President Donald Trump will travel Tuesday to Kenosha, Wisconsin – the latest flashpoint in violent protests after the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Democrats say Trump is taking advantage of the turmoil to rally supporters around his law-and-order campaign message. However,White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president wants to highlight the federal response to the unrest and to visit « hurting Americans. » But in a letter to the president, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said, « I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. » McEnany said Trump is expected to review property damage but he has no plans to meet with Blake, a 29-year-old Black father who was left paralyzed from the waist down, or his family. A tell-all book, « Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady, » by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff about former best friend and first lady Melania Trump is set to be released Tuesday. The memoir, published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, will cover the origins of Wolkoff and the first lady’s friendship in New York City, detail the event planner’s work planning the presidential inauguration and address Wolkoff’s hasty exit from her senior advisor role to the first lady in February 2018, according to the publisher’s description.
