On Monday, President Trump finally broke his silence after leaving the nation in agony over the weekend with his failure to issue a formal address as rioters rampaged across America. Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, the president pledged to offer military aid to quell what he described as domestic terror.
“First we are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. We will end it now,” Trump said. “Today I have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets. Mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will quickly deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.”
