WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump has lashed out at governors, warning they will look like “jerks” if they “don’t dominate” and send protesters to jail.
Speaking on a private conference call, audio of which was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Trump began a conversation with state governors with an extended, angry diatribe.
“You have to dominate,” he told them. “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.”
There were widespread reports of looting and confrontation with the police in cities across the United States.
The white House went dark as fires burned outside its gates.
