President Donald Trump may be trying to appease the Black electorate or maybe he, too, was just shocked by the graphic video in the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The 46-year-old was detained by police for a forgery allegation when Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who already had Floyd on the ground, placed his knee on his neck for over eight minutes.
While bystanders implored Chauvin to allow Floyd, who was moaning and saying he couldn’t breathe, to get off him, Floyd lost consciousness and died later at a Minneapolis hospital.

Chauvin and the three other officers on the scene were fired, but none have been charged or arrested.
