on Tuesday to a city divided over his visit, with small crowds of pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators gathering in a downtown shaken by a police shooting that last week left a Black man paralyzed and led to two fatal shootings in which an armed white teen has been charged.
Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews before stepping aboard Air Force One that Kenosha “would have been burned to the ground by now” if not for the intervention of the National Guard. “It all stopped immediately upon the National Guard’s arrival.” Then he attacked Democratic Mayor John Antaramian, referencing a protest outside his house that Trump had watched on television.
The Wisconsin National Guard has been in the city for more than a week at the request of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, and federal law enforcement and National Guard troops from several other states joined later last week. Small groups of pro- and anti-Trump protesters gathered on downtown Kenosha’s lakefront near boarded-up businesses painted with hearts and peace signs.As people drank coffee at picnic tables outside Harborside Common Grounds, protesters jeered at each other. Sometimes drivers, joggers and bicyclists joined in, beeping and shouting encouragement or epithets.Ken Miller, 53, a local machinist, helped other Trump supporters hold up a U.S. flag behind a Trump/Pence campaign sign.
