Is anyone seriously going to consider Trump can speak and act in a unifying manner on this topic? Or any other topic, for that matter?

Kid. Bambi, maybe.

I'd rephrase as "Is anyone serious going to..."

That lets those two off.

Doesnt matter to you what Trump says in his address.

Just like last week pre-bible incident - and the speech he gave prior to that at SpaceX launch

Interesting that you'd say it doesn't matter to me. How and why would you draw such a conclusion? Why would it not matter to me or to anyone what the POTUS would have to say in a speech such as the one proposed?

Can you cite some positive quotes from the 2 speeches I mentioned?

Not until these two things happen:

You answer my questions. And you post the speeches you are referring to.

Quote
President Trump’s Job Approval rating has fallen to 41% among Registered Voters. That’s the lowest level measured in a Scott Rasmussen national survey. Fifty-seven percent (57%) currently disapprove.

Those numbers include 28% who Strongly Approve and 47% who Strongly Disapprove.

The president earns approval from 46% of white voters, 15% of black voters, and 31% of Hispanic voters.

While most rurual voters (55%) approve of the president’s performance, that view is shared by 39% of suburban voters and 31% of those living in urban areas.

Last week, polling conducted by Scott Rasmussen for JustTheNews.com found the president’s Job Approval at 45%. In fact, several months of survey results found President Trump’s approval ratings holding steady in the mid-40s.

Because he's already made it abundantly clear where his feelings lie and what his positions are.  Also most of what he says are falsehoods and distortions anyway.

So was today another great day for George Floyd?

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/501612-white-house-considering-trump-speech-on-race-unity-report


President Trump could make a major address to the nation regarding policing and the recent protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, White House aides say, according to a new report by CNN.

At the same time, CNN reported that some Trump advisers think the president can double down on his "law and order" message, even though he came under criticism last week because of it.

These advisers argue that the reduction in violence since Trump's statement last Monday would allow him to argue his actions have been effective.

The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill on CNN's reporting.


 "I believe you're going to be hearing from the president this week on this topic in some detail."---so, we will get what? 4 or 5 tweets quoting from "Lester Maddox's Big Book of Racial Harmony (with foreward by George Wallace)"?

Is anyone seriously going to consider Trump can speak and act in a unifying manner on this topic? Or any other topic, for that matter?

Trump unifying -fuck no.

This fucking speech is going to talk about what he's done for the coloreds, what do coloreds have to lose AND  his Lawn Order approach to MAGA.

He's horrifying.

But he knows TV and ratings.

I undersztand Trump is going to do his best Oda Mae Brown impression and channel George Floyd looking down on us from on high.

This is going to be mixed message must see TV.

get your popcorn and AR-15s ready Trump wants a fucking civil war.

Trump is up 6 points with white voters 49% - 43%.



That's trouble.


Why DID Trump get 58% of the white vote in 2016, including 53% women?

It’s good to know how you are keeping your hopes for an abrupt end to the American experiment alive.

Though you can never come back home again, it’s still important that you understand the shit pile you call a life didn’t happen because America failed you. It happened because you failed America. While treason is a natural response for a whiny little bitch, your hostility as always is misplaced.

The majority of Americans did not vote for Trump.

BTW, still waiting for the answer to those direst questions I had for you. And post those speeches, too.

EDITOR’S NOTE: When staff writer LARRYBDNC wrote this piece in December 2018, we had no idea who George Floyd was or that he would die less than two years later under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, igniting protests across the country and bringing “Black Lives Matter” back into the headlines. Donald Trump and other racists are already attempting to change the narrative, but “Blue Lives Matter” is as much a racist trope today as it was then.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Nah, man - not me


This guy will thankfully do real time.  Just matters for him now if he can get out.

5 mil bail would have been a nice number.
