Trump imagines reaction by George Floyd (who is dead) to jobs numbers: 'This is a great day for him, it’s a great day for everybody'

Today, Donald Trump imagined the response of a dead man who was killed by police to new U.S. jobs numbers.

Trump said George Floyd's reaction to the jobs numbers would have been that it's a great thing.

Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country. This is a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody."

Yes, this is a real thing the president just said.

I had to clip this because it is unbelievable. President @realDonaldTrump just said this: Hopefully, George is looking down right and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country. It's a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody." #GeorgeFloyd pic.twitter.com/6CbGoLJrRg
