1/ Trump threatened to deploy “thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers� to end “riots and lawlessness� if states and cities failed to quell the demonstrations sparked by the killing of George Floyd. In a brief Rose Garden speech, Trump declared himself “your president of law and order� and said he would mobilize every available federal force, both “civilian and military,� to “quickly solve the problem� and end the nationwide protests. Trump denounced the violence as “domestic acts of terror� as he ordered governors and mayors to establish “an overwhelming law enforcement presence.� Trump, however, stopped short of invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy active duty U.S. troops to respond to protests in cities across the country. After Trump made the announcement, he left without taking questions from reporters. (New York Times / Politico / Bloomberg / CNBC / CNN / Axios / NBC News / NPR / Wall Street Journal / New York Times
