Jill cried watching the George Floyd video. Just horrible.
My staff took to Twitter to attack Trump. Seems right. I need to make a statement to the press about MN, but my team is telling me what I should think first, then I will practice it for a few hours and then I’ll go on a 7 minute or less interview to repeat whatever the statement they tell me to say is. So, after I practice what I’m going to say for a few hours, I will go on TV. Got it.
VP pick looks like it will probably be Stacey Abrams. At least that’s my guess. My staff keep making me practice her last name. Not Abraham. Abram. It’s somewhat difficult. So maybe she’s the VP pick. Just guessing.
Right now, I can’t think about much. I’m sad for George Floyd. I hope my staff lets me say that. I’m also sad for the businesses owned by people of color that were in the way of the rage and anger and were burned and looted. I’m sad and disappointed that a person who was supposed to be protecting people – instead chose to end a life. It wasn’t a mistake or accident. It wasn’t something where the policeman acted in self defense or mistook a phone for a gun. It was just unacceptable and very sad. I hope my staff can find a way for me to say both. And ask for peace.
Maybe when the stay at home orders are lifted in two days I can go to Minnesota. And express my sadness and grieve with the family and Minnesota. Probably not, since Democrats have won MN in last 11 elections and they only have 10 electoral college votes anyway. But, if they let me, I would still go. I’ll ask, and keep my fingers crossed. No one seems to listen to my suggestions, but maybe they will on this one?
Come on, man.
