As to the rest: he's tried plenty to calm the situation.

He called the murder of Floyd horrific

He told peaceful protesters they have an allies in him

He directed his DOJ to conduct a full investigation

 

Unless of course your boy can try and make a peaceful protest into something it wasn't.  Right?

...We should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart. There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag - NO KNEELING!

Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag. It has never been. We can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities.

We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform.
We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history! If not now, then when?

We as a white community need to listen and learn from the pain and suffering of our black communities. We must acknowledge the problems, identify the solutions, and then put this into action. The black community cannot do it alone. This will require all of us.

"political agenda" indeed.


As to the other two items on your list:

1) Calling is horrific is the simply stating the obvious. Given Trump's well know lack of vocabulary I'm just surprised he didn't throw two or three "very" in in front it.

2) He had a choice? It's on video. The nation was rising up about it. You'll have to excuse those of us who don't stand up and applaud when Trump does something he was supposed to do instead of crapping his pants. He just crapped them later for his "political agenda".

"GTFO" indeed.
