Across America, various riots have scourged communities, cities, and innocent lives. As the political left cheers these acts of destruction on or merely writes them off as “peaceful protest,” everyday Americans are left to pick up the pieces.
There are countless business owners who have found themselves caught in the crossfires of individuals who looted, torched, or otherwise destroyed businesses in the alleged quest for social justice. Democrats have not indicated any plans to acknowledge this reality or the toll that such destruction takes on people’s lives and livelihoods.
However, President Trump does understand and empathize with the pain that these Americans are dealing with.
On Monday, the president traveled to Minnesota to meet with business owners who were negatively impacted by weeks upon weeks of riots, according to Breitbart News.
