No, a significant number (maybe even most) of the rioters are white, and he was warning looters not to loot. If anything, he expressed an intention to protect people and property from violent criminals who think they have an excuse.
Literally just addressed this on another post, but these Hate-ons people have for Trump are a fascinating thing.
.
People will discount or twist literally anything the man says or does - regardless of whether he's right - simply because they're not mature enough to accept the fact that people CAN be right about things, regardless of whether you hate them.

Dragging deaf people into tents and trying to rape them; Trying to beat people to death in the streets; pulling a gun on someone driving down the streets and trying to shoot them.... If anyone REALLY thinks this behaviour honors anyone's memory, than I think you need to reconsider whether that person's memory is worth honoring.
.
If that kind of behaviour DOESN'T honor that person's memory, than why argue that it does?
I don't know if this tweet is a continuation of another tweet. But if it IS - guess what? Doesn't matter. The person who made this meme chose not to include that tweet as part of the context. So it doesn't apply.
.
That in mind - there are likely dozens of other tweets Trump's made that would have been far easier to twist to your own agenda, and yet people pick the one that's easily defensible, and CLEARLY not saying what they're implying it does.

I do not bloody well like Trump, so if people could get their shit together and stop causing me to defend the man from their own psychosis, that would be appreciated.
I don't understand this level of insanity. People are so insecure in their own existences and thoughts that they can't even stop for a second and go "you know, I hate that guy, but he has a point."

Agreeing on one thing does not mean you agree on everything.
.
Even that factory of fucked up torture and horror Japan had running in WWII people managed to realize there was value in some of the research they had done. And by value I don't mean they condoned them doing it... I mean they realized that the results of those horrors could be used in the future to help prevent further death and suffering and destruction.
.
But everyone just grabs their pitchforks, draws a line in the sand, and then pretends that that line is the goddamn grand canyon. Can't be crossed, shouldn't be crossed, and anyone in the middle or on the other side should be pushed to their deaths.
He's right about the rioting, but he used a piss poorly chosen quote, that's all. Trump obviously didn't know the meaning behind it, and that's unworthy of a president.
It's a thing I've been saying for years. You loot, I shoot. When the looting starts, the shooting starts. Real shit though, I like the way it rolls off the tongue and especially the rhyme.
one of the few things I agree with him. Yes, looters (different races) are disrespecting his memory, are opportunistic, and tainted the intent of the actual peaceful protests.
