WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump does not have plans to meet with the family of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin when he visits the city on Tuesday but will visit law enforcement officials, the White House said on Monday.

White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said Trump planned to survey the damage resulting from protests in the aftermath of the shooting and meet with business owners, making the trip despite encouragement from state and local leaders to forgo travel there while the city seeks to heal.

Another White House spokesman, Ben Williamson, said in a tweet that Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows had reached out on the president's behalf to Blake's family and left "multiple" messages since last week.

The president has made "law and order" a main theme of his re-election campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

not the people who get shot". Not an actual quote, but you know damned well that's exactly what's floating around his flea-sized brain.

Asshole.
