00:00The president warned that any protests on Saturday would be met with force.
00:06Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump does support or find acceptable?
00:11The president absolutely supports peaceful protests.
00:14He supports the First Amendment.
00:15He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard.
00:18He does not support violence of any kind.
00:21He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job.
00:25It's very clear for the president what he supports and what he does not.
00:28Unfortunately for Democrats that line has not been made clear and they've allowed this unrest and this violence to continue and the president has had to step in.
00:36One question.
00:36So if there were peaceful protests on Saturday for the military parade, President Trump would allow that?
00:41Of course the president supports peaceful protests.
00:43What a stupid question.
00:44Raquel.
