President Trump plans to publicly address policing reform while meeting with law enforcement and African American faith leaders in Dallas on Thursday, a senior administration official says.
Among the legislative ideas being discussed: banning chokeholds, creating a national registry for police officers engaged in misconduct, and curbing no-knock warrants.
As protests spread across the country last week, Trump was mostly silent on the underlying issues driving them, focusing instead on using law enforcement and the military to control the unrest surrounding some demonstrations. When a reporter asked last week what his plan was to address systemic racism, he said it was ”the strongest economy in the world.”
A campaign adviser called the tweet “not helpful” and an “unforced error. McEnany defended the tweet, saying Trump"was asking questions about an interaction in a video clip he saw, and the president has the right to ask those questions." "The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations," Trump said in a series of tweets, which McEnany handed out to reporters as printout, saying the president had"spent a good bit of time working on that.
