"What do you think they [protesters] want?" Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. "What do you think they need, right now, from you?"
Here was Trump's answer, verbatim:
"Protesters for different reasons. You're protesting also because, you know, they just didn't know. I've watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren't able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.
"But a lot of them really were there because they're following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we've seen it over the years. We haven't, you know, this was one horrible example, but you've seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I've seen it, too. I've seen it before I was president. I've seen it. I think it's a shame. I think it's a disgrace. And it's got to stop."

And what are you doing to ensure dems don’t fuck it up again if we have an election in 2028?
I screamed at my senator twice in 4 days about the economy and the angry mob of hungry people that are going to form this summer when everyone realizes the local economy has been destroyed.
How did your senator respond?
On friday, they said "oh i did a long speech in the senate dissenting tariffs" On wensday I just got the voicemail and left a long winded rant about what stock manipulation is.
Standing out in front of the state house with a little sign of the Jan 6 Gallows, reminding people of their civic dutys, and the violation of constitutional oaths. Reminding people that MAGA was willing to hang one of their own to steal a fair election. Spent 4 years crying about the stolen election. Won an election and implemented a dictatorship that crashed the economy. I'm just here recording history and spreading the truth.
