In a comment deemed callous and insensitive by his critics, President Donald Trump said Friday morning that "hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country" while celebrating a small rebound in U.S. employment figures.
The president made the comment while touting a Labor Department report that says the country's unemployment rate dropped to 13.3 percent in May, down from 14.7 in April. For black Americans, the unemployment rate went up. Trump insinuated Friday morning that Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis on May 25, would be proud of the slight U.S. economic turnaround.
Trump's comments were quickly blasted by his critics, led by presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president, Joe Biden.
Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
