President Trump will be in Kenosha, Wisconsin this week, marking his first trip to the city after Jacob Blake was shot multiple times by police. Over the weekend, Trump doubled down on his "Law and order" message as violence got out of control in multiple cities, including a deadly shooting in Portland, Oregon, where supporters of the president and counter-protesters clashed on the streets Saturday. Portland's mayor accused Trump of cranking up tension among citizens, leading to the deadly encounter.
Trump's visit to Kenosha will be the latest on his campaign trail, and it happens despite pleas from the governor of Wisconsin and mayor of Kenosha to stay away from the city. The president is not scheduled to visit with the family of Blake, who is paralyzed after being shot seven times in the back. While the circumstances are under investigation, Blake's shooting was the latest incident in a summer full of protests against racial injustice and police brutality.
