President Trump praised the use of tear gas and other force to disperse Minneapolis protesters, calling it a “beautiful scene” and describing the National Guard’s actions “like a knife cutting butter.”

“I’ll never forget. You saw the scene on that road … they were lined up. Man, they just walked straight. And yes, there was some tear gas and probably some other things,” Trump said in opening remarks at a roundtable on policing and race. “And the crowd dispersed and they went through. By the end of that evening, and it was a short evening, everything was fine.”

Trump’s event at a conservative, evangelical and predominantly white church in Dallas on Thursday afternoon came as the White House has yet to announce what new measures it might support in response to the protests against racial injustice that have gripped the nation since the killing of George Floyd by a police officer.

Trump did not mention Floyd by name in his remarks but suggested the work of confronting bigotry and prejudice will “go quickly and it’ll go very easily.”

"Beautiful scene"? Yee-eck. Can you imagine the right wing reaction if Obama talked like Trump? I wonder how 39% of Americans can still say with a straight face they support this excuse of a "president."

1. And said "school choice" (dw for segregation) was one of their proposed "solutions"

2. Why do I get the feeling that Trumps idea on how to make it go away quickly would involve camps with

poison gas showers?

[Nevilledog]

3. So he admitted they used tear gas. Barr spent a lot of time saying no tear gas.

I think we can count this as the first true thing trump has said.

4. Was this his great address to America on race? Or is Miller still writing?

5. Confronting

6. whenever he goes off-script

He just says stupid shit, like eliminating bigotry and prejudice will "go quickly and it'll go very easily." Oh, right, it's been so EASY in the past.

This guy is a total joke. Geez, you have to hope enough previous Trump voters are fed up with his platitudes and attitudes. Still, that won't matter if we turn out enough to vote Dem.
