WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump has fired off a series of tweets belittling the protesters who massed outside the White House and scraped with officers in riot gear.
He also is claiming that many of the Secret Service agents were "just waiting for action" and ready to unleash "the most vicious dogs, and the most ominous weapons, I have ever seen" if the protesters had crossed the White House's security fence.
The protesters who gathered late Friday were angered by Trump's response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
In his Saturday tweets, Trump said the protesters were only out "to cause trouble" and were "professionally managed." He offered no evidence to back his assertions.
