President Trump's Thursday morning Twitter storm included a mention of the pledge of allegiance controversy in St. Louis Park.

The Pledge of Allegiance to our great Country, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, is under siege. That is why I am going to win the Great State of Minnesota in the 2020 Election. People are sick and tired of this stupidity and disloyalty to our wonderful USA!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 11, 2019

This is the second time this week the president had posted a comment on the issue, which remains unresolved in the Twin Cities suburb.

St. Louis Park city leaders earlier this week discussed the controversy during a study session that drew a crowd of protesters.

The city council plans to listen to public comment on July 22 concerning their decision to not include the pledge before regular meetings.

A council member said earlier that they decided to not require the pledge to create a more welcoming environment for a diverse community.
