........... Q Mr. President, (inaudible) Jacob Blake? And do you believe the shooting was justified?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we have the pastor here, who’s tremendous. He’s a tremendous gentleman. I’m going to meet him in a little while. He represents the family. And I think it’s probably better off if that’s handled locally right now. It’s under investigation, as you know. So I think it’s much better. I actually suggested we handle it locally.

I was going to speak to the mother yesterday. I hear she’s a very fine woman. I was going to speak to her. But then I heard there were a lot of lawyers on the phone. I said, “I have enough lawyers in my life. I don’t need to get involved with that.” I spoke with the pastor. The pastor is going to see me in a little while. He is really a terrific guy, if you know him. He’s a terrific guy. So, I look forward to that.

But we’re going to — this is going to heal very quickly. We’re going to help them from an economic standpoint, and we’re going to make a contribution to your law and to what we call “law and order.” Some people think those are two terrible words: law and order. And they’re not terrible at all. They’re beautiful. They have to be used judiciously. They have to be used properly. ............................

The owner of an old Kenosha camera shop refused to pose with Trump, saying Trump was using him and his shop for political gain. So Trump had the former owner of the shop pretend to be the current owner for a photo op.
