TFG said he regrets not 'immediately' sending in the military to quash nationwide unrest last summer
Former President Donald Trump has said he regrets not "immediately" deploying the military into US cities to quash unrest last summer.
"I think if I had it to do again, I would have brought in the military immediately," Trump told Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker in a March interview, according to an excerpt from their new book "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year."
Following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer in late May 2020, calls for racial justice and condemnation of police brutality quickly turned into protests. Though many were peaceful, some others were not. Unrest in the aftermath of Floyd's murder was seen in numerous cities across the country, from Portland to Washington, DC.
On June 1, 2020, Trump threatened to deploy US troops if states did not call up the National Guard to deal with the protests and, at times, rioting, violence, and destruction.
