President Trump spoke about protests in Florida over the weekend, where he traveled to watch the launch of the SpaceX Demo-2 mission.President Trump spoke about protests in Florida over the weekend, where he traveled to watch the launch of the SpaceX Demo-2 mission.
Mass demonstrations have taken place across the country to call for justice for Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for more than seven minutes as Floyd pleaded for help. Tensions have escalated as police officers have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters, and some demonstrators have set buildings and cars on fire."Everything's on the table," Rollins told Politico in a remote interview."I think ultimately he believes, and rightfully so, that he is in a constant narrative and conversation with his citizens."Trump has been tweeting about the case and delivered lengthy remarks on the protests during a NASA event on Saturday.
Rollins, who heads the White House domestic policy council, said the White House is examining a list of possible bipartisan"solutions" focused on how to bring the country together.While Rollins talked about reaching across the aisle, Trump has repeatedly lashed out about the protests in partisan terms, calling out governors and mayors who are Democrats. He's urged officials to use the military to crack down on demonstrators.
United States isn't China ,United States isn't Russia so Mr Trump cannot be president for life or dictator
Just keep your mouth shut and maybe you won’t get lynched!
Save your speech! You’ll say something racist and ignorant and only stoke fires. I’d rather hear from George Bush, Jr.
Really! He's a BIG part of the problems: Covid_19 deaths, violence, racism, WhiteSupremacy. Whatever he has to say really means little in terms of changing anything at this point. The fact that he even has to think about it shows how weak a leader he is.
No one wants to hear from him. He is useless and a waste of oxygen.
Because he doesn’t care.
Best if he kept his mouth shut.
He needs to resign.
None of us care what he has to say. BLM ITMFA
I'd rather not hear a word from the buffoon. He is negative, idiotic, simple, and not helpful. His childishness will not ease anything or anyone. Save your breath orange one, and stay in your bunker.
Can we use democracy and vote on it? ... I’ll start by voting in favor of our current president not sharing his opinion. I’ll refer to my mom on this one- if you don’t have anything nice or productive to say then close your mouth.
He already delivered them in his tweets. I'm good.
Probably because he has no intention of addressing the core problems whatsoever.
He should
He is supposed to address the nation and be a calming force for us a citizen in this trying time. Come on Trump please just do the right thing here. Reagan would be dissapointed in you right now, he was someone you looked up to. This isn’t about you.....
He shouldn't bother. He's done enough damage.
Oh God help us. Just go play golf. We don’t really want to hear from you because you are a dangerous, evil man.
You can’t handle the heat you’ve created and it will come crashing down on you trump! Send the military after you, a dictator!
I think it's better he let ppl with a brain do the talking
Cancelled
Stay Away! Your the catalyst to this disaster
Impotus needs to shut the F up! He does nothing but incite Hate. Please Vote. 💖He must get out
COWARD
Keep him in the bunker, he need not say, every time he tweets the violence gets worse
We had the Great Depression, now this is the Great Divide
Someone tell him to STFU!!
So NPR and the media hit squad can be snarky about it no matter what is actually said? Why bother?
What helpful thing CAN he say? His intolerance has bred this toxicity.
He already talked about it quite a bit during his speech on Saturday.
Thus ensuring that he can keep to cracking down and encourage hard line tactics instead of deescalation. It makes his MAGA base feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see cops in riot gear cracking heads, or to blame it on 'antifa'; but it solves NOTHING and just makes matters worse.
He did a great job in his speech. We must crush those who are rioting destroying property and assaulting people
Who cares
None want to hear frm the IMPEACHED IMBECILE on ths or any othr societal issue at present. He's proven his UNWORTHIENESS; DERELICTION in DUTY; INCAPABLE of dealing w/complex issues other then by being a bully IdiotInChief TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumpMustGo TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
No thank you, unless you’re delivering your resignation charaltan
Does this mean we have pushed beyond any recognition of the 100k dead from Corponavirus? Trump never has to acknowledge it? Sounds right...
Please don't. Just stfu.
How does a leader not address this? Oh wait...
Americans do need to hear from someone who has compassion and understands the truthful history of the black struggle and this is not our current president!! How about Obama? I don’t see any reason for the current administration to worry about this!! The pandemic continues!!
No, thank you.
He has nothing constructive to say. I cannot think of one issue he's involved himself in that he hasn't made worse.
If he does speak, he'll be reading from a teleprompter words that somebody else wrote (his limited vocabulary of 400 words doesn't go far) and he'll read it in his usual tedious and monotonous voice. The thrills await us.
