President Donald Trump called companies supporting the Black Lives Matter movement “weak” and said they’re led by “weak people.”

Since George Floyd’s death in the custody of Minneapolis police in May, many major corporations have moved swiftly to embrace Black Lives Matter and the racial equity principles it represents. Trump made clear on Monday in an interview on Fox News that he doesn’t support the movement.
