CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/PROTESTS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: [Reporter: “If there were groups of people planning to protest tomorrow against the government shutdown, what would be your advice?”] “People feel that way. You’re allowed to protest. I mean, they feel that way. I watched a protest and they were all six feet apart. I mean, it was a very orderly group of people. Some governors have gone too far. Some of the things that happened are maybe not so appropriate…

As far as protesters — you know, I see protesters for all sorts of things. And I’m with everybody. I’m with everybody.”
