NEW: President Trump has dismissed advice from his allies urging him to tone down his rhetoric and held back so far on a formal address to the nation as cities across the US see another night of protests. Reporting by spettypi, albamonica, kwelkernbc.
There is broad agreement among Trump’s allies and closest aides that his current, largely incendiary messaging on protesters could backfire politically and also potentially further fuel the turmoil, these people said.
In remarks following a visit to view the SpaceX rocket launch in Florida Saturday, Trump said the death of Floyd had “filled Americans all over the country with horror, anger, and grief." Still, Trump has carried on an appearance of business as usual. With cities still smoldering, Trump returned to Florida Saturday afternoon to watch the country’s first commercially manned rocket launch, an event the White House planned to use to tout American innovation and the economy. When asked by reporters if he considered calling off the trip, Trump said he felt he had an obligation to be there.
But while Trump has been heavily criticized over his response, the demonstrations provide him the type of culture war distraction he had been seeking to take the focus away from his administration’s response the coronavirus, which killed more than 100,000 people this week and has resulted in one in four Americans filing for unemployment, said one outside adviser.
