    I'm in touch with someone who's on the governors' call with President Trump right now. They and others listening in are alarmed. The president is urging governors to take back the streets, not be "weak," and use force as the nation faces growing racial unrest.

        More: President Trump just berated governors and mayors for how they are handling the protests, calling them "fools," per person on the call.

        Aides to governors say the president continues to talk. One describes it as a "rant." Says he keeps talking about the need to "dominate" the protests.

        President Trump is now encouraging the nation's governors, repeatedly, to use the military to deal with protests, per a person on the call. Moments ago.

        The utter lack of Trump’s ability to lead continues to be tragically shocking — and deadly. Look @JoeBiden and you see a leader, leading.

        He has NO moral authority. No Governor should listen to him. We don't want what Trump is selling.

        No legal authority also. What the President is suggesting is a very serious crime.