It's too late
Please no!!
Too late. At this point, he should just crawl back into his bunker. GeorgeFloydProtests
Lead, follow, or GET OUT OF THE WAY!
If you want to effect him ignor him!!
Please tell him not to bother he should have done that a week ago. The only thing we need from him now is to keep hiding in his bunker until November when we vote him out. BunkerTrump
not a problem. Nobody cares anymore to listen to his BS and lies.
Please God NO
Yeah, but everytime trump weighs in, his phony doctor takes off at least a hundred pounds.
Please just don't say anything. Please.
Is the ball less wonder going to address the country from his bunker?
Decisions, decisions: GOLF or Address and unify nation. WWTD? CowardinChief
PassOnThis BunkerBoy
realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse I think Dan Rather stated everyone's thoughts best when he said the above statement. There is nothing you can or will say that is encouraging, positive, beneficial, or healing to the people of this country.
Let him speak, it’ll help people with a conscience decide if this is the America they want.
WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump It is absolutely shameful this is even debateable to any of you. We have a national crisis in the midst of a pandemic that's killed well over 100k Americans as it is. And here you are all acting childish.
No one is going to believe a word.
He’s really not wanted b/c he doesn’t help
No one wants to hear
There is nothing Trump can say that anyone would believe.
That’s because ArchieBunker has no clue what he’s doing. He’s in way over his head and doesn’t know what to do.
Idiot
If the address is just about George Floyd, he missed the point of the protests. Racial inequalities from financial to healthcare to respect as human beings to governance to ...
No matter what, you hate him blindly.
Hes bringing in the National Guard to surround the White House...all I can think of is Kent State Breaks my heart
Is there somebody else?
Seem's waiting for the Governors to get the anarchists, riots, fires and looting under control.
No We Are good Go to your bunker and stay there!!!!
all i see is a huge turd wearing red tie..
He should really just stay in his bunker and not say anything. Anything he says will only make it worse
Thing is that the protests are proving the point of why people are protesting.
Media, have Obama speak. We need someone who will actually try and easily succeed in being eloquent. T---p couldn't put out a campfire with a fire hose but loves to throw gasoline on a ember.
President cannot unite people. Period.
As the president he should be addressing the nation at this time. But bc of who he is I don’t even want him to. Doubt he’d say anything helpful or inspiring, possibly just cause more anger and damage.
It has been almost a week. Late to the party as usual. Meanwhile, even with the riots, his base is eroding as it becomes clearer that there are darker forces at the heart of the matter. Always blaming someone else, but that's old and tired.
Such a comfort to the American people
He absolutely should NOT speak. He only makes things worse with his thoughtlessness and cruelty. Fuck that guy.
He's incapable, a day late, a dollar short, and it will only make things worse. Leaders know how and when to lead.
I am ashamed to know your name. terrible
Why bother? Blah, blah,blah, all nonsense
Look at Trump's notes on this. Options: Do and Say Nothing Say Something Inflammatory Go Golfing
Stay in the Bunker!
don’t speak. keep your mouth shut. too little, too late. your hypocrisy would be apparent for all to see.
Anything he says will be jibberish and racist.
I hope I never hear any of his bullshit ever again !
Nothing like decisive leadership.
As odd as it is to not see a president deliver an address in a time of crisis, it's probably for the best that he continue to shirk his leadership responsibilities for this crises because clearly 100k dead and his daily 'speeches' didn't help
Because he knows he’ll sound like an idiot compared to rational human beings that actually have a heart.
Ya I think he's more a part of the problem than anything maybe he can appoint someone more qualified to address the situation
Cowards hide while leaders lead. realDonaldTrump is a coward plain and simple!
I wonder what there is to decide?
Just tell him to save it we don’t really want to hear from him right now. His rambling bumbling speeches will only make things worse. Nothing comes from his heart and his soul.....does he even have a soul?
What could he possibly say? He either has to eat the words he’s Tweeted (and risk offending racists) or double down and makes things worse. FakePresident RacistInChief RacistLeadsRacistsFollow
Total failure of leadership. Trump is a coward and America needs to demand his resignation. TrumpOrAmerica
God, I hope not. I couldnt bear to hear whatever pus would flow from that diseased mind.
The clown wouldn't have anything useful to say nor would his words have even a tiny ounce of sincerity.
BE A LEADER!!!
Strength.
