Trump urges U.S. governors to take harder line on protests -reports

President Donald Trump criticized U.S. governors' response to nationwide protests in a call on Monday, telling state leaders they should take a tougher stance and that their current response makes them look weak, according to media reports.

"You have to dominate if you don't dominate you're wasting your time. They're going to run over you, you're going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate," Trump said, according to CBS News, which cited audio of the call it had obtained.
