Trump Says George Floyd Is Proud Of His Accomplishments!

Trump used George Floyd as a prop in touting his crappy economy.
As he touts the unemployment rate, Donald J. Trump inserted George Floyd into the conversation.

This morning, many economists were shocked to hear that the unemployment rate dropped from 14.7% to 13.3% for the month of May. They believe that the rate would reach 20%.

Trump in his usual grandeur calls the skeptics a bunch of losers and says that country is coming back.

Trump didn't practice in social distancing while he was doing his presser. Yet, he has the audacity to bring up George Floyd's death as an op to win over Black votes.

"Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'This is a great thing happening for our country,'" Trump said. "A great day for him, a great day for everybody. This is great day for everybody."



As of right now, unemployment for white Americans (non-Hispanic) is 12.4 percent. Hispanics (non-white) is 17.6 percent and African Americans is 16.8 percent.



The whole Barack Obama economy is erased in less than three years of Trump's presidency.

The unemployment claims have dropped now that states are easing up on restrictions. However, the coronavirus is still here and the possibility of a second wave is coming. Folks protesting police violence are not practicing social distancing.

The hydroxychloroquine pill that Trump touted is not safe. The American doctors have concluded that Trump's use of the pill isn't going to save you from infection.

Trump put his finger to his lips, in a motion to shush the reporter, Yamiche Alcindor of PBS, who is African American.

"I'd like to sign this bill," Trump said. "By the way, what's happened to our country and what you now see, it’s been happening, is the greatest thing that can happen for race relations, for the African American community, the Asian American, the Hispanic American, for women, for everything."

"What's your plan?" Alcindor asked.

"Our country is so strong, and that's my plan," Trump said, "We're going to have the strongest economy in the world."

As he sought to silence further questions, Alcindor tried again.

"Black unemployment went up by .1%. Asian American unemployment went up .5%. How is that a victory?" she asked.

"You are something," Trump said to her.
Sharpton blasted Trump and Republicans for using George Floyd as a prop.
Unrest continues in the United States. George Floyd's memorial service in Minneapolis was very emotional. Rev. Al Sharpton delivered passionate remarks about Floyd's death at the hands of police.

Yesterday, Sharpton said that Trump should not use George's death as a prop.

"George Floyd’s story has been the story of black folks because ever since 401 years ago, the reason we could never be who we wanted and dreamed to being is you kept your knee on our neck," Sharpton said.

"Some of y'all don’t want peace, you just want quiet. You just want us to shut up and suffer in silence. The overwhelming majority of the people marching wasn't breaking windows, they were trying to break barriers. They weren't trying to steal nothing, they were trying to get back the justice you stole from us. Those that broke the law should pay for whatever law they broke, but so should the four policemen that caused this funeral today. We don't have a problem denouncing violence, Mr. Governor (Tim Walz), we don't have a problem, Mr. Mayor (Jacob Frey), denouncing looting, but it seems like some in the criminal justice system have a problem looking at a tape and knowing there's probable cause and it takes a long time for you to go and do what you see that you need to do."

Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Martin Luther King III and Benjamin Crump are organizing another March on Washington in August.
