After Trump departs, Mnuchin makes a point to note that he and Larry Kudlow aren't wearing masks only because they were tested for coronavirus this morning. He said he was pleased to see the press corps wearing masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Day after his press sec called the record coronavirus numbers "embers" of the pandemic, Trump touts small businesses reopening: "Especially as we put the flame out. Getting rid of the flame. It's happening." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump touts jobs numbers and again reveals how much he relies on cable news for validation: "I was watching this morning and the expectations were much lower." — PolitiTweet.org

The language is so calculated. McEnany describes the protesters broadly as "anarchists" and defends Trump calling BLM a symbol of "hate." But she refers to "embers" of coronavirus flaring up after question on Fauci saying U.S. could be headed for 100,000 new cases a day. — PolitiTweet.org

Press sec opens WH briefing with another lengthy prepared statement focused not on the coronavirus pandemic but painting U.S. cities as under siege from protesters: "Law and order has prevailed and Seattle has been liberated from the anarchists." — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Merritt said if Trump doesn’t push for broader reforms the WH would “be exposed for being hypocritical and being liars and taking advantage of those most affected by police brutality... That would be more politically dangerous than he knows.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump met w/families of black victims ahead of his police reform action. @MeritLaw told me Potus was attentive but none accepted invite to attend signing ceremony. Most didn’t watch it. One mother who chose not to meet Trump reacted angrily on Facebook after he mentioned her son. — PolitiTweet.org

When I asked WH aides why Trump didn’t mention support for peaceful protesters or empathy for victims in a Fox News town hall yesterday while denouncing vandals as “terrorists,” they said he had on multiple occasions. The most recent example in a list they provided was June 5. — PolitiTweet.org

David Nakamura @DavidNakamura

NEW: Since signing a modest action on police reform on June 16, Trump has shifted almost exclusively to “law-and-order” rhetoric — while dropping almost any pretense of personally addressing the widespread public anger over police brutality. w/@phscoop https://t.co/7bGqEgZ6lF — PolitiTweet.org
