1. Welcome to today's edition of the White House Daily shadow briefing. We use the real questions but use the truth in the answers rather than the lies and distortions and absurdities that come out of @PressSec mouth. So let's get right to questions. Q.The country is in crisis
2. there is a global pandemic that's claimed 100k lives , at least 40 million unemployed and there are now protests that are ripping apart many cities. Where is the President. Why hasn't he delivered an address to the nations. A. First of all, what would he say? He is best known
3. for a string of racist actions and remarks throughout his career. First it was illegally excluding blacks from apartment buildings his Daddy owned. Then it was the Central Park Five. Then the birther movement. And of course his praise of white supremacists in the aftermath of
4. Charlottesville. So nobody is going to believe he wants peace and racial reconciliation. In fact it's just the opposite. He wants chaos. He wants pitting people against each other. He loves the pictures on the tv, particularly of the white supremacists acting being
5. anarchists, destroying property and blaming it on Antifa. He loves that. You want him to go on national TV and go all George Wallace on the country. No, he wants to sit back and let America burn and then blame everyone else for it. It's exactly how he handled the pandemic. He
6. also thinks it's pretty sweet no one is covering that story anymore. Q. You said the President's focus is Antifa. George Floyd did not die in the custody of Antifa. He died in police custody. What is the President doing to reform police practices. A. Absolutely nothing. In
7. fact, his DOJ discontinued work being done to address police brutality against blacks. He wants to double down and hurt them as much as possible. Remember, he told the police to be rougher with them...putting them into the police car. He wants to double down on brutality.
8. That's why he's been silent on these brutal and murderous attacks. It's all part of his plan to get reelected. They are studying Nixon 1968 very very closely. Q In the call with the governors, the President said he'd put General George Miller in charge of all of this. What
9. does that mean? A. Normal Presidential bullshit. He had to have explained to him several times that the military can't operate here in the United States in a police action. But, like most weak people, he wants to look strong, so he wants his general in charge. He won't be
10. actually in charge of anything. But he does make a great photo-op. Q. In addition to the tough talk from POTUS about taking action against the looters and some the violence. Why hasn't he also complimented that message by calling on these people to remain calm, to go home,
11. to not destroy property and business. A. Because he does not see himself as a healer. He sees himself as an instigator and agitator. Remember, he wants the unrest because he thinks it helps him. he's had a lot of opportunities to praise those who have been peaceful, but
12. is not the narrative he's trying to get out there. He wants all white Americans to be scared of all black Americans so they will vote for him in November. This is just the latest iteration of the caravans storming America. Maybe we can build a wall. Q Followup on police
13. reform. NSA Obrien does not think there is systemic racism among law enforcement. Does POTUS share that view. A. Absolutely not. He knows there is racism among police and he's for it. He supports it. He thinks it helps him create a climate of fear to divide people. Haven't
14. guys been watching this guy for the last 20 years. Q. On Antifa, can you explain what the legal authority that POTUS has to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization and why doesn't he want to label white supremacists groups that are domestically located as terrorists.
15. The President sees white supremacists as patriots, not as terrorists. He loves when they blow things up, even if the kill law enforcement along the way. He knows that the real threat in this country is from white people, not black people. But that doesn't work for him
16. politically. Q. Should the three officers be charged as well. And on Antifa how would he identify members since its a very loose organization? A. On the three officers, he doesn't want them charged. If they are charged, things might calm down. He wants chaos, even if it
17. means cowering in the bunker at the White House. By the way, nobody made him go there. No one has that authority. And next time when you see him, ask him if he took his family with him. On Antifa, the President thinks they are easy to spot. They're black. Q. Governor
18. Whitmer said she found the call to be deeply disturbing. She said the POTUS told the governors put it down or they would be overridden. So what is he talking about because Posse Comatatus prevents the military from domestic police actions. A. It's a two pronged strategy. He
19. wants to make the governors look weak, you think he would have learned his lesson there, and then he wants to declare martial law and dissolve Congress. But I don't want to get ahead of the President. Q. Would you like to see 100k National guardsmen out. A. No, he wants to
20. the military out with their new super duper weapons. Q There is a perception that the President is hiding in the bunker on this protest issue. He was literally put in the bunker on Friday night. Would you agree he is hiding out on the issue and is that a good posture to be
21. in. A. First let me correct one thing, he was not put in the bunker. He chose to go there. No one has the authority to put the President anywhere. He went there because like most tough talking men he is a coward. He's hiding out because he doesn't want this problem to be
22. solved. He's unlike any President we've ever had. Anything tough he says is not his problem. Remember he is not responsible for anything. Q. We haven't heard him much on camera. Is he going to give a speech about all of these disturbances in 100's of American cities?
23. A. What would you have him say? That racism is wrong, that police routinely target black men, that America has a problem. He doesn't believe it's a problem and he knows everyone else knows he doesn't believe there's a problem. So he'll just hang in the bunker for awhile.
24. Can you confirm a call today between Trump and Putin and, if so, considering what the POTUS said to the governors, did he ask Putin for advice on dealing with unrest in his own country. A. He didn't call for advice, he called for his marching orders. And he followed them
25. well. Q. Does POTUS regret using the phrase like when the looting starts the shooting starts. Is he considering apologizing. A. Yes, for not crediting George Wallace. Now let me show you video of black people. We think you'll love it. See Ya.
