After a night of largely peaceful protests around the country with some brief clashes near the White House, Trump has tweeted or retweeted 40 times since 5:52 a.m. He said he's "done much more for our Black population" than 2020 rival Joe Biden or "any President in U.S. history, with the possible exception" of Abraham Lincoln, trained his ire at the media, promoted baseless conspiracy theories about his predecessor, called for "LAW AND ORDER!" and congratulated Randy Feenstra, who bested Iowa Rep. Steve King in Tuesday's primary.
Later Wednesday, Trump participated in interviews with friendly outlets. He called into Brian Kilmeade's Fox News Radio program and is set to be interviewed by former White House press secretary Sean Spicer for Newsmax.
The President continued to ignore calls for him to calm racial tension and instead claimed the reason he was moved to a bunker on Friday night amid violent protests was for an "inspection" rather than safety concerns. He defended his baseless attacks accusing a former US congressman of murder of an aide, despite pleas from the aide's widower for him to stop.
