Invoking George Floyd's name while speaking Friday was incomprehensible and stunning and it showed Trump's disconnect from the pain and tumult that has unfolded in this country | Analysis by Maeve Reston
President Donald Trump showed his breathtaking disconnect from the pain and tumult that has unfolded in this country after George Floyd's death, declaring Friday that new economic numbers and nationwide protests against racism and police brutality had made it"a great day" for Floyd.
"Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country," Trump said Friday in the Rose Garden, shortly after arguing that the economy is coming back like a"rocket ship." "This is a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody," Trump said.
