Donald Trump on George Floyd
From Gnomon Chronicles
"Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'this is 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 day for everybody. This is a great great day in terms of equality ... It's really what our Constitution requires, and it's what our country is all about."
—President Donald J. Trump

President Donald Trump made certain comments about George Floyd which I find despicable.
Trump on Floyd
During a news conference, Trump said:
Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'this is 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 day for everybody. This is a great great day in terms of equality ... It's really what our Constitution requires, and it's what our country is all about.
Commentary
Naturally Trump didn't surround himself with enlarged photographs of convicted murderer Derek Chauvin using his knee to choke the life from a handcuffed, face-down man who was begging for help because he couldn't breath.
I added those pictures for emotional emphasis.
