So he doesn't read and only knows what he's told or sees on Faux News. Has he even heard of "No Kings"?

Trump Refuses To Believe Fox News Reporter Who Tells Him Protests Are Expanding Across the Country: ‘I Don’t Think So’

Before the play, Trump took questions from a throng of reporters outside, where Fox News Correspondent Gillian Turner asked about the demonstrations. Trump responded by telling her he flat-out didn’t believe her:

TURNER: Mr. President, if this turns into another summer of unrest, what are you prepared to do, sir?
TRUMP: About what?
TURNER: If this turns– well, the protests have spread now to 16 cities across the U.S. If this turns–
TRUMP: Well, that’s what you’re saying. Do I believe you? I don’t think so.
TURNER: Well, I got that from the Fox News brain room.
TRUMP: I can tell you, what we have, what we have a situation in Los Angeles that was caused by gross incompetence. They didn’t have the police to handle it.

The president went on to falsely claim the police asked him to deploy the guard.
