    "President Donald Trump invoked George Floyd's name during a Friday bill signing ceremony touting the latest jobs report, which exceeded economists' expectations.

    "We all saw what happened last week. We can't let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country. (It's) a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody," Trump said during a White House Rose Garden event before signing a piece of legislation devoted to small business loan flexibility."

    A great day for Floyd? Seriously? A great day for Floyd???
    WAKE UP, DONNY! GEORGE FLOYD IS DEAD! HE WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER GREAT DAY AGAIN!

    I do not understand how anyone can admire a man who spouts **** like this. The jobs gain is great (although the unemployment rate has benefited from millions of people dropping out of the job market), but how on earth can he invoke Floyd's name as if he was patting Dirty Donny on the back.

    Trump's remarks are disgraceful. Disgusting. Absolutely reprehensible. And I have no doubt that some people will jump right in and defend him. They will certainly not even hesitate to vote for him again.

    And there it is - in post 3 - someone rushing to Dirty Donny's defence.

    But to answer your point ... that is NOT what PINO did. He did not "paint George Floyd as a person who would be happy for America getting jobs back". Trump said it's a great day FOR HIM. How the day "great" for a man who is dead?

    I suppose if I were dead and people gathered in the name of justice, I could see how someone would call it a good day for me. As long as every platitude that comes out of his mouth/twitter gets a lot of attention, he will keep doing it.

    Incorrect, thats exactly what he did. He was making it a great day for everyone while showing solidarity with a man who was unfairly killed.

    He did a great job.

    TDS Sufferers are pathetic. They'll believe ANYTHING the Fake News media tells them:

    What won't Leftists lie about?

    /THREAD FAIL

    And we've got not one but two of these faceplants working...

    So go on and tell us - in what way was today a “great day” for George Floyd?

    How was it a better day for him than any of the other days that he’s been dead?

    Why don't you go on and tell us how missed this from your own article:

    Not sure what the problem is there.

    George Floyd is dead and nothing is going to change that, but the point, obviously, was hopefully George Floyd is looking down and seeing progress in "equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, color, gender or creed", that this is a great thing for the country and he didn't die in vain.

    Are you catching on yet?

    Perhaps, you would care to explain to us why the LW MSM and its audience linked that to the economy.

    So Trump is looking at his window at the White House and thinks that is a great thing. :)

    Comedians couldn't make the irony any better.

    Wow, you still don't realize you were duped by fake news? It happens , you just gotta check your source.

    My apologies I had assumed you posted it intentionally.

    It’s easy to say “fake news”. It is obviously harder to support that claim.

    Seriously - go through the article I posted. Read every sentence carefully. Please identify any statement that is factually incorrect.

    It was a pretty funny response, I laughed. But I agree I don't think Pres Trump should have phrased it the way he did. I think he should have said:

    I hope George is looking down and thinking to himself "oh great now my name will go down in history as the battle cry for a coast to coast mob of savages who let themselves be manipulated into destroying their own communities because once again the left cant come up with a decent candidate and so they need to invoke a race war to pique voter interest. Thanks guys, thanks for making my name synonymous with looting, rioting, arson, and attacking police." ​

    Trump has a LOT of child-caging, immigrant deporting and war criming to do if he ever wants to be even 10% as sociopathic as Obama.

    Speaking of actions that is.

    It doesn’t matter how low Dirty Donny goes. No matter how reprehensible his words are, his supporters will defend him. It’s disgusting.
