“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.

He also said, "The economy will recover very soon. I've been saying that for a long time...."
And he's too thick to realise
BlackBucketOfCheese · 05/06/2020 18:43

You are definitely being unreasonable in sharing anything that that idiot says

Problem is, and it’s the same with Boris, if we don’t talk about the racist shit this guy spouts then he gets away with being “oh haha, that bumbling idiot with the hair? He won’t get anywhere!”

To say this idiot has dementia is actually an insult to people who have dementia. He is indefensible an utterly despicable man.

If she was someone we knew and we saw that reaction we would all be extremely worries about her. I know she herself is openly racist, but even a racist doesn’t deserve the horror of that man.

He’s a vile human being. He also has dementia. That’s not an insult to anyone with dementia. Arseholes get dementia too.

Atalune · 05/06/2020 18:48

I feel terrified that we have ended up here.

SimonJT · 05/06/2020 18:51

Breonna Taylar would have turned 27 today, she was murdered in her own home, Trumps fails to explain why no one has been charged for her murder. But then shes a woman, all they are good for is grabbing by the pussy.

Him being in power shouldn’t be a shock, there are many similar and worse leaders elected in the last 100 years. Can we really be shocked when the Holocaust is in living memory.

ilovecardigans · 05/06/2020 18:51

I remember reading someone online saying that in an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst human being in the world would be two different people.

Unfortunately...

She looks petrified in that clip. And that’s even without seeing half her face.
SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/06/2020 18:52

I was both completely gobsmacked and utterly enraged at Trump’s words. He has done the sum total of absolutely nothing to improve the treatment of black Americans and has, instead, divided his country.

He is not stable and he is not - nor ever was - fit to preside over a burger van on the A1, never mind a whole country.

Silenceisnotgolden · 05/06/2020 18:56

I’m not surprised. Disgusted, yes. But surprised? Not at all. The man is a lunatic.

How dare he presume to know what George Floyd is feeling. It’s the height of disrespect and ignorance.

longwayoff · 05/06/2020 19:03

Vile, vile creature. Glad to hear a couple of generals finally speaking up against him. He's been channeling Mussolini since he swiped the presidency. Perhaps he's forgotten what happened to him. And to his paymaster. How America can let itself become the mockery of itself that it's rapidly developing into is absolutely beyond me. It will make itself a pariah state if it doesn't do something about that cretin. Unbelievable.

Ohtherewearethen · 05/06/2020 19:04

I am horrified and terrified that this obnoxious, thick, homophobic, racist, sexist, sex pest has got to a position of such power. He is a grade A narcissist and a very dangerous man. He's barely coherent in what he says and what he does say just gets more and more offensive and destructive each time. Not that he'll see it that way of course, he pays handsomely to be surrounded by yaysayers. I actually can't feel any sympathy for his wife though I'm afraid.
The Obamas, who were such a class act, being followed by this pair of fucking clowns is incomprehensible. And yet Boris wants to strengthen relations with this hateful gobshite. I guess birds of a feather...
Surely, surely, he won't be voted in again this year?

ComDummings · 05/06/2020 19:07

He’s insane. Absolutely insane. Yet so many people really do lap the shit he spouts up.

MorrisZapp · 05/06/2020 19:08

He's been telling Americans who he is from day one. Every fresh outrage only boosted his numbers. I don't assume he'll be voted out, I stopped assuming that any form of rationality would kick in years ago.

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 05/06/2020 19:11

The man is a misogynistic, racist, demented loon.

Swiftsseason · 05/06/2020 19:13

My problem is, what changed under Obama?

He had a long time in office, obviously not long enough to deeply change much but the new legislation that's being drawn up regarding police back ground etc.... Why wasn't that achieved under Obama, why wasn't it deep extended police training achieved under Obama

I'm just wondering why this comes back to trumps door and what can be done with a different regime in charge. If Obama couldn't achieve anything who can?

He's dangerous and unhinged

FeltCarrot · 05/06/2020 19:15

He also said “ Nobody’s ever done for the black community what
President Trump is doing.”
DD and I sat open mouthed at that one.

In the US it is up to individual states, the president doesn’t have that sort of power.
ilovecardigans · 05/06/2020 19:18

The man is the perfect example of an ignoranus - one who is both entirely ignorant and a complete arsehole simultaneously.

handbagsatdawn33 · 05/06/2020 19:26

I've learnt another new word on MN.

I think "ignoranus" is brilliant, & so much more refined than calling Trump a cunt etc
BTW, Trump meant fart where I come from.

GabsAlot · 05/06/2020 19:26

i saw this too utterly astounded- dont know why but he outdoes himself everytime

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 05/06/2020 19:27

He what?