He has nothing of any value to contribute. He has been gleefully tweeting incendiary thoughts and commentary. Nothing he says changes that.
Too late.
No one wants to hear it!
A political speech as a 'damage control'.
Did anyone see his speech on Saturday I would think some of you journalists or MSM might have. Why aren't you reporting on it?
The mere fact that this is even debated is a clear show of his complete incompetence.
It's way too late for that. A real leader would have addressed the nation by Friday. tRump instead hid in the basement and has already telegraphed that he's going golfing this coming weekend. No sense of urgency, no plan, no respect.
We don’t care to hear him anymore...
This divisive, pathetic excuse for a leader will no doubt do the courageous thing ... and tweet vigorously from his bunker.
Hey, you got ratioed: 1.94 at the time of this response (417 replies, 215 likes).
A coward during Vietnam and a Coward now.
Don’t waste your time, the governors & mayors need to grow a spine and learn to do what they are being paid to do, keep civil order! Eliminate criminals, black looters and white anarchist from the streets!
Spare us.
Is anyone surprised by his cowardice?
I hope he doesn’t say anything he’ll just make things worse
Please don't bother. Need to hear from someone with leadership skills.
I’d rather he just go back down to the bunker notmypresident
Part of me thinks that the country needs its president to do this but then I think...nah....that won't help. In fact it will make things worse.
Here is a hint. It’s already too late. Again.
Don’t bother
Didn’t he already “speak” to us when he asked for more force? Think we’re done here.
Too late.
That should stoke more riots
He has to wait til somebody writes it.
There is nothing he can say that will make anything any better, unless it’s “As of midnight tonight, I am resigning the presidency*”
Shut the f up realDonaldTrump
Yeah, we are good. pass on any words from BunkerBoy
Please don’t just go golfing and let the adults clean up your mess
Would any other person even have to think about it？
NPR lies. Not sure WHEN. NPR get part of the story.
Just keep on weighing what to do...feckless, incompetent, useless fake president.
The brave brave President so bravely ran away.
He’s hesitating. What a wimp. His authority is now being questioned by the whole world and he can’t have his little MAGA rally’s anymore.
45 is a coward.
I say just don't. We are sick of hearing your lies and your teleprompter readings are far less than coherent. Too late for any empathy, we all know you dont have it in you.
Save your breath, it's too late and any sane rational thinking person knows that anything you say is just bullshit and no one believes you.
Probably needs a nap first.
Hoping he won’t. I could cause more anger.
He decided - fuck him.
Now you are quiet?
Only one word WEAK. who else gets to decide not to do a basic part of their job just because they are really bad it. I don’t care what he says and will not listen to him but it is his job to put himself out there and address national crises and receive the inevitable critique
I hope the reporters bring up those RAPE CHARGES
Not interested
What is taking so long?
Weighing options? Way too late dude....
His interpersonal skills and ability to communicate in an honest human connection is undeveloped. Stunted. Fractured. Pushing himself to the front of international leaders and behaving like a malcontent in front of the world. There is no hope for him. Not now or ever. Spare us.
Cover Biden not Trump. Trump’s playing the media to follow his lead and meet his goals. Cover Biden as Presidential
He would have to leave his bunker. He has been hiding there since it started
No sir
He’s done enough. There’s nothing he can say that will change 105,000 dead.
Too much for his tiny brain to take in, plus how does he speak to a nation that does not want racism when he is more of the attitude to lead the Ku Klux Klan?
UnfitAndUnstable how can you not know what is the right thing to do? This proves again you should resign and are unfit for the office😡
Please don’t! We can’t hear your voice of hatred anymore. Nor do we want to hear you poorly read some statement someone else has written for you.
No matter what he says it won't help. He will turn it into a self promoting rant where he attacks democratic leaders, the press, and say 'like no one could have imagined' or 'never before' after every lie
It'salready taken this long, he clearly doesn't give a fuck. A real president would have been on this day one.
His silence does a lot of damage already; him speaking would only do more.
Can’t imagine it would help.
MSNBC CNN dcblackout Please don’t speak Trump will make it worse. Trump is the reason we have riots. His tweets have inflamed the situation & his incompetence and ignorance is frightening! TrumpHasNoPlan TrumpHasFailedAmerica TrumpResignow Biden2020
Ugh. I hope he doesn't. The last thing mayors and governors need right now is the walking embodiment of white privilege to shoot his mouth off.
He kind of missed the moment, didn’t he?
Radical left is the enemy of the USA!!!
