Mr. Pritzker was not the only governor to express unease. In an illustration of this precarious moment, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine, a Democrat, told the president that his planned trip to her state this week may provoke more unrest. “I’m very concerned your presence may cause security problems for our state,” she said.

The president responded, “we’ll look into that,” before firing back that he expected “a tremendous crowd of people showing up.”

“They like their president,” Mr. Trump said.
