US President Donald Trump has branded the Democratic mayor of Kenosha "a fool", accusing him of standing up for "radical anarchists".
Speaking en route to the city, Mr Trump said Kenosha would have been burnt to the ground by protesters were it not for the National Guard he deployed.
The Wisconsin city saw days of violence after Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot in the back by police.
Local leaders have asked the president to stay away.
But Mr Trump has ignored their pleas as he pushed a strong "law and order" message ahead of November's election.
Although Mr Trump claimed he sent the National Guard into Kenosha, they were actually deployed by Wisconsin's governor.
