President Donald Trump blamed "weak leadership" in Washington for the outbreak of rioting and looting in Ferguson, Missouri, six years ago.Trump, now faced with escalating protests in Minneapolis, was repeatedly critical of the Obama administration's handling of the Ferguson riots in August 2014 which were in response to the police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. At the time, Trump said other countries were laughing at the government's handling of the unrest.

"Our country is totally fractured and, with our weak leadership in Washington, you can expect Ferguson type riots and looting in other places," Trump tweeted on November 25, 2014.

Six years ago you predicted your own 'Residency. You predicted that you would be a weak man, turn the US into a "shithole country" where all the world leaders would be laughing at you right now if they didn't know that in fact, you are the biggest threat to the entire world.
I only need to change two words in your quote from 2014:
"Our country is totally fractured and, with my weak leadership in Washington, you can expect these type riots and looting in other places," Trump tweeted on November 25, 2014.
Fixed it for you.
