Per audio obtained by @jaketapper, President Trump unloaded during his call with governors and law enforcement. “What happened in the state of Minnesota...They were a laughingstock all over the world...I’ve never seen anything like it, and the whole world was laughing."

CNN article:

"You have to dominate or you'll look like a bunch of jerks, you have to arrest and try people," the President told governors in a call from the basement White House Situation Room.

In the conversation, which also included law enforcement and national security officials, Trump also emphasized it was his belief the violence is being brought on by forces from the "radical left".

"It's a movement, if you don't put it down it will get worse and worse," Trump said. "The only time its successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak."

Trump said the "whole world was laughing at Minneapolis over the police station getting burned," referring to the city where protests began last week after the death of an unarmed black man who was being taken into police custody.
