The event happened over a month ago.

On July 31, 2020, Trump met with the leadership of the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO). Footage from the event showed Trump blasting protesters who had supposedly weaponized cans and bags of soup against the police. Trump added that protesters who were caught and questioned by law enforcement would claim innocence and pretend that the soup cans were actually food for their families.
