Trump: George Floyd Is 'Looking Down' and Celebrating 'This Great Day'
After President Donald Trump celebrated unexpectedly good jobs numbers on Friday, and then briefly alluded to a fight for “equal justice under the law,” he said he hoped George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes, was “looking down” and celebrating “this great day.”
The U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 13.3 percent in May, according to government figures — however the rate for African-Americans rose to 16.8 percent, according to a report published Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The highest rate was for Latino workers, with 17.6 percent out of work.
Despite this, Trump called it “a tremendous tribute to equality” — an apparent nod to both recent protests against police brutality and the return of millions of jobs that disappeared during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, color, gender, or creed. They have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement. They have to receive it. You also saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen,” Trump said from the White House Rose Garden.
