Trump to governors: 'Most of you are weak'

Trump reportedly told the nation’s govenors that they needed to more harshly crack down on the George Floyd protests currently intensifying across the country.

“Most of you are weak,” the president told the governors during a video teleconference, according to the Associated Press.

The remarks appear to be another attempt by the president to shift responsibility from the federal government to state and local officials.

Trump similarly insisted that states were in charge of overseeing and expanding coronavirus testing, as his administration was criticized for failing to meet testing demands amid the pandemic.


Always has good words.

George Floyd protests: Obama shares advice on how to make demonstrations 'a turning point'


Barack Obama has once again weighed in on the George Floyd protests, suggesting the demonstrations could translate to “peaceful, sustained, and effective action” to address structural racism.


In a new Medium post, the former president applauded the peaceful protesters who had marched to draw attention to Floyd’s killing, but he condemned those who had engaged in violent behavior.

“The overwhelming majority of participants have been peaceful, courageous, responsible, and inspiring. They deserve our respect and support, not condemnation,” Obama said.

“On the other hand, the small minority of folks who’ve resorted to violence in various forms, whether out of genuine anger or mere opportunism, are putting innocent people at risk.”

Obama emphasized that the protests had to translate into policy that would help to prevent more deaths like Floyd’s.

“I’ve heard some suggest that the recurrent problem of racial bias in our criminal justice system proves that only protests and direct action can bring about change, and that voting and participation in electoral politics is a waste of time,” Obama said. “I couldn’t disagree more.”

He continued, “[E]ventually, aspirations have to be translated into specific laws and institutional practices — and in a democracy, that only happens when we elect government officials who are responsive to our demands.”

Obama concluded by saying these protests could mark the beginning of a new chapter for the country. “If, going forward, we can channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action, then this moment can be a real turning point in our nation’s long journey to live up to our highest ideals,” he wrote.

New York is funny at the moment.

No excuses for De blasio after they arrested his daughter.

Can't even blame the Russians.

Obama carries partial responsibility for this. He is part of the movement that makes common criminals heroes for BLM.

This is getting out of control,it’s time time for them to end this, use bullets ,that’s the only way that will work. You can’t have people trashing innocent peoples businesses ,beating up people.This has gone from a protest to people having fun smashing and stealing.

That didn't work out so well for South Africa during the 80s.
Lets assume that approach to be tried and tested - to fail.
The problem here is there is no real "leadership" among the protesting groups a cross the country. Once some form of leadership is established control can be exersised and issues properly addressed.
