WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, amid fury over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in the back, which left the 29-year-old Black man paralyzed.
White House spokesman Judd Deere told reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday that Trump will be meeting with law enforcement officers and “surveying” some of the damage from recent protests that turned destructive.
The visit is certain to exacerbate tensions in the city, where a crowd of about 1,000 demonstrators gathered outside a courthouse Saturday to denounce police violence.

“The visit is certain to exacerbate tensions in the city, where a crowd of about 1,000 demonstrators gathered outside a courthouse Saturday to denounce police violence.”
Funny how our MSM says nothing about the COVID threat when a thousand psychotic lefties gather together in Kenosha, but whine about it when a few hundred Republicans gather on the lawn at the White House to hear the president give his acceptance speech.
Why should it exacerbate tensions? It should calm them. I’d be calmed knowing a leader who doesn’t have his head in his behind is on the scene.
I would like to see President Trump make a direct connection with the removal of corrupt Democrat politicians to criminal justice reforms.
Justice will come when Democrats leave
Protests do not damage buildings, they were riots.
PDJT has a spine of steel and ‘nads of platinum.
Meanwhile bunkered down Biden stares at the basement ceiling and says, “Beige”.
“Jill, I think we need to paint the ceiling beige.”
The only people who will be upset are the out of state rioters. And a few die-hard libtard Kenosha moonbats.
Protesters are like the getaway driver at a bank robbery.
Let us all hope for a riot
“is certain to exacerbate?”
Who is this reporter...the Wizard of Oz?
Who in this world is CERTAIN of anything.
We are getting to know how POTUS works. He doesn’t do anything that will tend to exacerbate. If anything, this will make Kenosha more PEACEFUL.
EXACERBATE, YOUR A$$.
Ms. GloBULL warming, Jill Colvin, writes another piece of FakeNews? what a surprise...not.
dont tell me that AP actually put “potentially stoking tensions” in the headline!???????????????????
those damned commie basturds to try to slant news so grossly
since when does a presidential visit to a disaster zone qualify for “stoking tensions?”
if he did not visit, the AP would say “PDJT doesn’t give a rats ass damn about the people of WIsconsin!”
I’d rather it be widely communicated before hand that the vehicle containing the children that Blake was trying to get into was not his vehicle and the keys were not his keys
Yeah, cause tensions in Kenosha aren’t as high as they could
be right now. LMAO
How does this goofy looking kid get a job like she has.
NO, seriously.
Jill Colvin potentially stoking idiocy.
Editorialized headline.
Just state the facts, AP. He’s going to Kenosha. That’s the story. Not “potential” in order to make a negative.
The Normandy landings stoked tensions with Germany.
