“Equal justice under the law must mean every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, color, gender or creed. They have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement.”
The president then appeared to veer from his prepared remarks, saying, “We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. 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 everbody. This is a great day for everybody. This a great, great day in terms of equality.”

The words of this truly evil, manipulative and callous man to a wash of poorly educated people who lap up his utter crap should be spread far and wide around the world and we should urge our governments to speak out loudly against this racist, ignorant man. People may have thought is presidency funny or somewhat amusing but he has gone too time and again and now he crosses a line.

This deliberate ignorance and nastiness is used to provoke us further, so he can send in the army within his country and urge more incidents of prejudice here in the U.K.

I'm sure George Floyd would rather not be 'looking down' at all - let alone thinking being murdered as a 'great, great thing' for his country. Vile.

StealthPolarBear · 05/06/2020 18:08

Oh yes a great day for George.

AnyFucker · 05/06/2020 18:10

The world at large needs to just stop ruefully shaking their head at this man's idiocy and do something

ilovesooty · 05/06/2020 18:10

The newsreader on BBC just now struggled to hide her disgust. How can anyone feel anything but disgusted?

SimonJT · 05/06/2020 18:11

He is an actual cunt.

He is a racist, sexist, homophobic, rapist pig.

StealthPolarBear · 05/06/2020 18:12

Any fucker. He'll get away with it as he's got away with all the other awful things he's said and done. He's untouchable as far as I can see.

Thighmageddon · 05/06/2020 18:12

I just read this on Sky and I am dumbfounded that anyone can even think this is an acceptable thing to say.

Smallsteps88 · 05/06/2020 18:12

I don’t know why anyone expects anything even close to resembling human decency from trump. Even prior to his very obvious dementia he was unfamiliar with the concept of tact or respect. How are these words surprising to anyone?

AnyFucker · 05/06/2020 18:12

Yes, I saw that newsreader. She didn't bother to hide her contempt.

namesnames · 05/06/2020 18:13

Jesus, I'm speechless. I just wish he was too.

Standupthisisnotateaparty · 05/06/2020 18:14

There was a thread earlier that said can Trump sink any lower. The answer is yes he can sink to the lowest depths scientifically possible then he would get out a shovel and dig some more so he can sink lower. Kids will be reading about him in a 100 years as Americas greatest shame.

BlackBucketOfCheese · 05/06/2020 18:14

All that African Americans can hope for now is revolution.

@SimonJT - perfectly put as always, sir.

Ritascornershop · 05/06/2020 18:16

Racism and general Trump insanity aside, it’s also a not entirely uncommon way of thinking in North America, that if you trumpet how wonderful everything is it will magically be so. Not that he’s thinking that, but it’s what he’s selling.

Cagedbirdsinging · 05/06/2020 18:21

@SimonJT. I agree absolutely with your sentiment but please , please do not use the word 'cunt' to describe him .

Comefromaway · 05/06/2020 18:23

He is turning the US into a fascist dictatorship.

DuncinToffee · 05/06/2020 18:23

Saw this on twitter

Today is not a great day for George Floyd
He's dead

Seriously, has the time not come for his doctors to take whatever action is needed to get him declared medically unfit? It is clearer and clearer that he is, quite literally, demented.

Whoever wants him in power clearly has more of a say than his doctors.
Samtsirch · 05/06/2020 18:33

Yes I was completely shocked when I heard this, I couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing.
It made me angry and so so sad, that he could say something so crass and awful.

SnickettyLemon · 05/06/2020 18:35

Yes. You are definitely being unreasonable in sharing anything that that idiot says !

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 05/06/2020 18:39

He also said, "The economy will recover very soon. I've been saying that for a long time...."

Batshittery · 05/06/2020 18:42

He is an utter arse hole. Sadly, the racist red necks who voted him in will love it. It is truly unbelievable that he hasn't been removed
