TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “I was going to speak to the mother [of Jacob Blake, a man shot by police on Aug. 23, 2020] yesterday. I hear she’s a very fine woman. I was going to speak to her. But then I heard there were a lot of lawyers on the phone. I said, ‘I have enough lawyers in my life. I don’t need to get involved with that.’ I spoke with the pastor. The pastor is going to see me in a little while. He is really a terrific guy, if you know him. He’s a terrific guy. So, I look forward to that.
But we’re going to — this is going to heal very quickly. We’re going to help them from an economic standpoint, and we’re going to make a contribution to your law and to what we call ‘law and order.’ Some people think those are two terrible words: law and order. And they’re not terrible at all. They’re beautiful. They have to be used judiciously. They have to be used properly.”
