"Chaos and widespread outrage erupted Saturday when Trump Border Patrol agents shot a man in Minneapolis as social media video of the incident circulated. Protests erupted immediately, and Trump officials rushed to make outlandish claims about Pretti, the man who was shot even falsely labeling him an assassin and a domestic terrorist. But multiple videos of the shooting refuted those claims. Trump's initial reaction was to lash out and blame Pretti and Democratic leaders in a lengthy social media rant."
"PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Tom Homan, as you know, is in Minnesota now. He's meeting with the governor, and he's meeting with the mayor, I think, later. And I hear that's all going very well. Also I'm going to Iowa. Some of you are coming with me, but I'm going to Iowa. And what can I say? The economy is good. It's all good. Prices are coming way down. And we have a lot of very positive news."
A Minneapolis man, Alex Pretti, was shot by Trump Border Patrol agents, sparking chaos, protests, and widespread outrage as social media video circulated. Trump officials initially labeled Pretti an assassin and a domestic terrorist, claims later contradicted by multiple videos. The president first lashed out and blamed Pretti and Democratic leaders in a lengthy social media rant, then softened his tone and engaged with Minnesota officials. Investigators are preparing to examine the shooting, and the president said he wants a very honorable and honest investigation while expressing sympathy for Pretti's family.
