Trump made these remarks during an interview today:

– More white people are killed by police than Black people
– The Confederate flag is a beloved symbol equal to the BLM movement
– A St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters had a right to do so https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/14/trump-racism-confederate-flag-police-361205

Studies show Black people are more likely to die during interactions with police than white people.

In one study: although 52% of deaths by police in 17 states from 2009-2012 were white, Black people had a fatality rate 2.8 times higher than white people https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/14/trump-racism-confederate-flag-police-361205

Trump was also asked about his views on the Confederate flag, which CBS News’ Catherine Herridge pointed out is a painful reminder of slavery for many Americans.

“I know people that like the Confederate flag, and they’re not thinking about slavery,” Trump said
