In a dramatic escalation of the country’s national crisis, the President said he has recommended every governor to deploy the National Guard to “dominate the streets” to have an “overwhelming presence” to quell the violence.
After his address, the President walked out of the White House and staged a televised (propaganda) walk to St John’s Church, where thousands of protesters have been gathering.

It comes after Mr Trump lashed out at US governors calling them “weak” and saying they will look like a “bunch of jerks” if they don’t start arresting people.
On a video conference with national security officials and top police he said “most of you are weak”, according to leaked reports of the conversation.
“You’ve got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you’ll never see this stuff again,” he said.
“We’re doing it in Washington, DC. We’re going to do something that people haven’t seen before.”
Mr Trump said the governors were making themselves “look like fools” for not putting more National Guard on the streets.
