The 'Law and Order' Message Donald Trump Campaigned on May Not Work in 2020

As protests—sometimes fiery and violent—beset cities across the country, President Donald Trump is turning to a familiar theme, repeatedly calling for "law and order" amid the unrest sparked by the killing of an unarmed black man in Minnesota.

"LAW & ORDER," Trump has not-so-subtly tweeted or retweeted in all capital letters at least six times since Sunday, his first comments after the death of George Floyd, who is seen on video pleading for air as a white officer kneeled on his his neck. Four officers involved have been arrested and charged in Floyd's death.

"I am your president of law and order, and an ally of all peaceful protesters," Trump said Monday during an address from the Rose Garden as protesters were cleared from outside the White House gates.

The message echos one Trump campaigned on four years ago.

Attacking non-violent protesters is not law and order.
