CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin said that it was “shocking” that he did not make a statement about Minneapolis or take questions

“Stunning. President Trump says nothing about Minnesota as the nation is on edge and leaves the Rose Garden without taking questions,” wrote Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for.Joe Biden On George Floyd Death: "The Original Sin Of This Country Still Stains Our Nation Today"

The abrupt end of the news conference came after his tweet earlier in the day, when he commented on the George Floyd protests by writing, “looting leads to shooting.” Twitter slapped a label on the tweet for violating its rules on “glorifying violence,” but Trump tried to clarify what he meant later in the day.

He wrote on Friday afternoon, “Looting leads to shooting, and that’s why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night – or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I don’t want this to happen, and that’s what the expression put out last night means. It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media.

….It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!In his remarks to reporters, Trump also said that his administration would begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give “special treatment” to Hong Kong, after China tightened its security laws over the region.

It’s shocking that her headquarters was attacked tonight. Proving that cnn is not popular with protesters either.

Not shocking at all! Trump don't care. he called Flyod's family but he waited till today 5 days later?

Why is this shocking? This is how he always acts.

he is whooped that's why. He is just going to leave your country on the brink of war, in recession and hated by the rest of the world - and he will retire to his faux-gold tax havens, tweet bile about the next president and gloat about the mess he has left.

Honestly, I’m no longer shocked by anything he says or does.

Huh wtf did u expect butterflies, cookies

Was it? No it wasn’t. He would rather talk about shooting people on Twitter.

No, Donald Trump Is Not a Working-Class HeroSalena Zito argues that Trump is the sole reliable friend of people who make things with their hands. Unions would disagree. Ah works at Con America. Who the hell is Salena Zito and why have you elevated whatever stupidity she's spewing? Is she someone? Zito ignores the large of people who went to college but whose working class parents sacrificed so we could get an education. We have WC class relatives we admire and love. How dare Zito equate ignorance and hatred w/WC values. Don't look now but Trump is losing white WC women.

Where’s the lie? He is right on both. The ppl who stormed that capitol with guns threatening the governor were true 'thugs.' These ppl who are protesting are just fed up and exercising their constitutional right to peacefully protest. Get it straight POTUS
