President Trump still plans to visit Kenosha this week despite Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ letter urging him to call off his trip amid concerns his presence “will only hinder our healing” after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the White House said.

“The White House has been humbled by the outreach of individuals from Kenosha who have welcomed the President’s visit and are longing for leadership to support local law enforcement and businesses that have been vandalized,” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement late Sunday, CNN reported.

“President Trump looks forward to visiting on Tuesday and helping this great city heal and rebuild,” he added.

Earlier Sunday, Evers portrayed Kenosha — where Blake, 29, was shot seven times by a cop on Aug. 23 — as a divided community that’s already on the mend.

“I, along with other community leaders who have reached out, are concerned about what your presence will mean for Kenosha and our state,” Evers wrote in his letter.

“I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together.”

The governor added: “It is our job as elected officials to lead by example and to be a calming presence for the people we know are hurting, mourning, and trying to cope with trauma. Now is not the time for divisiveness.”

The family’s lawyer, Benjamin Crump, has said the Blake family hasn’t been contacted by Trump’s team, but he suggested they might be willing to meet with the president.