Yep, he’s “thinking” about it. He hasn’t a clue.
Honestly wedon’t need to hear from him. Everything he says is inflammatory and pointless. He will just blame someone elsefor the riots.
Let’s not have him say anything. We as a nation need real leadership and it sure as hell isnt him
What a fop.
Nah he can hide forever
I just hope me mentions Tony Timpa.
At this point, why? It would just highlight his indifference, his ineptitude, and his inability to lead the people of this nation. He’s just too late to be any help at this point.
Naw, just keep rage tweeting from yr baby bunker
Best if the orange-head just resigns. Then whoever can give us a press release. Meanwhile let him hide in his little bunker like the coward and baby he is. TRUMP_APOCALYPSE
You're out of your element, Donny.
Best if the orange-head just resigns. Then whoever can give us a press release. Meanwhile let him hide in his little bunker like a the coward and baby he is. TRUMP_APOCALYPSE
- It's a week too late for him to speak. Any words of 'comfort' will ring hollow. Most anything else will make the situations worse.
He is really treading dangerous water. At this point depending on what he says, does or doesn’t do could bring people to revolt. There will be real reason for him to hide in that bunker. People around him better get him to grow up quick.
Stay off the airwaves please Mr President
The American people have rose up in anger. At the many Injustices underneath the Trump Administration. This is the time Trump will have the military on Main Street and announce that he is president for life. For the good of the country. Americans beware
Too late. Make him resign.
He doesn’t speak because he knows his discomfort is visible to anyone watching
Hasn’t decided? Is that the man that’s supposed to be leading and unifying our country? BunkerDon
No need. We will proceed without him. As we have been. He doesn’t need the platform. Done listening. Bye. CancelDonaldTrump
No problem. One less thing.
This evening would be a good time to tender his Resignation.
He is too busy hiding in the bunker.
Spare us. We’ve already heard from BarackObama
We Americans deserve great leadership. I don't see this on either side, very disturbing 😭😭
It is not easy giving a last minute speech with 1 and 2 syllable words. BunkerBoy
Leaders lead. This is not something a leader has to think about. Should have already addressed the nation. No surprise. LiarInChief
I’ll get the popcorn ready.
I don't think we really need to hear from him. His silence has been louder than his twitter.
It's fine. We don't need to hear him say ANYTHING.
Cool. He can just resign instead.
He’s taking his time to figure out how to spin it to praise himself in the process. If there’s no praise involved for himself it just doesn’t seem productive for America.
Need to hear from President Trump. Want to know that he's saddened, outraged by death of George Floyd, that he understands the protests, but cannot tolerate continued violence, and requests that all govs declare an 8pm curfew in USA until further notice.
He might not be able to see, are the lights still off? 🐔💩
THERE IS ONE THING NOT ON THE TABLE THAT WOULD BE AN ENORMOUS HELP IN ADDRESSING THE PROTESTS...HAVING DONNIE RESIGN AS THE WORST, RACIST PRESIDENT OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD TO SUFFER UNDER.
Trump at his rallies has delivered hateful messaging ... he wants riots and chaos because it detracts from the coronavirus, the millions of people out of work, and the edgy economy.
Coward
Nobody wants to hear from this buffoon
He definitely should not. His mouth has caused enough damage to this country.
Hopefully realDonaldTrump will decide not to address the nation. His rhetoric and lack of empathy or understanding can only make matters worse. Local leaders can handle this better without his input. SylvesterTurner & ArtAcevedo doing a much better job.
It has been a week since the murder. The time has long passed. Just like the two months realDonaldTrump waited to acknowledge the existence of COVID19.
It's too late. He missed his chance to unify. He doesn't know how to lead.
If he starts blabbing on about releasing dogs, amping up military response and arrests, ppl will come out even harder.
no matter what he says, NPR will find a way to spin it to sow more anger, hatred, and division. Trump’s best method is to take the Joe Biden route and hide in a bunker until election day.
Too late. He has made his position clear.
If he does deliver a formal speech to America, I hope it’s from his hunkered down bunker. Most fitting from the hiding in chief.
We DONT WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM UNLESS HE IS RESIGNING
Let’s call Obama
Please don’t. STFU please.
He has no capacity for empathy or common descency so it would just be forced, bumbling at best and incoherent at worst. This nation needs new leadership.
Please go back to your bunker. We have no President, and that is why the White House is dark. By tradition, it is lit 24 hours a day, and only dims upon the death of a President. And you have killed all decency, all truth, all honor, and all tradition. You are the darkness.
