“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.”

    This is why I am physically unable to listen to him speak. He just meanders around his sick little brain garden, making no sense at all, but pretending his words are thee most profound thing uttered since God spoke to Moses.

      Commandment 1: Tho shalt, and shalt is a pretty big word you know, it means that you should, but it’s really like you must. And I think you must, because it’s really important to do the things you know, because they are really important and you should do them.

      Commandment 2: Because if you didn’t then you wouldn’t have done it, and then it didn’t get done, so you should do it, and other should do it.
