Trump reportedly dismissed protesters by saying they "aren't his voters."
https://twitter.com/pbump/status/1271788039128387584Trumps reluctance so far to come down on one side or to strike a clear balance between the opposing sets of advice has frustrated his allies and shaded, if not slowed, his response to nationwide protests arising since the death of George Floyd.
These arent my voters, the president has said repeatedly, dismissing protesters in discussions with aides about how to respond over nearly three weeks of unrest, according to three people familiar with the comments.
The presidents approach to whats widely seen as a seminal moment for the country reflects his ambivalence about being anything other than a self-styled president of law and order and his stubborn adherence to tactics he believes have served him well politically, advisers inside and outside the White House say.

Band-Aid says the new line will feature a range of tones from beige to dark brown. The company did not say when they will be in stores.

When Melania Trump stayed behind in New York after her husbands presidential inauguration, she said it was because she didnt want to interrupt their then-10-year-old son Barrons school year. News stories at the time concentrated on an apparent frostiness between the first couple and the exorbitant taxpayer costs to protect Melania and Barron away from Washington.
Those stories are true, but Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan reveals in a new book that the first lady was also using her delayed arrival to the White House as leverage for renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with President Trump.
The campaign had been full of harsh news about Trumps alleged sexual indiscretions and infidelities, from the grab them by the p---y Access Hollywood tape to an affair with Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal; Melania learned new details from the media coverage, Jordan writes.
The incoming first lady needed time to cool off, and to amend her financial arrangement with Trump what Melania referred to as taking care of Barron, Jordan writes in The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump.