Nobody wants to hear from this clown
don-the-con trump IS NOT: a lawyer, teacher, brave, compassionate, minister, doctor, ex-military, historian, scientist, literate, benefactor, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, a loyal husband, psychologist, nor physic.
Don’t bother- don’t want to listen to his blather
I go with NO!
Trump has supported racists before. Nothing news worthy here
If he gives a speech that isn't 'I resign' then it'd be a waste of a breath
This situation should”MOVE” him to speak to his Country. Not Decide!!
You’ll only make things worse. Just stay hiding in your bunker, you coward realDonaldTrump
Why does he think that’s an option It’s his JOB. Imagine protests and riots breaking out in OVER 140 CITIES and tell me ONE other president who would have skipped out.
We all know he fans the flames and therefore has nothing to say that most of the country wants to hear. A miserable failure and human, if he is one! Putin must be very happy with his stooge BunkerBitch
No- please lord no. Tag in Pence for this if you must. But please- do not let him do it. Things are bed enough. He does not have the capacity for the message.
If he would have said something helpful it would have been done by now.
He needs to keep his mouth shut! He’s only making this worse. BunkerTrump
Please don’t.
He needs to crawl back to the basement and let the governors and mayors take care of this.
White House adviser = do us all a favor and keep him in the bunker....
I’m sure Stephen Miller is working on his speech right now. 🙄👺
He is utterly useless.
If he does, the results will be horrific. He will be throwing gasoline on the fires himself. We all know it
dont
No other president would even think twice whether the address the nation right now. What is wrong with this man? CowardinChief TrumpIsARacist
What are you talking about,Stephen Miller does not have it within him to write a speech of feelings of black people innocents and intentional killings by law enforcement personnel It's a fact that Miller is a 'White Supremacist' and realDonaldTrump is a racist and has no meaning
let's hope not. We don't need him doing any more encouragement of his brownshirts.
Please don’t.
CowardInTheBunker
Hasn't decided. He doesn't have the balls, backbone, or character to lead at a time like this. Normally he would just run away, leave the mess for others to clean up. No bankruptcy option for what's happening now. Complete failure.
I think his silence is more than enough.
Yeah, cause you know, as president you can't make a decision about making a speech. Unreal.
realDonaldTrump waiting for Putin's draft of that speech?
The best thing this inept human could do is play golf.
This is just bullsh*t. Sorry NPR.
cause everything he says will just make it worse... ok thats what he does his whole life...
That’s OK, America has heard enough lies from him already!
He needs to keep his mouth shut...from now until he loses the election and is out of the WH...and beyond. Wretched hateful non-human being, which is the nicer way of putting it... something he doesn't know how to do. The World is Sick of his Sh*t.
He’s got to get his racists dog whistles just right.
No one who is not a MAGAt wants to hear from sociopath- in-chief
Just go away
What a leader. A brick could be more inspiring than Trump.
I think the Country (the non-white supremacists) would prefer that he didn't.
We no longer need to hear from him. He called Putin before calling the Governors of some of the States. The time for him to speak passed a day or two ago.
Really, why bother? At best he reads a speech off a teleprompter that he clearly doesn't believe in, then undoes it with another tweet 24 hours later. Let him sit in his bunker until the election is over. Then throw him out.
No one needs to hear nails on a blackboard right now.
better scheduled it between his afternoon stimulant use and evening sun-downing.
Problem is that if an aide writes a nice compassionate speech it will be VERY HARD for LittleDonnie to just recite it and not go off the rails and scream at the grownups that he is VERY MAD at them for being so UNFARE to him!
god I hope not
Don't even bother. He always makes things worse, and sadly he doesn't even care about what happened
Everyone keep telling him it will be good for his ratings. Let him go ramble for a bit. Part of the Democrat plan to replace him....Just let him talk.
Don't bother. He'd Fuck it up anyways.
About two days too late this guy is not a leader
He should just keep quiet.
Translation he would wait until his MAGA cult start violent protests and then go on tv and claim they were very fine people.
Maybe he’s just giving up, you guys 😔😄😄
Anything the Manchurian Combover says we sure as f$ck will use against him in November. So sure, let him exercise his 400-word vocabulary....
I think it's WAY too late Anyways his lack of Compassion and Empathy speaks volumes Any words coming from him are just Hollow Words 😒
No thanks
He's too late now anyway. Absentee President. The largest leadership vacuum I have witnessed in my lifetime.
