I have sworn an oath to uphold the laws of our nation and that is exactly what I will do," he added.Police used teargas to disperse crowds of protesters near the White House ahead of Trump's speech in the Rose Garden."But we cannot allow the righteous cries of peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob. The biggest victims of the rioting are peace-loving citizens in our poorest communities. And as their President, I will fight to keep them safe. I will fight to protect you.Trump continued: "I am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters. but in recent days, our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists, violent mobs, arsonists, looters, criminals, rioters, Antifa and others."Trump further said that he can not allow the righteous cry and peaceful protesters to be drawn out by an angry mob.The US President earlier termed the ongoing violent protests on America's streets as unacceptable and said that any form of anarchy and lawlessness will not be tolerated, according to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany."The President has made clear that what we are seeing on America's streets is unacceptable.
