Trump arrives in Kenosha today 01/09/2020 to praise police after wave of violence, says 'We’re going to get it straightened out'

President Donald Trump arrived in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday to survey damage from a week of violent protests  over the police shooting of an unarmed Black man – a trip some officials say may further stoke demonstrations.

Trump told reporters he was traveling to Wisconsin to meet members of law enforcement and the National Guard who "put out the flame immediately." 

“It’s just been a great state — great people and we’re going to get it straightened out,” Trump told reporters after deplaning Air Force One in Waukegan, Illinois, before traveling to nearby Kenosha. 

“Violence has stopped since the time the National Guard came — literally when they set their foot on this location it stopped,” Trump said. National Guard troops were in Kenosha starting last Monday, the day before Tuesday's deadly shooting of two protesters.

The president toured the damage caused by the civil unrest that erupted following the  shooting of Jacob Blake – a Black Kenosha man who was shot by a white police officer. Trump, joined by Attorney General William Barr and acting Homeland Security Chief Chad Wolf,will also visit an emergency operations center and participate in a roundtable on safety.

Trump's visit comes as the family of Blake, faith leaders from 50 organizations, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, are scheduled to hold their own event at the site where Blake was shot seven times in the back by a city police officer on Aug. 23. The 29-year-old father was paralyzed from the shooting and remains at a hospital. 

The president told reporters he is not meeting with the family because they requested their lawyers be involved, which Trump said was "inappropriate." Local residents opposed to Trump plan to gather at the county courthouse in Kenosha to protest the president's visit.

  Money as a Medium of Exchange: Before the development of a medium of exchange  that is, money—people would barter to obtain the goods and services they needed. Two individuals, each possessing some goods the other wanted, would enter into an agreement to trade. Early forms of bartering, however, do not provide the transferability and divisibility that makes trading efficient. For instance, if someone has cows but needs bananas, they must find someone who not only has bananas but also the desire for meat. What if that individual finds someone who has the need for meat but no bananas and can only offer potatoes? To get meat, that person must find someone who has bananas and wants potatoes, and so on. The lack of transferability of bartering for goods is tiring, confusing, and inefficient. But that is not where the problems end; even if the person finds someone with whom to trade meat for bananas, they may not consider a bunch of bananas to be worth a whole cow. Such a trade requires co

How Is Money Measured? But exactly how much money is out there, and what forms does it take? Economists and investors ask this question to determine whether there is inflation or deflation. Money is separated into three categories so that it is more discernible for measurement purposes: M1  – This category of money includes all physical denominations of coins and currency; demand deposits, which are checking accounts and NOW accounts; and travelers' checks. This category of money is the narrowest of the three, and is essentially the money used to buy things and make payments (see the "active money" section below). M2  – With broader criteria, this category adds all the money found in M1 to all time-related deposits, savings accounts deposits, and non-institutional money market funds. This category represents money that can be readily transferred into cash. M3  – The broadest class of money, M3 combines all money found in the M2 definition and adds to it all large time dep
