She asked Trump about the protests that had been sparked by the death of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, framing the question as "it's more dangerous to be a police officer today, do you not think, than it has been a long time?"
The president agreed with the question's premise, telling Ingraham that police "are under siege," adding: "They can do 10,000 great acts, which is what they do, and one bad apple or a choker—a joker—they choke."
Ingraham jumped in to say "you mean they panic," before Trump continued: "Shooting the guy in the back many times. I mean, couldn't you have done something different? Couldn't you have wrestled him?"
The president went on: "You know, I mean, in the meantime, he might've been going for a weapon. And you know there's a whole big thing there. But they choke, just like in a golf tournament, they miss a three-foot putt."
Ingraham interrupted the president: "You're not comparing it to golf, because of course, that's what the media would say...people panic."
Trump did not reject the comparison, but continued: "I'm saying people choke and people are bad people."
