Mr Trump claimed, “We’re awaiting due process. We’re not jumping to a final thought … If I put myself in Kyle Rittenhouse’s footwear, possibly I shouldn’t have existed. He’s a young youngster. I don’t desire young kids running around the roads with AR-15s … Maybe I would not have placed myself in that circumstance– who knows? Most of us do dumb points at 17.”
Ms Lindsay countered: “It’s a little past dumb.”
” Really foolish– fine. But most of us have to allow due procedure play out and allow due process take its program,” stated Mr Trump.
