Opening remarks about the stock market and the "China virus" by @POTUS in the @WhiteHouse briefing room.

"We've arrested a large number of people -- it's over 200" in various "Democrat-run" cities in the US, says @POTUS.

Joint investigation being conducted by @DHSgov and @TheJusticeDept into "violent left-wing civil unrest" in "Democrat-run cities," adds @POTUS.

"I don't know if they're spurring it on or they're afraid to stop it," says @POTUS of @TheDemocrats.

"The violent rioters share Biden's talking points," says @POTUS, adding @JoeBiden gave "a strange speech" today, blaming law enforcement and "he didn't talk about those on the left" who are the problem.

For months, @JoeBiden has given "moral aid and comfort" to the anarchistic rioters, according to @POTUS.

"There's just a war on law enforcement in this country," claims @POTUS. "Every city in this country could be another Portland or another Chicago."

"They want to destroy our country. They're going to destroy our suburbs," says @POTUS of @TheDemocrats, blaming "left-wing indoctrination" in the schools.

"They took the word 'God' our of the Pledge of Allegiance" at #DNC2020, claims @POTUS.

"Biden's strategy is to surrender to the left-wing mob," adds @POTUS. "I don't even think he knows what he's doing."

"If the mob rules democracy is indeed dead," declares @POTUS.

"We need order. You can't have cities like these cities are run," adds @POTUS, saying he could "go a much tougher route" if federal law enforcement are not invited in.

Not meeting with any #JacobBlake family members because they wanted to have a lawyer involved, replies @POTUS to question about his trip tomorrow to Kenosha, Wisconsin.

On Kyle Rittenhouse: "I guess he was in very big trouble" when he fired on protesters, says @POTUS.

After 27 minutes, @POTUS departs the room after telling @CNN reporter "your protestors" shot someone.
