* on edit: Wolf Blitzer just covered this in his 8:00 (central) time slot. Trump thinks he can turn his shitty week around by addressing race, because he thinks all the talk about defunding police departments will help his re-election chances.

(51,122 posts)After dickhead said that George Floyd was happily looking down from heaven after the released the rigged employment report, I saw someone here on DU suggest that every question reporters ask trump should start with "What would George Floyd think about this....."
What would George Floyd have to say about the increased police presence?
What would George Floyd think about you gutting all the environmental laws?
I support this idea.

(12,712 posts)STFU Fascist. You have already done enough to divide and your words are simply meaningless. They come from your insatiable desire to dominate us all and nothing you say will act as any kind of bromide or salve. NOTHING.
Go politic in the bunker and try to re-elect yourself.

He should use his oratory and people skills and discard any prepared remarks. He has the best words and the biggest mind not to mention the biggest ... err ... hands so it should go well. Only he can fix it.
The result will be another hour of ads ready made for the Lincoln Project.
The dumbass will bury himself.

(14,627 posts)It was announced on Ana Cabreras show on CNN but she also said Dumps aides werent committing to it yet. I think they were floating the idea to see what kind of traction it gets. Anyone with a lick of sense would say this is a terrible idea.

Greatest economy until my incompetence started killing people.
Just the other day, I was talking to the White House butler. Great guy... strong guy...he comes up with tears in his eyes and says; "sir, you've done so much for black people, before, we had bare cabinets...the cabinets were bare, but now their full"
Dear Penthouse Forum,
This has never happened to me before, but the other night....oh wait... that was something else I was working on.
You know, a lot of people are saying; "America is going to be just like after Jesus came... great guy BTW, but he couldn't have done what I've done... but people are saying, America is going to start tracking year with BT and AT, everyone's saying it.. I've done such a great job... tremendous really... but people are saying, we'll be saying Before Trump and After Trump, because we've done so well
Thank you President Trump"
