President Donald Trump on Monday portrayed the gunman charged with murdering two protesters in Kenosha, Wis., as a victim, suggesting that the Illinois teenager was acting in self-defense
.
“That was an interesting situation,” the president said. “He was trying to get away from them, I guess it looks like, and he fell and then they very violently attacked him, and it was something that we are looking at right now and it’s under investigation. But I guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would’ve been killed. It’s under investigation.”
Trump plans to travel to Kenosha on Tuesday as protests continue to grip the city for a second week. State and local officials have urged Trump not to visit, fearing the president’s presence would disrupt an already-tense city.
