In a teleconference call with governors and mayors on Monday amid escalating protests throughout the United States, President Donald Trump ranted against their weak leadership and urged officials to ramp up arrests, according to audio obtained by CNN.
The president also said of New York City protests, They took over the police department. Police were running down with sirens and they I have never seen anything like it, and the whole world was laughing
. All of a sudden, and I said you got to use the National Guard. And they did.
Trump also said, I live in Manhattan. Whats going on in Manhattan?
. I dont whats going on in Manhattan, but its terrible, it is terrible
. Because its Manhattan, it gets a lot of press.
According to Jim Roberts, one participant on the call described Trumps words as unhinged.
