In-Town Pool Report #5: Trump on Insurrection Act/Newsom

When asked if he would invoke the Insurrection Act, President Trump told your pooler, "if there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We'll see. But I can tell you, last night was terrible. The night before that was terrible."

Asked about what amounts to an insurrection in his estimation, Trump told your pooler, "there were certain areas of Los Angeles" last night that "you could have called it an insurrection. It was terrible."

POTUS says he spoke with Gov. Newsom "a day ago" to tell him to "do a better job."

He notes that the Olympics are coming to LA. Check quotes.

Best,
