’s unable to stop lying. If only he spent 4 years relaxing, playing golf he may had been more energetic, the one hour of one night america decided to pay attention and judge a man by his words an actions.
