President Trump unloaded on governors in a phone call Monday over how they've responded to protests and riots across the country following the death of George Floyd, calling them "weak" and urging them to "dominate.""Most of you are weak," Trump said.

Trump, on the call with governors, law enforcement and national security officials, also told local leaders they "have to get much tougher" on protesters.

TRUMP ON VIOLENT PROTESTERS: 'WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS AND LONGER TERM JAIL SENTENCES?'The president urged governors to call up the National Guard, crediting them for helping deescalate the situation in Minneapolis.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets to demand justice and police accountability after Floyd died in police custody after authorities say Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck, reportedly for nearly 10 minutes, while three other officers stood by.

"You have to arrest people.""You have to dominate, if you don't dominate you're wasting your time," he said, according to a senior staffer in a governor's office who was listening to the call.
