Scenes From President Donald Trump's Visit To Kenosha Tuesday

KENOSHA, WI — President Donald Trump traveled via presidential motorcade into the heart of Kenosha Tuesday, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake and the deaths of two protesters in a separate shooting incident days later.

Trump traveled into Kenosha along streets lined with a mix of supporters and detractors Tuesday. Supporters waving "Blue Lives Matter" flags were intermixed with those sporting American Flags, Joe Biden campaign signs and Black Lives Matter signs.

During a press conference held on the tarmac in Waukegan, Illinois, Trump said he saw people trying to break into the Kenosha mayor’s house when watching coverage: “Very stupid mayor. I don’t see how he can be mayor," Trump said "He still sticks up for them. Only a fool would stick up for them.”

Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian refuted Trump's claim that burglars were trying to break into his house.

When a reporter asked whether his visit would help racial tensions: “I think it’s helping because I’m about law and order."

Trump confirmed with reporters he did not meet with Jacob Blake's family but did talk with the family pastor. But Blake's father, Jacob Blake Sr., has told CNN that the family does not have a pastor and that he does not know who Trump spoke with.

Later, Trump visited the Danish Brotherhood building in Kenosha's Uptown District.

"So, this store was here 109 years. Just about the oldest in the nation, doing what you do," Trump said of the two-story building that lay in ruin. "And we're going to help them a lot. I think we're going to help them a lot."

"We're going to have some meetings. We're going to meet with some of the owners, and then we're going to have a roundtable. I think you're going to be there," Trump said as he saw the damage for himself Tuesday. "But we're going to work with you. We're going to help you. Okay? We'll help you rebuild. It's a great area. It's a great state. This should never happen. A thing like this should never happen."

Later, Trump traveled to Bradford High School to see the Emergency Command Center. Rep. Bryan Steil, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, and Sen. Ron Johnson toured the center with Trump. The center was full of local law enforcement officials and National Guard members, according to an AP pool report.

When asked if he had a message for Blake family he said he will speak to Jacob’s family pastor later. Trump said he wanted to talk to Blake's mother later but: “It’s also better off if it’s handled locally."
