Meanwhile, the black unemployment rate is at the highest in more than a decade

George Floyd would be pleased with the strong U.S. jobs data released Friday, President Donald Trump said, invoking the memory of the black man who died in police custody and looking past African American unemployment at the highest in more than a decade.

Trump also called it a “great, great day in terms of equality.” It’s not clear what he was talking about. While overall unemployment improved in May, the rate for African Americans ticked up to 16.8 per cent. Trump has grappled with how to respond to Floyd’s death — he’s condemned it and the officers involved, but also tried to snuff out protests demanding justice, police accountability and action to address racial inequality. Trump has no plans to attend Floyd’s funeral Tuesday in Houston.— Donald J. Trump June 5, 2020Trump has threatened to deploy active-duty forces to combat protesters in U.S. cities, drawing rebukes from political leaders in both parties.

Trump’s approval rating has slipped 2.5 points in the week and a half since Floyd died in the custody of a Minneapolis police officer who knelt into his neck for nine minutes.
