“Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, ‘There’s a great thing that’s happening for our country.’ This is a great day for him, it’s a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality. Nobody’s ever done for the black community what President Trump has done.”
—Donald Trump, invoking George Floyd’s name in a Rose Garden celebration of a May unemployment report that showed “only” 21 million people — 13.3 percent of the workforce — out of work. [Words fail me.]
“How would a better economy have protected George Floyd?”
–NBC’s Peter Alexander. [Trump didn’t answer.]
President Trump is the living definition of insensitive. If nothing he has done or said before proves it, this certainly does. WAKE UP, America (some 40% of you) and Congress.
Need more proof? Look at this brilliant tweet:
Donald J. Trump

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
Just for the record….not that Trump pays the least bit of attention to official records….Blacks in America did not benefit from the “great economic comeback”….just for the record….however, we can depend on Trump supporters to believe Trump’s lies….especially since this lie didn’t affect most of them….its OK?
The Republican party is dead. It lives in name only. It should be called the Fringe party. Made up of the hard core 33%. Trump is not the leader of the party. His is the drum major. The Fringe party supporters already think and believe the way they do, long before Trump came along. Bunker Boy is really only voicing their already held hard core beliefs. He is an actor in the Fringe party movie, playing the starring role. The way he talks and behaves is only a reflection of his supporter’s views. In the Fringe party there really is no difference between Trump and the supporters. They are one and the same. His is the mouth of the beast.
However, that “Fringe Party” is in control of essentially all of the top branches of our country’s government.
I cannot express myself more concisely than this WaPo headline today:
“Trump’s soulless nature has done the nation incalculable harm”
in this column by Kellyanne’s husband:

The greatest Con Job ever perpetuated upon a Republic…Donald Trump, President.
Not sure when you stopped doing actually journalism and became a pawn for the crazies.

Sir (whoever you are; you didn’t use your name), I must say I deeply resent being labeled a pawn for Trump.
