The New York Times reporting live from the Errorbunker:
Trump tells governors they must crack down on protesters.
President Trump lashed out at America’s governors on Monday, warning that they will look like “jerks” if they don’t order protesters arrested and imprisoned.
Speaking on a private conference call, audio of which was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Trump began the conversation with an extended, angry diatribe.
“You have to dominate,” he told governors on the call. “If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time — they’re going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks.”
The president continued: “You have to arrest people, and you have to try people, and they have to go jail for long periods of time.”
Mr. Trump, who has not addressed the nation since the unrest began, said he was putting Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “in charge,” but did not immediately specify what that meant or if he would deploy the military to quell the violence in the nation’s cities...
He'll be screaming for "Fegelein!" in 3...2...1...

This tone is a weird juxtaposition with the tweet about the dogs and the bulging weapons and well oiled men. He seems to think the police don't know how to respond if somebody throws a brick at them. I watched the footage from a local YouTuber covering the protests Friday night. Phoenix PD was firing tear gas directly at people who approached their line. Plenty of gas canisters and rubber bullets in the street from earlier action. Plus it was over 90 degrees outside despite being 10PM. Is this really the ultimate example of a person whose entire understanding of reality comes from popular fiction? He seems not to express any concern for the safety of all those hard, blue men, but is warning the governors they will "look weak".
Sir, this is an Arby's.
“You have to arrest people, and you have to try people, and they have to go jail for long periods of time.”
Very true, we just disagree about who exactly those people are.
