I have to say this, the President is why America cannot be great. He definitely thinks he is our gift and savior. Among all of the protests over the death of George Floyd, the President continues to call people thugs. He did a press conference today basically demanding law and order by saying that he will deploy thousands of military troops to all of the cities where there are rioters and looters. While he acknowledges there are peaceful protests, he vows to keep to keep citizens safe, but this was the same man who allowed violence during his presidential run. But he said he will not allow the angry mob to drown out the peaceful protestors but said justice will be served for George Floyd and his family. How interesting is it though, with the President's speech, he made it sound as if he has the authority to deploy these troops into cities. He doesn't have that authority unless the governors ask him. But he says if the governors and mayors don't take action to protect the citizens, then he will take over by deploying military personnel to handle things. Clearly, this won't handle things, but make it worse. By the way, you notice how he doesn't really address the George Floyd death but only the riots and looters and not what got people to riot and loot? And he said we must never give in to hatred and if violence reigns, then none of us are free. That's what many black people have been trying to say for some time now, preaching there should be be social justice instead of the injustices.
