Summary

Trump denies that systemic racism exists in the United States and says that that are just "some bad apples" who choke "under tremendous pressure." Trump repeats conspiracy theory, without evidence, about a plane filled with "looters" and "thugs." Trump admits that he only wants to talk about "tremendous violence," not peaceful protesters or systemic racism. Trump was asked about the Jacob Blake shooting that happened in Kenosha and he says that he feels, "terribly for anybody that goes through that." Trump travels to Kenosha and doesn't meet Jacob Blake's family. Trump condemns "dangerous anti-police rhetoric" but refuses to condemn the teen supporter accused of killing two people. The NIH says that there is not enough evidence to back convalescent plasma to treat covid. Trump touted it as a "historic breakthrough."
