Trump Says He Hopes George Floyd Is "Looking Down" From Heaven Celebrating Jobs Report!
Donald Trump said he hoped George Floyd was “looking down right now†as he trumpeted a surprise decline in the nation's unemployment rate, saying "this is a great day for him, this is a great day for everybody".
It was revealed on Friday that May's jobless rate fell to 13.3 per cent from April's 14.7 per cent - a post-World War II high - despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which had many pundits predicting a jobless rate of 20 per cent or more.
The president crowed on Twitter all morning before making an at-times rambling speech in the White House rose garden, in which he brought up Mr Floyd - who was killed by police on Memorial Day after an officer forced his knee on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes while facing the ground in handcuffs.
