Donald Trump takes a dig at Minneapolis Mayor

US President Donald Trump welcomed the call for the National Guard in Minneapolis by saying that it would do the job that “Democrat Mayor couldn’t do”. Giving a political spin to the anger and grief of thousands of Americans after the death of the 46-year-old in the city, Trump said that the National Guard should have been deployed a couple of days ago to avoid the damage of police headquarters by the violent demonstrations. He also hailed the National Guard for doing “great job” and ‘playing no games’.

Trump said, "The National Guard has been released in Minneapolis to do the job that the Democrat Mayor couldn’t do. Should have been used 2 days ago & there would not have been damage & Police Headquarters would not have been taken over & ruined. Great job by the National Guard. No games."
